10 Car Key Replacement
Posted 03 July
Brilliant and helpful
MR Auto Key Services cut and programmed new keys for my 2013 Golf TDi in a very stressful all-keys-lost situation, and they were brilliant. Marcio and his team went above and beyond from the start, overcame many hurdles, were unfailingly committed to what turned out to be a difficult cause, super accommodating, and great communicators. They took 2 weeks less than my insurance company's preferred supplier had quoted to get me back on the road. I mean it in the nicest possible way when I say I hope I never have to deal with them again, but I 100% would if I need a car key replaced in future!Verified reviewerJob location: RG30REugenie K10 Auto / Vehicle Locksmith

Professional, Reliable and Highly Skilled
Excellent service from start to finish. Communication was prompt, they arrived when promised, and worked professionally throughout. The job became much more complex due to an old aftermarket alarm and immobiliser system, but they patiently and methodically worked through the problem until it was fully resolved. Their persistence, technical expertise and commitment to getting the job done properly were outstanding. It's clear they take pride in doing the job right, even when faced with challenging problems. Highly recommended.Verified reviewerJob location: BA1210 Doors Opened / Unlocked

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.Verified reviewerJob location: RG109.67 Auto / Vehicle Locksmith
