Colchester, Essex
Mobile car locksmith in Colchester
Colchester is one of the busiest parts of my patch. From Stanway and Tollgate to Highwoods, Greenstead and out towards Wivenhoe, I come to the car with everything needed to get you moving again.
Areas of Colchester I cover
I cover the whole of Colchester and the villages around it, including Lexden, Prettygate, Shrub End, Stanway, Highwoods, Mile End, Myland, Greenstead, Old Heath, Berechurch, Monkwick and the Hythe. Just outside town, I also cover Wivenhoe, Rowhedge, Marks Tey, Tiptree, West Mersea, Dedham, Great Horkesley and the villages along the A12 and A120.
Colchester is a big, spread-out town with a lot of new housing on the edges, so plenty of my call-outs are to estate driveways. Others are to retail and work car parks around Tollgate and the Northern Gateway, the hospital and the university area, or to the roadside on the A12 and A133.
Students, commuters and military families
Colchester has a large student population around the university, lots of rail commuters using the stations, and families connected to the garrison. Many people here buy second-hand cars with only one key. If that’s you, a spare key now is far cheaper and quicker than an all keys lost job later. If you’re about to move away, sorting a spare before you go saves trying to find a locksmith somewhere new.

Station and town centre car parks
Town centre and station car parks are often busy and have time limits. If you’re locked out or have lost the key in one, tell me which car park and roughly where the car is when you call. It helps me find it quickly, and it’s worth letting the car park operator know your car may be there a bit longer.
