Mobile auto locksmith in Ashton-under-Lyne
Ashton-under-Lyne is the main town of Tameside and one of the better connected places on our patch, which is both why cars collect here and why keys go missing. The Metrolink terminates at Ashton with further stops at Ashton West and Ashton Moss, the National Rail station is on the line to Huddersfield, and junction 23 of the M60 is on the edge of town. Ashton Moss park and ride is a large open site and a regular call-out for us for exactly the reason you would expect: the car sits there all day and you come back to it in the evening.
The other side of Ashton is retail. IKEA, the Snipe Retail Park and the Arcades in the centre draw people in from the whole of east Manchester, and a car locked with the keys inside at a retail park on a Saturday is one of the commonest jobs we do anywhere. Away from that, OL6 and OL7 are terraced streets at Hurst, Waterloo, Smallshaw and Ryecroft where everything is parked on the road. All of it is worked at the kerb, and the price is agreed before we set off.

Common questions
Things people in Ashton-under-Lyne tend to ask before booking.
I have locked my keys in the car at the Snipe or IKEA. How quickly can you get to me?
It depends on where the van is when you ring and what is booked in, and we will give you a real arrival window rather than a guess. Both car parks are open surface parking, which is straightforward for us. We open cars using non-destructive entry, so nothing is drilled or forced, and we check your ID against the vehicle before opening it.
My car is at Ashton Moss park and ride and the key will not work. Can you come there?
Yes, it is one of our regular call-outs. Tell us the registration and roughly which row the car is in. If the fob has simply died we can often fix it on the spot; if the key has failed or gone missing we cut and programme a replacement at the vehicle, and on most cars we can erase the old key at the same time.
