Mobile auto locksmith in Southport
Southport is a resort first and a commuter town second, and both bring in cars that sit for a long time. The seafront from Ocean Plaza along Marine Drive to Pleasureland fills with day visitors, the pier and Lord Street draw people who park once and walk, and the Air Show and the Flower Show fill every car park in PR8 and PR9. A key dropped on the sand at Ainsdale or left in a cafe on Lord Street belongs to a visitor with no spare, and that visitor needs a replacement made where the car stands.
Away from the front, Birkdale, Hillside and Ainsdale on the Merseyrail line into Liverpool have station car parks that empty at seven and refill at six, while Churchtown, Marshside and Crossens on the PR9 side are mostly residential streets with cars on drives. The hospital on Town Lane in Kew and the Central 12 retail park are the other places where a car is left for a full shift or a full afternoon. We cover all of it from one van, working at the car rather than towing it anywhere.
For visitors, the important things are the ones we always check: photo ID and proof that the car is yours, which can be the V5C or your insurance documents. Once that is done we can cut and programme a key, delete a lost one from the car, repair a snapped blade or reopen a car locked with the key inside, and you know the price before the van leaves.

Things people in Southport tend to ask before booking.
I am visiting Southport for the day and have lost my only car key on the front. Can you make one so I can drive home?
Yes, provided you can show photo ID and proof that the car is yours, such as the V5C or an insurance document on your phone. We cut and programme a new key at the car, delete the lost key so it no longer starts the engine, and you drive home rather than waiting for recovery to a garage you do not know.
Will you come to the beach car park at Ainsdale?
Yes. Tell us whether the car is on the hard standing by the entrance or out on the sand itself, because the van stays on solid ground and we carry the kit across if we need to. Give us the registration and a rough position along the beach, and keep your phone with you so we can find you.
