What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Car Keys Glasgow is described by customers as a dependable port of call for car lockouts and key problems, and the accounts return time and again to Brian, whose name appears throughout the feedback. Various customers describe him reaching them far sooner than expected, including on a public holiday and in sub-zero conditions, and completing the work within minutes of arriving.

Reviewers frequently point to his friendly, knowledgeable manner and the time he takes to explain what he is doing. Work described includes opening locked cars and vans, retrieving keys shut inside a vehicle, making replacement keys for a Ford Fiesta and a van, supplying a separate bonnet key, temporarily repairing broken keys while replacement parts were sourced, restoring lock and unlock function on an older car and resolving a lost 12v power issue on an electric vehicle.

One thing mentioned again and again is the fee, with one customer reporting two working keys for less than larger garages had proposed, and unnecessary work avoided. Being kept informed before and after the visit is noted too. The abiding impression is of a perfectionist who goes the extra mile, with Brian credited for saving a wedding day and a marriage alike.

Brian took the time to trial and error different solutions for why my keys weren't working, and I've come away with two working car keys for half the price of what the bigger garages were going to charge (their proposed solutions turned out not be needed!). Thanks so much Brian!

Brian saved the day when both car keys broke. He managed to temporarily fix both for short term driving, while sourcing replacement parts. He is a perfectionist, friendly and informative. Pleasure doing business with him!

I first contacted "Brian" on the 6th of January 2026, I need 2 fobs for my mazda. I then called him on 9th, 11th, 15th, 19th, 20th, finally after countless promises of meeting (car keys Glasgow refuse to give out their business address) On 29th January Brian told me he would 100% do the job on 30th January. One of his many excuses had been "I don't have my big book". I called as arranged at 11.00am 31st January, only for him to say "as long as you have the reprogramming procedure I'll meet you at burger King Hillington at approximately 1.30pm". This was after me waiting in on 4 separate occasions for his "mobile service" coming to my house. The above excuse was after telling me he was on his way, after a 3hr wait no Brian, "I've lost the fobs, if I find them ill call you" and he put the phone down. I note Brian has some positive reviews, I can only assume someone has his phone. Avoid this fantasist like the plague.

Just had Brian come out and sort me with a new van key. Outstanding service. Got in touch this morning and he was with me the same day only a couple of hours later, a real lifesaver. He even made me up a separate bonnet key. If you are locked out your van or car this is the company to use, thanks again.

A total life saver. I was in deep s, my electric car had lost 12v power and I couldn’t get into the car. Add to that the dealership hadn’t checked there was an actual key inside the fob. Brian arrived within 45 minutes (other companies were quoting 5-6 hours) and within 40 minutes, he not only opened the car with his expertise and he helped me get the car started. A total gentleman, kind and thorough. I cannot thank you enough.

After locking ourselves out of our car this evening, we had the pleasure of Brian coming out to help us. Less than 30 minutes from the initial call, he had the car door open in seconds. Friendly, knowledgeable, informative and utterly charming. Brian, I think you saved a marriage tonight, you are the man and a credit to your company. Bravo πŸ‘

Contacted Brian last night and he called me back first thing this morning and by 10.30 he was in my car and had cut me two emergency keys. All for an exceptionally good price. Will be keeping his number for future. Thank you
