5.0 on Google — what Tenerife drivers say
What does a come-to-you car locksmith do at your vehicle?
Every one of these I do at your vehicle in Tenerife — no tow, no shop appointment. Pick the one that fits and you'll land on the page with the detail and the price. This come-to-you service is the mobile arm of my mobile automotive locksmith Tenerife shop.
Lost all keys (AKL)
No working key left? I decode, cut, and program a fresh one at the car. All-keys-lost starts at €200 for most transponder and remote-head keys, or from €200 for a push-to-start smart key. A second key made the same visit costs less than coming back for it later — I put that number in your written quote.
Spare / extra key
A planned second key before you need it. Transponder from €60, smart key from €200.
Key fob programming
Remotes and proximity fobs paired to your car — bring your own or I supply. From €60.
Car key cutting
A copy of a working key, edge-cut or laser-cut. Plain mechanical copy from €40.
Car lockout
Keys locked inside? Non-destructive entry — no broken windows, no pried doors. from €56.
Fob battery
Fob gone dead? Often just the coin cell — I'll sort the battery or the programming on-site.
Why the dealer isn't your only option
Dealer-level access — for most makes on the road.
The reason a locksmith can replace a modern car key at all is access to the manufacturer's key and immobilizer data — information, hardware, and software. I have that access across most domestic, Asian, and many European makes, which is how I cut and program a fresh key at your car instead of sending you to a dealer bay on a tow.
A few of the newest high-security platforms add an extra programming layer that's case-by-case — so I never promise "all makes, no exceptions." Text me your year, make, and model and I'll confirm yours before I dispatch.

How much does an auto locksmith cost in Tenerife? My real prices, no bait quotes.
A replacement car key in Tenerife starts at from €56 for a basic transponder and runs to €200 for an all-keys-lost job; a car lockout is from €56 — and the price I text you before I dispatch is the price you pay.
Most Tenerife locksmiths hide the number behind "call for a quote." Here are my floors. The final price depends on your vehicle and key type, and you get it in writing by text — the number I send is the number you pay. The only exception is a €30 service-call fee if I drive out and the vehicle can't be serviced for a reason that wasn't shared up front — or if the job is cancelled after I'm on the road, or no one's there when I arrive; outside Puerto de la Cruz, a distance travel charge is always in the quote first. All jobs add 7% IGIC, the Canary Islands sales tax — labour-only work like the from €56 car lockout or programming a fob you already own included.

Auto locksmith questions, answered straight.
The ones I get most. More on the full FAQ page.
What does a mobile auto locksmith do that a dealership doesn't?
I come to your vehicle and cut and program the key on the spot — no tow into a dealer bay, no waiting on a parts order. Using dealer-level access — the same information, hardware, and software path a dealership works from — I handle spare keys, lost-all-keys replacement, transponder and proximity smart keys, fob programming, and non-destructive lockouts for most makes on the road. The dealer can do the key too, but usually only at their shop, on their schedule, after a tow if you've lost every key.
How much does an auto locksmith cost in Tenerife?
At Otypro in Tenerife, spare or replacement transponder keys start at €60, remote-head/flip keys at €120, proximity smart keys at €200, and lost-all-keys (AKL) at €200. Fob programming on its own starts at €60, a plain mechanical key copy at €40, and a car lockout is from €56. The exact number depends on your year, make, model, and the key type — you get it in writing by text before I dispatch. Full breakdown on the pricing page. Text +34 747 733 779 with your year, make and model.
Do you work on all makes?
Most makes on the road — domestic, Asian, and many European — across transponder, remote-head, flip, and proximity smart keys. A handful of the newest high-security platforms add an extra programming layer that's case-by-case. Text me your year, make, and model and I'll confirm yours before I dispatch, so you never pay for a trip I can't finish.
What's the difference between an auto locksmith and a regular locksmith?
An automotive locksmith — also called a car locksmith — works on vehicles: car keys, transponders, immobilizers, fobs, and car lockouts. A residential or commercial locksmith works on house and building locks — different trade, different tools. I do automotive only: no house locks, no business doors, no safes. If your problem isn't on wheels, I'll point you to someone good at it rather than pretend it's my job.
Can you come to me anywhere in Tenerife?
Yes — the whole point is that I'm mobile. I cover Tenerife end to end (Santa Cruz, La Laguna, Tacoronte, Candelaria, Puerto de la Cruz, Adeje), and I work at your driveway, a car park, or wherever the car is sitting. Travel inside Puerto de la Cruz is typically free; anywhere beyond it carries a distance travel charge, always named in the written quote first.
My only key is lost — can you still make one?
Yes — that's the all-keys-lost (AKL) job, and it's one of my most common calls. With no key to copy, I decode the locks at the vehicle, cut a fresh key to that code, and program it to your car's immobilizer on-site through dealer-level access — no tow to the dealer. I verify ownership first (photo ID matched to your registration or proof of insurance), and if the documents are locked inside, I run the lockout first so you can reach them. All-keys-lost starts at €200 for most transponder and remote-head keys, or from €200 for a push-to-start smart key. A second key made the same visit costs less than coming back for it later — I put that number in your written quote.
Do you make keys for older cars and brand-new ones?
Yes — my come-to-you kit covers most makes across roughly 2000 to 2026, from an older edge-cut transponder to a current push-to-start proximity smart key. Same deal either way: I come to your car, cut and program on-site, and text you the price first. A few of the very newest high-security platforms add an extra programming layer that's case-by-case, so send me your year, make, and model and I'll confirm yours before I dispatch.
