Auto Locksmith Wembury
PL9 0 · South-East Plymouth, Plymouth · Mobile service to your exact location
Wembury is a beautiful coastal village on the south-eastern edge of Plymouth, sitting on the cliffs above Wembury Bay and the Great Mewstone rock. Part of the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and home to one of Devon's most popular National Trust beaches, Wembury attracts visitors from across Plymouth and beyond throughout the year. Its position on a remote coastal headland means that a car key problem here — particularly in the beach car park or the cliff-top lanes — demands a fast, mobile response. I can be with you from Honiton in around 48 minutes.
Mobile Auto Locksmith Wembury
I'm Dean — a specialist mobile auto locksmith based in Honiton, around 48 minutes from Wembury via the A38 and the Plymstock approach. Wembury is one of my more scenic callout destinations — and one where being stranded matters most. The village is at the end of a narrow road network, public transport is limited, and mobile signal can be patchy. A fast mobile locksmith who can reach you at the beach car park, the village car park or the cliff lanes is exactly what's needed. Whether you've lost your car keys or locked them inside, I carry AUTEL and Xhorse professional equipment for all makes.
Wembury Beach is managed by the National Trust and is one of south Devon's finest beaches, known for its rock pools, the Great Mewstone offshore and the stunning views across Plymouth Sound. The beach car park at the end of Wembury Road is the single most common callout location in the village — visitors parking up for a beach day and returning to find a key problem are a regular occurrence, especially in summer. I know the car park layout and the approach roads well.
Wembury's wider parish extends to the Heybrook Bay and Thorn area, and the coastal footpath connecting to Plymstock and the Bovisand area is popular with walkers year round. The Plympton approach via Elburton Road is the fastest route and the one I use. For more on what a locksmith callout costs, see our car locksmith cost guide.
