Four steps take a Crewkerne driver from the call to a car that opens and starts, and the auto locksmith does every one at the car.

Ownership Checked, Job Done
The logbook and photo ID are looked at, then the car is opened, the key made and coded, or the immobiliser fault fixed on the spot.
Back on the Road
Most Crewkerne jobs are complete 30 to 60 minutes after Dean arrives, at the price quoted on the call.
Crewkerne Streets, Station and the TA18 Villages
Crewkerne streets, the station at Misterton and the TA18 villages are covered by the auto locksmith at any hour, with the A30 bringing the van straight to Market Square. The six areas below are where Crewkerne calls come from most.
Market Square, East Street and West Street

Crewkerne Station at Misterton

Merriott, Haselbury Plucknett and Hewish
Merriott to the north, Haselbury Plucknett to the north east and Hewish are quiet villages where spare keys, fob batteries and programming are done on the drive.

Auto Locksmith, Dealer or Patrol in Crewkerne
An auto locksmith, a dealer and a breakdown patrol in Crewkerne can all help with car keys and lockouts, and they differ in where the job is done, how long the car is out of use and the final bill.
| What the driver needs | DB Car Keys | Main dealer | Breakdown cover |
|---|---|---|---|
| Comes to the car in Crewkerne | Every call | The car is taken in | Mostly |
| Cost known in advance | Given on the phone | Quoted after inspection | Set by the policy |
| Help out of hours | Day and night | Opening hours only | If the cover allows |
| All keys lost | Key made on site | Yes, for more money | Rarely part of cover |
| Lost Ford or Vauxhall key | £150 to £220 | £250 to £400 or more | Not a patrol job |
| Lockout with no damage | Every time | Not a dealer job | Depends on the patrol |
| New fob coded by the car | Yes, from the van | At the dealer only | Rarely |
A Crewkerne driver with breakdown cover checks what the policy says about lockouts and lost keys, then compares the patrol wait with the 40 to 55 minutes DB Car Keys takes to reach TA18. A dealer makes keys only with the car on site, so a tow out of Crewkerne and days off the road add to the dealer price.
