Highly recommend. My car malfunctioned yesterday - locking me out with the keys on the inside. James arrived in 30 minutes, took 2 minutes to open the doors, and I suddenly got my day back. Very grateful to this company. They were also 40% cheaper than the last locksmith I used. Highly recommend.

Absolutely A class service. Came the next day and sorted me a new car key with a boot option also which I never had on the old one at no extra charge. Really nice chap had a very nice chat while he did the work and if I shall ever need this service again I shall be using this company and also telling all the people I know about them.
Thanks again for the work it's much appreciated 👍🏻 🙏🏻.

Broken key fob left me stranded. James was able to sort it out super quick and I've now got a second key fob that I always meant to get! Definitely recommended, you won't be disappointed with the service

Volvo XC60 replacement key. James was really helpful and did exactly what he promised for a good price (crucially, a lot less than a Volvo dealer). Highly recommended.

James did a fantastic job getting a spare key made for my car! He came the next day and sorted a new key on the spot in under an hour. The price was also great (much cheaper than what’s quoted on Timpson). Really friendly and knowledgeable, would 100% recommend! 😊

I can not praise James highly enough. I called yesterday to enquire about prices for a spare key for my new car that had only come with one key. He gave me a great quote on the phone and booked me in for today. In less than half an hour he had programmed me a second key but also questionned if we had had problems turning the original key as it was warped. He offered to cut a new blade for my original key. Fast, professional and friendly. I would 100% recommend. Thank you so much James.

100% would recommend this company to all family and friends, making the job look quick and easy even though there is a massive skill behind it, which he has marsted it to a key

Excellent service! He arrived quickly, was very friendly, and had the problem fixed in under an hour. He explained everything clearly, reassured me it was a common issue, and charged exactly what he quoted. Reliable and highly recommended!

Fantastic service, got resolved within the hour. My car is leased so you can imagine the cost of a replacement key from the lease company £££s I had a spare for him to copy looks identical. Thank you so much.
