Great service but at a cost !

After the all to common central locking problem on a Land Rover D4 I ended up miles from home with my keys locked in the car ! I thought i was insured but apparently not but they called out “We’ve got the key” who were brilliant, the lady who turned up after about 1/2 an hour and had the door open in just a couple of mins. £190 though !!

My car key got stuck in my driver's door just as I was about to leave to visit my parents. My insurance company put me in touch with 'we've got the key' and all was right again with the world. Thank you so much for the fantastic service from start to finish.

The company promised me that they would definitely be able to supply a key for a BMW Z4. This was not true they managed to stop the original key from working and then left saying they would sort the problem.
They later told me they would be unable to do this and offered a refund but no way of putting the original key back to a functional state. Do not believe there claims that they are the best as they are definitely not l have now spoken with BMW and new keys will be available soon for £155.00 so I'll get one from them

I had locked my key in car

I had locked my key in car. Called RAC who put me in touch with this company. Felt a bit pressured on the phone to pay. Was told no refunds but I was desperate. Terms and conditions are sent via text and payment via text. Had no time to read them as they are long. Was told the locksmith would be after midday and it was 8am in the morning with car running so was a little stressed. After 30 mind I did find my spare care and rang them and the first comment was as you were told no refunds. No compassion so £170 down the drain and the locksmith wouldn’t have even been on the way. Lesson learned that you can ring around but as I was in a panic I just went with first company RAC recommended.

Good afternoon, Nichola,

Upon review, I can see that our team has tried calling you both this morning and this afternoon to discuss a refund, however, you have answered neither call. Your review therefore holds some incorrect information. Might you be able to get in touch to discuss the refund we are trying to provide you?

Great service

I stupidly locked my keys in my car. I called and within 2 and a half hours, I had someone at my car unlocking it. He was professional and courteous. He even offered for me to let my daughter sit in his van to get out of the cold and wind. I have never had to use an auto locksmith before, and I don’t ever want to again, but if I did, I would definitely use WGTK. Thank you.

Very reliable and trustworthy

I lost the last remaining key fob to my wife’s Mini Cooper and found We Got The Key on Google. From the moment they answered the phone they were brilliant - communication was fantastic and so was John who had to drive from Glasgow out to Edinburgh. He let me know what time he was due to arrive and then sent me a link to show his progress. He was professional and courteous and did a superb job. Couldn’t recommend the service highly enough.

Keys locked in boot of TT

Keys locked in boot of TT with deadlocked doors…..why Audi make this even possible is beyond me, but WGTK found me a local locksmith on a rainy Sunday evening and sorted it out quickly and efficiently within an hour of initial call. Highly recommended.

Lost my only car key at work and after calling these, they were out in around 2 hours.
Had a brand new key on the spot, ready to roll. Wasn't cheap, but would still highly recommend. Great service. 👍

John helped us at Sand Point National Trust today after losing our car keys. Very stressful day but he was absolutely brilliant and so kind after a long day. Whole experience today was really good, and those I spoke to on the phone were so helpful and supportive. Thank you for saving our day.
