Worst thing that could happen is when you cannot lock your front door called the shop and couple hours later locksmith came over. Lovely guy, quickly changed the lock, explained what has happened as well. Fantastic service. Reasonably priced too. Would highly recommend. Thank you

Asked for a key to be cut, 5 weeks ago, for my company van. The 1st excuse was they did not have blanks but took my details and would call. THEY NEVER. The 2nd excuse was the person who cuts keys was on holiday but again took details and would call. THEY NEVER. The 3rd excuse was the machine was away being repaired, serviced. And would call, guess what THEY NEVER. On the 4th occasion I appeared personally and was given every excuse under the sun as to why they could not cut key. Cutter on lunch, maybe no blanks etc etc. They again took all my details and would that afternoon, guess what still waiting. After 5 weeks waiting I give up. How to run this business lacks in professional customer care by manager and staff.

Extremely reliable and efficient service. I took my secondary car fob to get chipped and programmed and it was all done in 15 minutes and at a great rate. Saved me a lot of money had I gone direct to car dealership. Highly recommend lock shop
