— Google reviewThe Person Who Answers the Phone Is the Person Who Turns Up
I'm Craig Evans. While I was serving in the Army I lost my car keys and paid an extortionate price to get back on the road — and I never forgot how that felt. When I left the forces, I trained as an auto locksmith to be the honest version of that trade: upfront prices, no pressure, and the job done properly first time.
I work alone — no call centres, no subcontractors — so the person who quotes your job is the person who turns up and does it. That's why most of my Google reviews mention me by name. Whether it's a lockout at 3am or a spare key on a Sunday, you're dealing with me from the first call to the finished key.

What It Costs — Before I Set Off
I confirm the full price on the phone before travelling. No call-out charge, no VAT on top, and typically saving you more than half compared with a main dealer for the same key.
Car Keys for Most Makes on UK Roads
These are the makes I cut and program keys for most often. If your vehicle make is not listed, call me and I'll confirm straight away whether I can help and what it will cost.
One honest exception: for Jaguar I offer gain entry only, not key programming — I'd rather tell you that now than on your driveway.
Covering Liverpool, Merseyside, Wirral & Beyond
From my base in Speke, gain entry typically reaches you within about 30 minutes; key programming within the hour. These are my most-requested areas — I cover 30+ in total (full list in the Areas menu).

Craig the locksmith is a gem. My wife has only one car key and it wouldn’t open or start her car. We fitted a new battery and it still never worked so I called Craig and he was more than willing to call out but told me to try something first. I done what he told me to do and not only did I get in the car and start it but the remote started working again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you cover Liverpool 24/7?
Yes — genuinely. I take emergency calls day and night across Liverpool, Merseyside, Wirral, Widnes and Runcorn, and gain-entry callouts typically reach you in about 30 minutes.
Can you make a car key if I've lost every key?
Yes. Working from the vehicle's VIN and authorised security data, I can cut and program a brand-new key at your location, and remove the lost keys from the immobiliser memory so they can no longer start the engine.
How much does an auto locksmith cost in Liverpool?
Gain entry starts from £85 and replacement keys from £120 to £600+ depending on the vehicle. I confirm the exact price on the phone before I travel — no call-out fee, no VAT.
How long does a replacement key take?
Most keys are cut, programmed and tested at the roadside within 30–60 minutes. Occasionally a rare key needs ordering — one recent VW key had to come from VW in Germany — and I'll tell you upfront if yours is one.
Will you damage my car getting in?
No. Every entry uses controlled, non-destructive techniques designed to protect the vehicle's paint, glass and locking system.
Why call you instead of the dealer?
Speed and price. Dealers usually want the car recovered to them and days of waiting; I come to you, often the same day, typically saving you more than half of dealer prices.
Call 07731 544220 and Speak to Me Directly
No call centre, no callback queue. If it's not urgent, send the quote form and I'll come back to you within the hour with an exact price.
