Mobile auto locksmith in Widnes

Widnes sits on the north bank of the Mersey with two crossings to Runcorn, the Silver Jubilee Bridge and the Mersey Gateway, both tolled by camera rather than barrier. The old chemical works along the river have given way to the Waterfront and The Hive leisure park, with Halton Stadium, Widnes Shopping Park and Green Oaks bringing cars into the centre all week. A lockout in a leisure park car park after a film, or a lost key at a match, is the kind of job we finish at the car without any damage to the lock.

Our coverage takes in the whole WA8 postcode district: Ditton, Hough Green, Farnworth, Upton Rocks, Cronton, Halebank and Moss Bank. Widnes and Hough Green stations sit on the line between Liverpool and Manchester, and the Ditton side of town has industrial estates full of vans and company cars. If you drive a vehicle for work and there is only one key for it, we can cut and programme a second at your yard or on your drive, so that a lost key becomes an inconvenience rather than a lost day.

Common questions

Things people in Widnes tend to ask before booking.

I am locked out at The Hive in Widnes. Can you open the car without damaging it?

Yes. Non-destructive entry is what we do first, and it leaves no mark on the door or lock. Tell us where in the Waterfront car parks the car is and what make and model it is. If the key is inside, you are back on the road once the door is open. If it is lost, we programme a new one there and then.

My key went missing on the train and my car is at Widnes station. Can you meet me there?

We can. Widnes station car park is within our WA8 coverage. Give us the registration when you call and bring photo ID and something that shows the car is yours, such as the V5C or an insurance document on your phone. We cut and programme the replacement at the car and remove the lost key from the vehicle's memory where the model allows it.
