Lost car keys somewhere in Liffey Valley. Hopefully they’ll find them but just in case I’m looking for recommendations of good and reasonable locksmith’s or is dealer the best bet.
It’s a Ford Focus Zetec 2009. Remote Keys but might go with non-remote option given the cars age.

Thanks in advance,

Jos

Thanks for the reply.
Getting various quotes from a number of sources ranging from €220 - €280 - €300.
Is this as a minefield or do they provide more or less of a service.
Basically am I comparing like with like?

Double check your insurance doesn't cover it.

Do you need the car unlocked, do you have a second key? Just beware the price varies depending on what you need.

I need the car unlocked as I’ve lost my key.
I don’t have a second key
