How to get a price for auto locksmith in Solihull.
Get the price before they set off
- It depends on the car, the key and the time of day, so most local locksmiths don’t publish prices.

- Where a locksmith publishes their own prices, we show them on their card, and on their profile with a link to their page.
Auto locksmiths in Solihull: what they fix and how fast
Most of what goes wrong with car keys and locks can be fixed without the car going anywhere. A mobile auto locksmith opens locked cars, cuts and programs keys, keyless smart keys included, repairs fobs whose buttons have worn through, and frees or replaces ignition barrels that won’t turn. On newer cars with proximity keys, the locksmith reads the car’s security data with a diagnostic tool before a key can be added, which is why the make, model and year are the first things they ask.
Solihull is one of the quieter places we cover for car crime. Police recorded 131 vehicle crimes within a mile of the town centre in the year to August 2026 (data.police.uk), below the average of 193 across the eight Solihull places we cover and 78th of the 91 West Midlands places on our list. Keyless cars are still taken by relay theft, so keep smart keys in a signal-blocking pouch at home, and if one goes missing, ask the locksmith to delete it from the car when they program its replacement.
Locksmiths who work in B91 and B92 tend to cover Olton and Shirley too, both about 2 miles away and roughly 5 to 10 minutes by road, and many go on to Knowle and Dorridge. If you are stuck at the NEC, Birmingham Airport or Resorts World, a few miles north-east of the town centre off junction 6 of the M42, give the car park name or number in your request; those sites have postcodes of their own, so the request reaches whoever covers them.
Searches for an auto locksmith in Solihull also turn up national call centres that pass the job to whoever is free and add their own fee. We screen those out, and every locksmith marked verified on Locksmith100 has shown us ID, insurance and a DBS certificate and passed a test call.
