We’re based at Unit 3, 32 Liverpool Road East in Kidsgrove — that’s home, and it’s where our fastest response times are. From there the van covers the towns below, 24 hours a day, with an honest ETA quoted on the phone every time.
Kidsgrove, Butt Lane, Newchapel, The Rookery, Harriseahead and Mow Cop are minutes from the unit — often 15 minutes or less when we’re free. There’s no separate page for Kidsgrove because this whole site is the Kidsgrove page: it’s where we’re from.
Match what the car is doing. These aren’t diagnoses — they’re where we’d look first.
That’s an all-keys-lost job — see car key replacement. Different process from making a spare, which is why it’s priced differently.
That’s vehicle entry — usually the quickest and cheapest fix on this site.
The immobiliser side of the key is fine; the remote side isn’t. Often a fob repair — a useful first check is the battery, fitted the right way up.
The reverse problem — the remote transmits but the immobiliser isn’t recognising the key. That may point to key recognition or a vehicle-side fault; the pattern of what still works tells us a lot on the phone.
Common on keyless cars — can be the fob battery, the key itself, or the car’s antenna system. Start with fob diagnosis.
May point to key wear, the barrel, or steering pressure against the lock — try your spare, rock the wheel gently, then see ignition repair.
The easy one: spare keys from £70 — and the best money you’ll spend on this list.
Electronic steering locks fail with age on keyless cars — see steering lock repair. A low car battery can mimic it, which is the first thing we rule out.
Deadlocks, slamlocks and hook locks — matched to how the van is used: van security.
Ring anyway. If you’re on the edge of the patch we’ll tell you straight whether we can get to you quickly — and if we can’t, we’d rather say so than keep you waiting. 07436 636367, any hour.
