What Our Customers say
Excellent experience. Great communication, efficient timing, good price, accommodating & a very warm and friendly service. Would definitely recommend!
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.
Damaged Keys Increase Security Risks
When your car key is damaged, it’s not just a matter of convenience that’s affected. The frustrated tugging to free the darn thing can further damage the lock cylinder itself. A panicked extraction attempts might leave you with worsened woes- lodged fragments left unattended in the lock act as an open invitation for wannabe thieves.
Alright, let’s face it - complete or even partial blockage of your car key slot isn’t going help anyone but troublemakers. Your vehicle drops vulnerable into their eager hands and up-go insurance premiums overnight! Now imagine this happening late night after a social visit during peak Bristol freeze; an unfortunate picture indeed!
What typically gives birth to these problems? Time! Our keys put on years without us noticing tiny fractures gradually evolving from repetitive use. Occasional hard turns on stubborn locks don’t help either – especially those born from frigid Bristol mornings when everything seemingly stiffens supporting Murphy’s Law…the list could go on.
