Mobile auto locksmith in Rochdale
Rochdale is our home town, so this is the page we can be most specific about. The van is based in OL11 and the town is where most days start and end. The centre changed shape when the Roch was uncovered in front of the town hall and Rochdale Riverside went up beside the Exchange, and the two places cars now sit all day are the Riverside decks and the Interchange. Out from there the town is a ring of estates on hills: Norden and Bamford to the west, Castleton and Sudden down the Manchester road, Kirkholt and Balderstone to the south, Spotland, Syke and Healey climbing north, and Smallbridge and Wardle out towards the moor.
Two things generate most of the calls here. Kingsway Business Park off the M62 at junction 21 runs shifts, so a car can be parked there from six in the morning until long after dark, and a key that fails at the end of a shift is a call at an awkward hour rather than a trip to a garage. The other is the Metrolink. The tram line from Rochdale Railway Station and Rochdale Town Centre through Newbold and Kingsway means a lot of people leave the car near a stop and travel on, and come back to a fob that has stopped talking to the car. Both are jobs we do where the car stands, and both are quicker than a recovery truck to a dealer.

Common questions
Things people in Rochdale tend to ask before booking.
I work shifts at Kingsway Business Park and my key has stopped working. Can you come out there?
Yes, and Kingsway is one of the easier places for us to work: open surface parking outside the units and no height barriers. Tell us the unit or company name and the registration. If the car is inside a fenced yard, let the gatehouse know we are coming so we are not held at the barrier. Shift patterns are not a problem, but tell us the time you finish so we can be there for it rather than after it.
My car is parked at Rochdale Riverside and I cannot get in. Is a multi-storey a problem?
No, but the height restriction decides how we do it. Our van is taller than a car, so if the barrier is too low we work from the nearest level we can reach or bring what we need to your car on foot. Tell us which level you are on when you call. We open cars using non-destructive entry, so the door, lock and paintwork are left exactly as they were.
Do you cover Norden, Bamford and Castleton as well as the town centre?
All of them, along with the rest of OL11, OL12 and OL16. Rochdale is our home town and the whole borough is on the doorstep, including Wardle and Smallbridge out towards the moor and Castleton down the A664. Give us the street and postcode when you call and we will price the job before setting off.
