18 Years Established • Turnkey Operation • Fully Equipped • Ready to Trade

Typical jobs include:
Replacement car and van keys
Lost or stolen key replacement

Key cutting and programming
Lock and key repairs
A wide variety of makes and models
You are also able to choose your own working days and hours, making this an ideal opportunity for someone looking to become their own boss and build a business around their preferred lifestyle.
FULLY EQUIPPED MOBILE WORKSHOP
The business operates from a 2021 Renault Trafic LWB workshop van, purchased new in 2021, serviced and maintained regardless of cost and is equipped and stocked as a professional mobile auto locksmith workshop.
The business is based in Cheshire and covers: North Wales, Cheshire, Merseyside, Wirral and parts of Shropshire. I have also covered the Manchester area in the past and it would be a simple job to re establish a Manchester presence.
STRONG MARGINS & FLEXIBLE EARNING POTENTIAL
Auto locksmithing can offer attractive margins on key and associated materials, with typical margins on supplied goods often in the region of 70–85% POR, depending on the job and materials involved.
My average sale value is approximately £145 per job.
For illustration:
2 jobs per day × 6 days = 12 jobs per week
At an average £145 sale value, that would represent approximately:
£1,740 weekly gross sales
If you chose to undertake an additional job per day:
3 jobs per day × 6 days = 18 jobs per week
That would represent approximately:
£2,610 weekly gross sales
These figures are illustrative rather than guaranteed, and actual turnover will depend on demand, working hours, location, job mix, pricing and how many jobs the new owner chooses to undertake.
The important point is that you control how much or how little you work.
A GENUINE TURNKEY OPPORTUNITY -offered as a complete operation, including:
Established auto locksmith business
2021 Renault Trafic LWB workshop van
Websites to market services in different areas
Specialist key-cutting equipment
Advanced key programming equipment
Plenty of existing stock
Equipment and tools
Established customer base and enquiry streams
Existing business infrastructure
Training and handover support
The new owner can therefore take possession and begin trading straight away
POTENTIAL TO BUILD THE BUSINESS
For someone prepared to put the time and effort into learning the trade and developing the business, there is considerable scope to build on what is already established.
The business has been successfully operating for 18 years, demonstrating that there is an established demand for mobile vehicle locksmith services.
A new owner could choose to maintain a manageable workload or increase the number of jobs, working days and service area as they gain experience.
The earning potential will ultimately depend on the effort, working hours, pricing and business development undertaken by the new owner.
RETIREMENT SALE - after 18 years it is time for me to retire.
This is an opportunity to take over an established specialist business with the equipment, vehicle, knowledge and infrastructure already in place, rather than attempting to build an auto locksmith business from the ground up.
For the right person, prepared to learn the trade and put in the work, the business has the potential to provide a strong income while offering the freedom and flexibility that comes with being your own boss.
If you're seriously considering a career change, self-employment or owning your own mobile auto locksmith business, this is an opportunity worth investigating.
Serious enquiries are welcome and I am happy to discuss the business, equipment, training and handover arrangements with genuine prospective buyers.
