Who I am
Who runs Otypro in Tenerife?
I'm Olexy. I run Otypro as a one-person operation by design. Bigger doesn't make this job better; the opposite, usually. The minute a locksmith business hires a dispatcher and routes calls to "available techs," the quote stops being honest and the customer stops being the priority.
So the setup here is straightforward: you text my local Spanish mobile number, I read your message, I quote you, I drive to your car, I do the work, you pay after it works. There's nobody between us. No "service area franchisee." No phone tree. No upsell because no commission. The hands that quote you are the hands that cut the key.
Why solo matters in this trade
A solo locksmith beats a call-centre route. Every time.
If you’ve Googled “locksmith near me” in the last few years, you’ve probably noticed that most of the top ads aren’t local — they’re routed through a national dispatcher. Here’s what changes when you cut the middleman out.
Single point of contact
You always know who’s coming.
You text the same person who replies, quotes, drives over, does the work, and bills you. Never a stranger arriving at your driveway with no idea what was discussed on the phone.
Honest math
The quote isn’t padded for someone else’s cut.
Call-centre routes bake in margin for the dispatcher AND the subcontracted tech AND a marketing budget for ads with “€12” headlines. Solo means the price is the work, plus the parts — that’s it.
No upsell pressure
I’m not on commission.
If a battery fixes your fob, I tell you. If a dealer is the right call for your specific vehicle, I tell you. Nobody’s counting how many extras I sold this week — because there’s no “this week’s quota” when I am the company.
Same hands every job
Consistency you can review.
Most national dispatchers can’t claim that — the technician quality varies wildly.

Credentials & insurance
What "trust me" actually means — in writing.
The locksmith trade has a credibility problem in Spain specifically. Here's how I think about it — and the actual paperwork that backs me up.
Insurance
Civil liability insurance
Ownership checks
ID and ownership verified before I cut a key
Government photo ID matched to the registration or proof of insurance in your name, before I cut or program anything. What I check before cutting a key →
The "licence" myth
No locksmith licence exists in Spain
Spain has no dedicated licence for locksmiths, so "licensed locksmith" as a marketing claim in Tenerife is meaningless. What is real: insurance, ownership verification on every key job, and a business you can look up. That's what I have.

If yours isn’t here, just text me. Service-specific FAQs live on the dedicated pages. More on the full FAQ page.
Every price I charge is published — see the pricing page, then text me your year, make and model.
Are you really the only one — no employees, no subcontractors?
Yes. The person who answers the text, sends the quote, drives to your car, cuts the key, programs the immobilizer, and takes payment is the same person. That’s me. There’s no dispatcher, no service-area franchisee, no call-centre routing. The number is a local Spanish mobile.
What if you’re sick, on vacation, or already booked?
I work 24/7, every day. If I’m genuinely booked or away, I’ll tell you straight rather than leave you waiting. Between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m. a flat €50 night callout fee is added on top of the job’s regular starting price — and if it can wait until morning, I’ll book you at the regular price instead and say so. I always respond — never silently.
Why don’t you do residential or commercial lock work?
Specialization. Automotive locksmithing is a different trade from residential / commercial — different tools, different security models, different liability profile. Doing both at one-person scale would mean doing both badly. I focus on what I do well: cars.
What’s the deal with locksmith licensing in Spain?
There isn’t one: Spain has no dedicated locksmith licence or official register. So “licensed locksmith” as a Tenerife marketing claim isn’t a verifiable credential. What matters here: the ownership and ID checks I run before cutting a key
No call centre. No subcontractor. Just text me.
