Contact Car Locksmith Solihull

Call or message your car locksmith in Solihull

Call 07367 634032 to speak about your car key or car lock problem, or send a WhatsApp message to the same number. A message works well if you want to send a photo of the key, the fob, or the lock, or if you cannot talk freely where you are.

Both routes reach the same service. Say what has happened, and you will get a clear quote before any work starts. Nothing is booked and nothing is charged until you agree the quote.

What to tell us about your car when you call

Have these details ready when you call or message. They let us quote accurately and arrive ready for your car.

• What the car is: its make, model and year, so far as you know them
• The spot where the car stands: a street, a car park, or a landmark close by
• The trouble itself: a lockout, lost keys, a broken key, a dead fob, or a lock that has failed
• Whether a key still works at all, and whether the engine will turn over
• V5C logbook and photo ID to hand, when a fresh key is wanted
• A WhatsApp photo of the key or fob, when a picture shows the trouble better than words

Car key help at night and at weekends

Car keys fail at night, at weekends and on bank holidays, and the line stays open for all of them. Call or WhatsApp 07367 634032 at any hour, and you will get the same help: a clear quote on the call, a visit to your car, and a key tested with you before the visit ends.

A call after dark, at the weekend or on a bank holiday can sit dearer than a weekday daytime call, and that is named as a factor, never as a figure. The full figure is agreed before travel, never after, so the quote covers both the visit and the work. If the car is safe where it is, and you are safe where you are, waiting until morning is a reasonable option too, and the site does not pressure a night call.

What happens after you call your car locksmith

First, you describe the car and the problem, and you get a clear quote before anything is agreed. Then the locksmith travels to your car and carries out the work there. A new key is cut and programmed at the vehicle, and the key is tested with you before the visit ends.

For a replacement car key, proof of ownership is checked at the car: the V5C logbook and photo ID. When the car sits on finance or a lease, mention it when you ring, because the logbook may rest with the lender, and we will go through what can stand in its place.

The proof of ownership for car keys page explains the documents in full, the how car locksmith prices work page explains how quotes are worked out, and the emergency car locksmith in Solihull page covers lockouts day and night.
