Need Help Right Now? Do This First
If you are locked out, stranded, or dealing with a car key emergency, start with the basics. Staying safe and giving the right details will help the locksmith reach you faster and arrive prepared.
Move somewhere safe if you need to. If you are near a busy road, in a dark car park, or somewhere that feels unsafe, move to a safer nearby spot before making the call.
Call and explain the problem clearly. Tell us whether your keys are locked inside the car, lost, stolen, broken, stuck in the ignition, or whether your remote fob has stopped working.
Share your exact location. A postcode, street name, car park name, or map pin can help us find you faster.
Give your vehicle details. We may ask for the make, model, year, and registration number so the technician can prepare the right tools, key blanks, or programming equipment.
Confirm the ETA and likely cost before dispatch. Before we send a mobile auto locksmith, we will confirm the expected response time and provide a clear quote based on the issue, vehicle, and location.

Call 999 immediately if a child, vulnerable person, or pet is locked inside the vehicle and there is any risk of distress, heat, cold, breathing difficulty, or immediate danger.
