Great service today from Barry, the 4th locksmith/key technician to have a go at accessing my car after the keys were locked in the boot. Almost resigned to smashing the window, but he managed to access the car after 2 hours in the wind and rain, with a broken mechanism inside the lock, confirmed by the others who attempted the pick, brilliant stuff.
I was in a real panic, having locked my keys in my boot. Delighted with the efficient and effective service from this company. Had my keys back in my hand in under 5 minutes. Strongly recommend
Bought a new car which only had one key. These guys came out and created a second one quickly and inexpensively. Way cheaper than going to the main dealer and the only people in Bristol who could do it for the Audi A1 I have. Brilliant service.
Locked my keys in my car so Called at 9:45 and was out by 11. Very quick in my eyes considering it wasn’t a booked appointment. Came and unlocked my car in longer than 5 minutes!
Amazing service! I got an email response within minutes on a Sunday night. Arrived as arranged 8:30 next morning and had me back on the road within 30 mins for a very reasonable price. Highly recommended.
Brilliant service and at a reasonable cost highly recommended using this company.
