Advanced Locksmiths provided excellent service for my car lockout. The technician arrived quickly, was friendly and professional, and gained entry to my vehicle without any damage . The price quoted over the phone was exactly what I paid . Fast, reliable, and highly recommended.
Peter was with me within 2 hours of my call. New key and transponder done within 1 hour. Professional and friendly, would highly recommend. Thank you!
I can’t thank Craig enough for the incredible service. I accidentally locked my key in my car and was completely stuck, but he came out quickly and handled everything with such professionalism and care. Not only did he safely retrieve my key without any damage, but he also cut me a new one on the spot, which was a huge relief. He was friendly, efficient, and clearly very skilled at what he does. The whole experience was stress-free thanks to his calm and helpful approach. I genuinely appreciate him going the extra mile to make sure I was back on the road as quickly as possible. I would highly recommend Craig to anyone in need of a reliable and trustworthy locksmith!
Thank you so much for getting me back on the road so quickly. I managed to lose my car key and I had a replacement within 2 hours.
I was advised by an RAC technician to contact Advanced Locksmiths to replace a failed ignition barrel in VW Golf. First class communication and replaced the failed part to be back up and running in less than 24 hours. Highly recommend.
Key would not turn in my daughter-in-law's VW Golf this morning, and it all pointed to a failure within the ignition system. These guys turned up within 90 minutes, giving me a courtesy call 20 minutes before they arrived. Repair was complete within an hour - the unit that houses the ignition barrel needed replacing. Now as good as new. Ignore the one negative review on here - it is full of misunderstanding, ignorance, and self-importance, on what was a tragic day for one family. A 5 star review is fully deserved, I'd have no hesitation in using Advanced Locksmiths again, and would recommend them with full confidence.
After losing my cars keys and spending hours on phone be told contradicting things by insurer and dealer etc,I called these guys and Craig came out and did a fantastic job of getting into my car, making and programming me a new key in great time. Highly recommend 👌
