GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Portuguese term or phrase:
assistência 24 horas
English translation:
24 hour \ round the clock service \ available 24/7
Explanation: So Locksmiths and plumbers - this is a "services rendered/offered "genre.
Servicing means repairing something. Assitance would be for example if your car had broken down, and you needed some advice or help.
24 hour is cut and dried. "Round the clock" perhaps less formal, and maybe more attractive for an advert
Obs: Available 24/7 sounds good too.
It all depends on the target audience, context, and therefore the effect you want to create. All the best.
Thanks again Cicabarth. I think everyone helped me to come up with my final suggestion. I sometimes feel it is a pity points can't be divided up. There is very often more than one option for translation.

8.390 para "round the clock assistance", an option I had thought of too. Good luck

24-hour help
Explanation: This would apply to most types of service, except perhaps medical care. Since there's no more context, I'll offer this.
