Emergency Car Lockout Assistance in Wigan
Locked yourself out of your car? Don’t worry we can help. Don’t attempt to force the car open or break the window as this will just add to your repair costs. Call our friendly team on 01942 909027 and we can get an engineer to you as soon as possible. When you call we’ll just need to know the following information:
- The make and model of the vehicle
- Location of where the vehicle is parked (roadside, car park etc)
- Can you see the keys are inside the vehicle?
From this information we’ll be able to advise you on how we’ll gain entry to the vehicle (we’ll always aim to gain entry without damage where possible) and give you a price for the job. If there is a child or pet at risk in the vehicle please contact 999 first.
We aim to arrive within 25 to 45 minutes, this can vary slightly depending on your exact location in Wigan and engineer availability. We can attend to your car wherever it is, whether that’s by the side of the road, at work, in a car park or in your home driveway.
Lost or Stolen Car Key Replacement
Lost or stolen your car keys? In many cases we can cut and programme you a new key meaning there’s no need to get the car recovered to a garage to have a new key made.
To start off, we’ll need to know the following information:
- The make, model, year and registration of the vehicle
- Do you still have a working key?
- Were the keys lost or stolen?
When calling us, let us know if your key(s) have been stolen, as in some cases it may be possible to have these keys deactivated. This will depend on the type of vehicle. Please let us know as much detail as possible about the type of key you require as this will enable us to accurately quote for your work and advise on which types of key we can provide.
Our engineers will ask to see proof of vehicle ownership (for example, the V5C registration document) and validate the agreed price with you before commencing any work.
Spare Car Keys, Key Cutting and Programming
We offer a replacement and spare car key cutting and programming service where possible (not all vehicles/keys are catered for). It’s always best to get a spare key made before you loose your only key as it makes the whole process a lot easier!
Keys can vary from basic blade only keys to transponder chip keys, remote keys and full smart keys. Blade only keys just need cutting to suit the vehicles lock, transponder, remote and smart keys may also need programming to the vehicle's immobiliser/security system.
Got a key/remote that isn’t working? It could just need a new battery or re-syncing/programming back to the vehicle, it doesn’t always mean the key is faulty. Please call ahead to determine if we can supply and programme your key before we set out for some newer vehicles and smart keys.
