Andy was brilliant. My car key fob stopped working and I was locked out of my car at midnight. Once he arrived, he had me back inside my car within five minutes. He was super friendly and reassuring and arrived in 15 mins after the call. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a locksmith.

Absolutely amazing service! I accidentally locked my keys inside the car with my children still inside, and he came out quickly and had the car unlocked in no time. He was calm, professional, and reassuring during a very stressful situation. I honestly can’t thank him enough for his fast response and kindness. I would highly recommend his services to anyone who needs a reliable locksmith. Thank you again for your help!

Andy turned up in Bishops Stortford super quickly, out of hours and was super friendly. Sorted the problem quickly with no damage to the property and gave some advice for going forward.

Amazing service from Andy this morning, worse nightmare happened when my friend accidentally left the keys in the car and we were locked out at 6am, luckily Andy wasn’t too far away and came to our rescue in 30 mins, and we were back on the road 15 mins later. Andy you were a life saver! Thanks again
