The Smart Way to Replace Car Keys in Manchester
Losing your car keys in Manchester City Centre is a nightmare. Tow trucks often can’t fit into the NCP car parks, and main dealers on Chester Road have waiting lists of up to 2 weeks.
Key Trouble is the solution. We are a fully mobile auto locksmith service covering every postcode from M1 to M50. Because our vans are equipped with the latest cutting and coding technology, we bring the workshop to you.
Whether you are parked on the top floor of the Arndale Centre, stuck in a bay in the Northern Quarter, or on your driveway in Didsbury, we can cut and program a new key on the spot.

Lost your keys while shopping at the Arndale or on a night out in the Northern Quarter? We can enter your vehicle damage-free, cut a new blade, and program the transponder chip to your engine right in the multi-story car park. We can even delete the old keys so your car stays safe.
