    Car Key Replacement

    Posted 1 week ago

    OUTSTANDING

    Outstanding - what a find! After fruitlessly searching the internet trying to find somebody who could help with replacing a damaged Mercedes key at a reasonbable price, I discovered Mr Auto Key Services. He was instantly efficient and helpful and came to my house the next day to set up a new key within an hour from his astonishingly well appointed van ... and great value. Brilliant - can't recommend him highly enough!

    Highly recommended

    An excellent job, I really cannot recommend this firm highly enough. My car-key problem turned out to be trickier than most but they stuck at it for three hours... and the end result was absolutely spot-on. Really really REALLY good work!

    Fast and efficient service

    Immediate response, same day service. They came to me and made a new key at a substantially lower price than high street shops or the main dealer. The technician talked me through the process and demonstrated that the new key was working. Definitely recommended.
