Broken Key Extraction in Manchester, Stockport & Cheshire
Key snapped off in the lock or ignition? We get the piece out and cut you a new key.
- No call-out fee
- We come to you
- 7 days a week, 7am to 11pm
If a key has snapped in the door, the boot or the ignition, please do not try to pull the piece out with pliers, glue or a screwdriver, as that pushes it further in and can damage the lock. We come to your car and remove it cleanly.
We work across Greater Manchester and north Cheshire from our base in Hale, Altrincham, at the roadside, at home, at work or in a car park. When you call you speak to the person who comes out, not a call centre.
