Car Locksmith in Wells and the Mendip Villages
A car locksmith in Wells and the Mendip villages has to bring the whole workshop, so the DB Car Keys van holds the key cutting machine, the blank keys and the coding equipment for lockouts, lost keys and failed remotes. Google Maps times the 50 mile run from High Street, Honiton, by the A303 and the A37, at 77 minutes. Most Wells calls can be reached in 80 to 100 minutes, and Dean gives the time when you ring.
The A39 comes into Wells from Glastonbury in the south, the A371 crosses the city between Shepton Mallet and Cheddar, and Strawberry Way carries traffic round the centre. Lockouts come most often from the Union Street and South Street car parks off the High Street and from Tucker Street and Princes Road by the bus station, and spare keys are cut on drives across BA5.
When the last key has gone in Wells, lost car key replacement happens beside the car, and the missing key is removed from the car memory so it can never start the engine. Calls for lost car keys replacement in Wells are answered 24 hours a day.
The figure is settled before the van leaves Honiton, with nothing added for the call out or the 50 miles. The cutting machine, the blanks and the coding equipment all travel in the van, so the job ends on one visit.
Ownership is checked before any key is cut, so having these five things ready saves time at the car in Wells.

The short stay car park on Union Street and the one on South Street sit just off the High Street and bring the most Wells lockouts, often a key left on a seat while the doors locked. Dean parks beside the car, and a daytime opening is £60 to £120.
Tucker Street and Princes Road
Tucker Street off Strawberry Way and Princes Road by the bus station are the long stay car parks, where cars sit all day and a lost key is often found missing at the end of it.

Wookey Hole lies 2.1 miles and 9 minutes north west of the Market Place, with Easton further along the A371, and both see lockouts and spare keys.
Shepton Mallet on the A371

Glastonbury and Street on the A39

Wells Auto Locksmith Against a Main Dealer
A Wells auto locksmith against a main dealer and a breakdown patrol comes down to where the key is made, how long the car stands idle and what the bill is.
| What the driver needs | DB Car Keys | Main dealer | Breakdown cover |
|---|---|---|---|
| New key made where the car is in Wells | Every time | Car moved to the dealer | Now and then |
| Price known before work starts | Fixed on the call | After an inspection | Depends on the policy |
| Nights, weekends and bank holidays | Yes, all year | Showroom hours | If the cover allows |
| No key left at all | Key made on the spot | Yes, at dealer prices | Rarely covered |
| Spare remote for a Ford or Vauxhall | £80 to £180 | £150 to £350 | Not a patrol job |
| Lockout opened without damage | On every lockout | Not a dealer job | Down to the patrol |
| Remote coded at the car | Yes, from the van | In the workshop | Seldom |
