Auto Locksmith Marple – Car Keys, Diagnostics & Remapping

SK6 is the eastern edge of Stockport, and it is two different places. Bredbury and Woodley sit on the M60 with industrial units and commuter traffic. Marple, Marple Bridge, Romiley and Compstall climb towards the Peak District, with canal towpaths, country parks and steep streets. This one page covers all of it. Autobahn attends anywhere in SK6, 24/7, with the price confirmed before we set off.

One postcode, two kinds of call

Around Bredbury, close to junction 25 of the M60, the work is mostly vans and commuter cars: keys locked in at a unit, a work vehicle that will not start, a car that needs a spare.

Further east the calls change. Marple is where the Peak Forest and Macclesfield canals meet, and between the locks, Etherow Country Park at Compstall and the walks around Mellor and Chadkirk, a lot of cars are left in visitor car parks while their owners are out walking. Keys lost on a walk are a regular call here.

Many of the older stone terraces in Marple Bridge and Romiley have no driveway, so cars are parked on steep or narrow streets. That affects where a vehicle can safely be worked on, and it is worth mentioning when you call.

Lost your keys on a walk? What to check before calling

The first question is whether the keys are really lost or just not with you. Walkers often hand keys to someone else in the group, leave them in a rucksack pocket or put them down when stopping for a break. Five minutes checking saves an unnecessary call.

If they are gone, check whether a spare exists at home and whether someone can bring it. A spare that is half an hour away is often the quickest and cheapest answer, and we will tell you that.

If there is no spare, or no way of getting it to you, call with the registration and which car park you are in. Country-park car parks can have closing times and patchy phone signal, so tell us both. Whether we make a new key on the spot depends on the make and key type, and we will confirm that, and the price, before we travel.

  1. Check every bag, pocket and person in your group.
  2. Find out whether a spare key could be brought to you.
  3. Note the car park name and any closing time.
  4. Call with the registration from somewhere with signal.

Before you call from Marple
