Question 1

Are these prices fixed?

Accepted Answer

The figures here are honest starting prices. Once you give us your registration we confirm an exact, fixed price before we set off, and that is the price you pay on completion. Nothing is added at the kerbside.

Question 2

Do you charge a call-out fee?

Accepted Answer

No. There is no call-out fee and no charge for the quote. If we cannot solve the problem, you do not pay anything at all.

Question 3

Why is a keyless smart key more than a basic remote?

Accepted Answer

Smart and proximity keys use encrypted rolling-code systems, so the blank itself costs more and the programming takes longer and needs dealer-level equipment. Older blade and transponder keys are far cheaper.

Question 4

Is a mobile locksmith cheaper than the main dealer?

Accepted Answer

Usually, yes. There is no recovery or towing cost, no dealer booking wait and no loan car needed, because the whole job happens where your car is already parked.

Question 5

How much does it cost to replace a car key in the UK?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your make, model and the type of key, but you always get a clear, fixed price agreed before any work starts. A simple spare is cheaper than an all keys lost job on a keyless car, but either way there are no surprises at the kerbside, no call-out fee, and if we cannot sort it there is no charge at all. Send us your reg for an exact quote.

Question 6

How do you price a job?

Accepted Answer

We price the job, not your panic. You get a clear, fixed price agreed before any work starts, so there are no surprises at the kerbside. No call-out fee, ever, and if we cannot sort it, there is no charge at all.

Question 7

Is it cheaper than Timpson or Halfords for car keys?

Accepted Answer

For coded car keys and transponders we bring dealer level programming direct to your driveway, which shops that only cut simple blades cannot always do. You get a fixed price up front, so you can compare with total confidence.

Question 8

How can I pay?

Accepted Answer

Whatever's easiest when the job is finished: card, contactless, Apple Pay, Google Pay, cash or bank transfer. Payment is always taken on completion, never up front, with no call-out fee.
