Working across Merseyside
Merseyside is a city region with a coast, and the two halves ask different things of a mobile locksmith. Liverpool itself is dense, one-way and short of kerb space, with multi-storey car parks around Liverpool ONE, the waterfront and Lime Street, and match days at Anfield that close streets for hours. Out along the M62 and M57 you get Huyton, Prescot and Kirkby, and beyond the M6 at Haydock the towns of St Helens and Newton-le-Willows, where most jobs are on driveways, in work car parks or on the industrial estates.
The coast runs from Bootle and Crosby up through Formby to Southport, and it is seasonal. Southport's Lord Street and the promenade car parks, the beach and pinewoods at Formby and the sands at Crosby all fill with visitors on a fine weekend, and a key lost on a beach is gone for good, so the job is a full replacement cut and programmed at the car. Across the water, Birkenhead and Wallasey sit at the Wirral end of the Queensway and Kingsway tunnels, and we cover both. Merseyrail's Northern and Wirral lines mean plenty of cars are left at stations such as Maghull, Formby and Southport for the day.
Postcodes are mostly L, from the city centre out to Kirkby, Maghull, Crosby and Formby. Southport is PR, St Helens, Haydock and Newton-le-Willows are WA, and Birkenhead and Wallasey are CH. The letters do not change the service. We come to the car with the cutting and programming kit on board, check photo ID and proof of ownership, and agree the price before setting off. Pick your town from the list below for the local detail, and if yours is missing or you are between two of them, call with the registration and we will sort it from there.

Common questions
Things people in Merseyside tend to ask before booking.
Do you cover the Wirral?
We cover Birkenhead and Wallasey, which each have their own page. If you are elsewhere on the Wirral, call with the postcode and we will tell you straight away whether we can take the job, rather than leaving you waiting.
I have lost my car keys on the beach at Formby or Southport. What happens?
Treat it as all keys lost. Call with the registration and where the car is parked, and we will quote for a replacement key cut and programmed at the car park. Bring photo ID and something that proves the car is yours, such as the V5C or an insurance document on your phone, because we check both before making a key.
