    Auto / Vehicle Locksmith

    Posted 04 June

    Great service lovely to deal with

    I was delighted with the service that Marcio gave. He changed the lock on my Range Rover and also cut a spare key for my van. He saw the job on checkatrade and got in touch with a clear price and this was what I paid at the end of the job even though it had taken him longer due to a complex ghost immobiliser system. He called to let me know his planned time and was charming. I offered him tea coffee etc but he had bought his own! I would definitely recommends him and would use him again if I needed any more car keys or locks sorted. Great person to do business with. Thank you so much.
