Prescot at a Glance
Car Key and Lockout Cover Across Prescot
Prescot is the town in Knowsley, Merseyside, about 8 miles east of Liverpool city centre, in postcode L34. The A57 and the A58 pass through the town and junction 2 of the M57 serves it, with Whiston and Rainhill to the south and Eccleston Park to the east.
Most Prescot callouts come from a driveway or from a car park, at Cables Retail Park, at the Shakespeare North Playhouse, at Prescot station or at Whiston Hospital. Prescot lies about 9 miles from the ADC base in Speke, by the Knowsley Expressway and the M57. The postcode and the exact spot let Craig give a true arrival time on the call.
The common Prescot jobs are a car locked with the keys inside, a lost, stolen or broken car key, a spare key, key programming, key cutting and a key fob that no longer works. ADC is a 24/7 mobile auto locksmith, so the cutting, programming and diagnostic equipment travels to the vehicle, the driver stays with the car and no recovery to a main dealer is booked. A vehicle that requires a dealer or another specialist is identified on the call.
