Aptly named service. First, the person in the call centre was polite, courteous and helpful. I was given a time slot and 30 minutes prior to the ETA I received confirmation. I then received a 10 minu... See more

Good afternoon Angela,

Thank you so much for such positive feedback.

We are very happy that our locksmith and office staff were so professional and that the service was so prompt.

We will let the team know of your feedback.

Absolutely spot on Nissan Xtrail

Absolutely spot on. The ordering process was easy and we were given a day once the fob was ordered. I was given a 4 hour slot and the locksmith called half an hour in to say he'd be with us shortly. The locksmith was brilliant. He cracked straight on after advising of a potential problem with our car's ECU (corrupted program)... he assured us that if ours was in the affected batch, he would abort and signpost us to Nissan to save any issues. As it was everything went very smoothly and all done in no time. Brilliant service, thank you!

Don't get me wrong it was expensive but…

Don't get me wrong it was expensive but given the circumstances. The team were amazing and Dave the engineer was a great bloke. Super helpful. Back on the road after about 3 hrs of the first contact. Thank you all so much. You saved our holiday.

rom the start of my first phone call…

From the start of my first phone call to the arrival of the van outside my flat, I found the service excellent. I was given regular update phone calls and the company bent over backwards to work around my busy schedule. Highly recommend.

Highly recommended!

Definitely would reccomend this company. They were efficient and prompt over the phone. Were able to speed up the call out time as we were in a hurry. Reasonably priced. The young man who came out gave us a call before he arrived. Opened our car door in no time.
I do honestly reccomend this company as the service was not fussy but straightforward no hassle to deal with on top of what you're already dealing with (stress of car keys locked in car, parked in Tesco car park and unable to find spare key!!)
Cost was £160.00 + VAT
Honestly not sure how expensive or reasonably priced but like I said didn't have a choice but had peace of mind! Thank you so much to the young man on the phone and the young man who came out on the call- definitely our heroes!

Great service.

I had a relatively complicated problem in that my Mk 5 VW Golf's key wouldn't turn in the ignition. I was a little sceptical, as I had to pay up front and several.places had refused on the grounds of it being too much hassle. These guys were great. Had to order a part but got me sorted in two days. They kept me informed all the way. Nicky the guy that came out was great. Recommended!

Avoid like the plague

Avoid like the plague. Tell lies. So 1st cancellation was because an audit was taking place but we all know audits are planned even Lewis the customer service manager agreed and said this. Wednesday went to a ca not the La postcode he should have so he wouldn’t travel 40 minutes to the correct place. Offered 50 pounds back refused this Lewis offered me 70 back agreed to discover Ini had already processed the 50 pounds I had refused. Anyway to today man arrived said keys are fine yep great BUT you was coming for the immobiliser. Failed job now waiting for a call back from the manager to offer me a refund minus call out fee. Nope not happening AVOID this company at all costs!! So much stress and they couldn’t care less regarding customer service sp503366351res is reference number Dan Heather Thorn
