Auto locksmith in Skipton

Skipton is the gateway to the Dales, and its car parks fill with people who are on their way somewhere else. Walkers head out to Bolton Abbey, Grassington and Malham from the BD23 villages and come back to a car whose key fell out of a rucksack pocket on a fell path. Losing every key is exactly the situation we are set up for: we come to the car park, make a new key from the vehicle itself, programme it, and you drive home instead of waiting for a recovery truck to take the car to a garage you do not know.

The town itself is a working market town with a canal basin, a castle and an auction mart, and Skipton station is the end of the electric line from Leeds and Bradford, so the station car park holds commuters' cars from first light until the evening trains come in. A spare key cut before you need it is the cheap fix. If you have only one key left, we can programme a second one at your home in Embsay or Carleton, or at the car wherever it happens to be parked.

We check photo ID and proof of ownership before starting any key work, and the price is agreed before we leave, not on arrival. Most jobs are finished at the car in one visit, including remote and transponder programming for cars that were sold with a single key. If a fob has stopped responding rather than gone missing, tell us that when you call, because a repair or a new case is usually the cheaper answer.
