    What does a Car Locksmith do?

    Just like a regular locksmith, a car locksmith deals with locks and keys. However, their expertise revolves around the keys and locks found on vehicles.
    Also known as an auto locksmith, their services will include creating spare keys, repairing damaged locks, and opening locked vehicles. When necessary, they’re usually available to come out to wherever you are, since it’s likely that you aren’t able to travel if you’ve misplaced or damaged your vehicle’s keys.

    How do I find a reliable Car Locksmith?

    As with any service you pay for, you want to know that you’re getting a good quality of service when you hire a car locksmith.
    So while finding any car locksmith is easy, and will probably just require a quick search online to find one near to you, it’s usually worthwhile spending an extra 10 minutes finding one who ticks all of the right boxes

    Why should I pay for a Car Locksmith?

    When you’ve found that you’ve lost or damaged your keys, or even just locked them inside your car, the chances are that you’re going to have to get some sort of help.
    And while you have several options, nine time out of ten, a car locksmith will be your best bet.

    Other options available to you are:

    • Roadside assistance – with no guarantee that they’ll even be able to help, you’ll almost certainly be in for a lengthy wait before they can get to you.
    • Car Insurance – some car insurance policies will cover you for loss or damage to your keys, but not all. And even if it does, it’s likely to take a while to get your claim through, and it’s likely to affect your no claims bonus.
    • Local garage – a local garage is likely to be able to help, but it’s possible that this will require towing your vehicle to their garage, which will add to the cost, plus the use of their equipment will contribute too.
    • Vehicle dealership – it’s possible that the dealership that you bought the car from can help you with a spare key, but this can be expensive. In many cases, they’ll just hire an auto locksmith themselves.
