Locksmith List

Modern vehicles are complex machines. With the evolution of electronic keys, immobilizer systems, and smart ignition modules, locksmithing has become far more technical than simply cutting a new key. Each vehicle brand has unique components, security systems, and failure points. That’s why a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work.

No matter the make or model, most vehicle owners experience at least one of the following issues during the lifetime of their car: Key won’t turn in the ignition, Remote key fob not responding, Keys locked inside the car, Broken or worn-out ignition barrel, Lost or stolen car keys, ECU and immobilizer faults, Trunk or glovebox won’t open, Key stuck in ignition or door lock.

Our job is to solve these problems quickly and without causing any damage to your vehicle. For example, if your VW Polo has an ignition fault, our locksmiths know how to extract the barrel without damaging the steering column, saving you from unnecessary dealership costs.

Unlike dealers that require you to tow your vehicle to their service center, we bring our service to you. Roadrunner operates fully equipped mobile units throughout Cape Town and surrounds. Our locksmith vans are outfitted with advanced key-cutting machines, diagnostic tools, and immobilizer programming kits. No matter where you’re stuck—at home, at work, or on the side of the road—we arrive with everything we need to get you back on the road.
