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.

James came to my stricken Vito van with no signs of it starting. He resoldered my ignition system and resolved my predicament. An incredible service and I will highly recommend him to anyone in the same situation.
