Replacement key
I lost the second key for my imported car. Dan had to put a lot of effort into researching a solution but succeeded in the end, thankfully avoiding the (very expensive) main dealer. Absolutely top bloke. Grazie mille!Verified reviewerJob location: RJ24Response from The Automotive Expert Ltd

Highly recommend The Automotive Expert
I have recently started using Daniele at The Automotive Expert. And he has coded a new key for my Land Rover, Sourced and programed an Engine ECU for a BMW (a job other companies didn't want to take on) And carried out a power and MPG remap on my Land Rover. I can strongly recommend the remap, Not just for power , But suits my needs for better driveability and torque when towing . His work and level of service has always been great, An all round happy and straight forward experience.Verified reviewerJob location: RG24Response from The Automotive Expert Ltd
Thanks so much for the great review, Stuart! Glad the remap’s made a difference and happy I could help with both the Land Rover and BMW. Really appreciate the recommendation! Daniele The Automotive Expert
