Richard has done a great job for me on both occasions that I needed a job doing. He arrived today, as agreed, fixed one of my car keys and programmed and provided another one. Richard was friendly, efficient and solved a problem that arose with no fuss. I would definitely recommend him.
I stupidly lost my car key and after getting a copy from my spare, cut at a locksmiths…..nothing. I had no idea my key was coded and whilst the engine turned, did not fire. I was pretty annoyed the locksmiths could not do this, but they recommended Richard. Within half an hour, he met me and for a modest fee, coded my new key. I will no doubt be using his services again, as I own several vintage vehicles and his skills extend beyond the ignition coding of keys. Only a few days later, my friend’s ignition barrel broke in Hove and he was straight out, enabling our working day. Very happy with the service and would recommend, highly.
Richard was responsive, polite and quoted a competitive price. He came the next day and cut and programmed a new key in about 45 minutes. Less than half the cost of dealer garage, and he came to us which was so much easier. Would definitely recommend.
Really speedy and friendly service! We needed one Volvo key replaced and the spare programmed. We tried multiple people and Brighton Car Keys were the only one who could help. Strongly recommend!
Fantastic service. Messaged Richard on the morning and he found time to come out to me the same day. Communication was excellent, service was fantastic. Will definitely recommend to my family and friends. Top man
Fantastic service, very quick with replies and very reasonable price I would highly recommend
I needed a spare key cut and Richard was recommended to me. He came to my home at a time to suit me, was friendly and efficient. Payment by bank transfer, a reasonable cost. I would recommend him.
