Mobile auto locksmith in Formby
Formby has two beach car parks, Victoria Road and Lifeboat Road, and they are on separate lanes with no road between them. That is the single most important thing to say when you ring, because arriving at the wrong one means going all the way back out to the bypass and in again. Both fill with visitors to the pinewoods and the dunes in every season.
Sand, wind and pockets do not mix well with car keys, so a good share of our L37 work is all-keys-lost jobs done in one of those two car parks: we confirm the car is yours and cut and code a replacement at the vehicle rather than having it recovered off a sandy lane. Away from the coast, the village centre and the two stations at Formby and Freshfield take the everyday parking, and our coverage runs on to Little and Great Altcar, Hightown and Woodvale.

Things people in Formby tend to ask before booking.
I have lost my key at the beach in Formby. Which car park do you need to know?
Tell us whether you are at Victoria Road or Lifeboat Road, because they are on separate lanes with no connection between them and going to the wrong one costs a lot of time. Then bring photo ID and the V5 or other proof of ownership and we will cut and programme a new key at the car.
Do you cover Freshfield and Hightown as well as Formby?
Yes, along with Little Altcar, Great Altcar and Woodvale. The whole of L37 is our patch, including both stations. Give us the road name and postcode when you call and we will price the job before we set off.
