Working across Greater Manchester

Greater Manchester is our home county and Rochdale is our home town, so this is where the van starts and finishes most days. The county is ten boroughs stitched together by the M60 orbital, with the M62 running across the north through Rochdale and Bury, the M61 heading out to Bolton, the M66 dropping into Bury and the M56 serving Wythenshawe and the airport. Wherever you are stuck between Wigan in the west and Stalybridge in the east, the same one-man mobile service applies: we come to the car, we agree the price before we set off, and we finish the work where the car stands.

The postcodes show how spread out the county is. Rochdale, Oldham and Heywood are OL, while Bury and Bolton are BL. Manchester and Salford are M, along with most of the inner suburbs. Stockport, Hyde and Marple are SK. Wigan and Leigh are WN, and Altrincham and Hale fall into WA. We work across all of them. Metrolink makes a difference too: the lines to Rochdale, Bury, Altrincham, Ashton-under-Lyne and Eccles mean a lot of people leave the car at a tram stop or park and ride all day, then come back to a key that will not turn or a fob that has died.

Every town has its own page with the roads, stations and car parks that matter there, so pick yours from the list below. If you are somewhere between two of them, the boroughs overlap and it does not matter which page you land on. Trafford Park, the Trafford Centre, the city centre multi-storeys and the retail parks at Middlebrook in Horwich and Crown Point in Denton are all covered in the normal way. Call with the registration and where the car is and we will tell you what the key needs and what it will cost before we move.

The kind of jobs we do across Greater Manchester

We come to the car

Driveway, work car park, station or roadside. No recovery truck and no trip to a dealer.

Price agreed upfront

Send the registration and we quote before we set off. The price does not change when we arrive.

SERMI certified

Accredited to access manufacturer security data, so we can work on newer vehicles the right way.

Open 24 hours

Lockouts and lost keys do not keep office hours. Call any time, any day.

Fully insured

Proper tools, non-destructive entry and insurance behind every job.

Repair before replace

If a new case or blade will fix it, that is what we recommend. A new key is only sold when it is needed.

Common questions

Things people in Greater Manchester tend to ask before booking.

Do you cover the whole of Greater Manchester or just the Rochdale side?

All ten boroughs. Rochdale is our home town, but the van works right across the county, from Wigan and Bolton in the west to Stockport and Stalybridge in the east, and into Manchester and Salford. Every town on this page has its own page with the local roads and car parks.

Can you get to me at a Metrolink stop or park and ride?

Yes. Tell us which stop and where the car is parked. Park and ride sites are straightforward to find and work in. If the car is in a multi-storey, let us know which level and whether there is a height barrier, since the van is taller than a car.
