    What is a car locksmith?

    A car locksmith, also known as an auto locksmith, is a professional who specialises in vehicle locks and keys. They usually provide the typical services that you might expect a general locksmith to provide, except for vehicle locks rather than those found in buildings.

    These services are designed to help you when you find that you’ve lost your keys, or they’re no longer working. This can either be your electronic key fob, or the physical key itself. They can usually come to any location, since keys aren’t only lost or damaged at home. Many car locksmiths will even offer a 24 hour service, so that you can get quick help whenever you need it.

    How do I hire a car locksmith?

    Finding a locksmith to help you when you’re having problems with your car keys is usually easy to do. A simple search online will likely turn up locksmiths who can help you out.

    But finding a reliable locksmith who can help you when you need them may take a little more effort.

    Some of the best tips for finding the perfect locksmith are:

    • Ask friends and family for a recommendation. If they’ve received good service from that locksmith, it’s likely that you will too.
    • Look locally. Locksmiths further afield are naturally more likely to take longer to get to you, meaning a longer delay getting your car open.
    • Check their certifications, and make sure that they’re licensed and qualified.
    • Check their reviews online, and see what other people thought of them.
    • Check if they have insurance
    • Check if they have 24 hour cover
