Auto Locksmith in Torquay Working at the Car
An auto locksmith in Torquay works at the car, so the DB Car Keys van carries the key cutter, blank keys and the coding tools, and the price is agreed before the drive. Google Maps times the 38 mile run from High Street, Honiton, on the A30 and the A380 at 49 minutes, so most Torquay cars can be reached in 50 to 70 minutes.
The A380 brings the van into Torquay from the north, and the A379 and A3022 carry it on to Babbacombe, Shiphay and Paignton. Lockouts come most often from the Beacon Quay, Harbour and Meadfoot Beach car parks and the seafront, while the estates in TQ2 bring spare keys and coding.
When the last key has gone in Torquay, car key replacement is done on the street, and the missing key is wiped from the car memory so it can no longer start the engine. A 30 day guarantee covers lost car key coding at the car in Torquay.
Nothing is added for the call out or the miles from Honiton, and with the cutter, the blanks and the coding tools on board, one visit finishes the job.
Ownership is checked before a key is cut, so these five things speed up the job in Torquay.
Torquay Locksmith for Every TQ1 and TQ2 Street
Torquay locksmith calls for cars come from every TQ1 and TQ2 street, with summer lockouts by the sea and spare keys and coding on the estates all year. The six areas below bring most of them.

Shiphay, Barton and Hele
Shiphay lies 3.1 miles and 11 minutes inland on the A3022, and with Barton, Hele and Watcombe it brings steady work all year, mostly spare keys and coding for drivers down to one key.
Paignton and Goodrington
Paignton is 3.3 miles and 12 minutes from Torquay harbour along Torbay Road, so lockouts and lost keys in TQ3 and TQ4 are covered on the same terms.

Why Torquay Drivers Choose DB Car Keys

Price Fixed Before the Drive
The price given on the phone is the price paid, with nothing added on arrival and nothing for the call out.
Coding Tools for Most Makes

Locks and Seals Left Undamaged

102 Five Star Reviews
The 102 Google reviews on the site come from drivers across Devon, Dorset and Somerset after lockouts, new keys and remote repairs.
Compared With a Main Dealer
A dealer and DB Car Keys both make a coded key, but a dealer needs the car in its workshop, so it is towed in and kept for days. A spare remote for a Ford or Vauxhall costs £150 to £350 there and £80 to £180 at the car.
