We help people from Bristol and Surrounding areas with their vehicles including Volkswagen, Seat, Audi, Skoda MQB systems as well as Mercedes Ignitions and Steering locks & much more.

Many VW, Audi, SEAT, and Škoda models use MQB systems. When all keys are lost, gaining access and programming a key can be more involved than standard diagnostics.

Depending on the model, access may be needed to specific modules, like the gearbox, ECU or dashboard, to retrieve the data needed to produce and program a key. At Avon Auto Locksmith, we have specialist equipment for advanced MQB key work, done directly at the vehicle.

Many Mercedes models use an electronic ignition switch (EIS) and an electronic steering lock (ESL) as part of the vehicle’s security system. When these components fail, the key may stop responding, the steering can remain locked, or the vehicle may not start. We provide mobile diagnosis and repair wherever possible.

Depending on the fault, we can remove and replace failed steering lock units, program compatible ESL emulator where appropriate, or clone a faulty EIS onto a replacement module. Our aim is to restore your vehicle’s security system correctly and get you back on the road without unnecessary dealer costs.
