Professional vehicle access
Vehicle Entry Service
Can't get into your car or van? Immediate Access provides professional mobile vehicle-entry assistance across Southampton and surrounding Hampshire areas.
Professional Vehicle Entry
Vehicle entry covers any legitimate situation where the owner or an authorised driver needs to get into a vehicle but can't. Keys locked inside is the most familiar example, but it's far from the only one.
Our approach is the same in every case: confirm the situation and your authority to access the vehicle, then use professional entry methods suitable for that particular vehicle, aiming to avoid damage wherever possible.
Car lockouts
From small hatchbacks to family SUVs, we help drivers regain access to many cars.
Van lockouts
For tradespeople, tools and stock are often inside. We help regain access to many commercial vans — see also van keys.
Keys inside the vehicle
If your keys are locked in the cabin or boot, our dedicated keys locked in car page explains what to do.
Faulty or damaged keys
Sometimes the key is with you but won't open the doors — a dead fob, a worn blade or a snapped key. We can help with access and then sort the key. See broken car keys.
Other Situations Where Access Is Needed
We also help when keys have been lost and the car is locked, when a key has broken in the door lock, or when a vehicle's remote locking has failed. In many cases, entry is the first step before a replacement key or lost-key replacement is made.
Vehicle & Manufacturer Differences
Every manufacturer approaches locking and security differently, and systems change between models and years. Some vehicles have deadlocks, some have frameless windows, and many have alarm and immobiliser systems that need careful handling.
That's why we ask for the make, model and year when you call — it lets us plan the right approach and give you an accurate quote.
Mobile Service
We come to the vehicle at home, at work, in a car park or at the roadside. You don't need to arrange recovery, and if the key also needs attention we can usually deal with that during the same visit where suitable.
Information We'll Need
- Vehicle registration, make, model and approximate year
- The vehicle's location
- What's happened — keys inside, key lost, key broken or fob failed
- Whether you have any key for the vehicle
Before any entry or key work, we may need proof of ownership or that you're authorised to access the vehicle. Please have suitable documents to hand if you can.

Vehicle Entry FAQs
What is a vehicle entry service?
It's professional help for owners or authorised drivers who can't get into their vehicle — because keys are inside, lost, broken, or the remote locking has failed.
How is this different from keys locked in car?
Keys locked in car is one type of vehicle entry. This service also covers lost keys, broken keys and failed fobs where access is needed.
Can you get into my car if my key fob has died?
Often, yes. We can help with access and then look at whether the fob needs a battery, repair or replacement.
Do you work on vans?
Yes, we provide entry for many commercial vans as well as cars.
Will you damage my vehicle?
We use professional non-destructive methods where suitable for the vehicle and take care to minimise risk.
Do I need to prove ownership?
We may ask for proof of ownership or authority to access the vehicle before carrying out work.
What affects the cost?
The vehicle, its security system, the situation and your location. Call for a quote.
