I paid 170 for a new transit fob which stopped working after a week. A technician came and sorted the problem which was a weak signal from the fob. The key has stopped working after 3 weeks now, I've spoken to a mechanic and the issue is the key not the van. I can't get Thru to the Car key people as his mobile seems to have blocked my number and no response from Google number. I'm now 170 pound out of pocket with a van that doesn't lock. I would not recommend

Lost my keys (I'm actually convinced someone picked them up by accident tbh) and spent all evening and more earlier morning hours look for them. Got in touch with the car key people after a quick Google search and I couldn't be happier with their service. Super quick, professional, and friendly. By the time I got to my car Mitchell was already in my car lool. Literally waited 3 mins and he was done. Just fantastic and so relieved. Thank you Mitchell. Great lad as well.

Brilliant. Called and arranged a engineer straight away. Mark was great help. I was not home but they attended, did the job and posted my new keys in my letter box. Paid over phone via their invoice email. No hassle no stress. 100% convenient.

The process was super quick, very convenient and Carlo who I dealt with was incredibly helpful. I had obtained quotes from other services but found them blunt and abrupt. The Car Key People talked me through all my options patiently, answered all my questions and did the job so efficiently. Very impressed and pleased I went with them.

Professional, friendly, swift and simply gets the job done from unlocking the car, supplying a copy of the key, to emailing a receipt. I got a quote for the around the same price to just unlock the car with no key cutting, from another company in Hackney. This was after they came and could not get the job done and wanted to send out a specialist. It's a shame I have no plans of getting locked out of my car again, I would definitely call these guys. I will so recommend them!

I would HIGHLY recommend The Car Key People.... Mark was brilliant. Came and re programmed my keys when my spare set was stolen. He was friendly, efficient and SO much cheaper than any other company I called. I honestly wouldn't bother calling anyone else... Use The Car Key People...., you will get the best service totally stress free!

Mark was prompt and arrived at the time specified. He had prepared my spare car key within 20mins. I would definitely recommend, so much cheaper than me ordering direct from the car manufacturer!
