Called out as my key snapped in my car door, called up and sent pictures of the key, gave us a very competitive quote and was out within 30 minutes. Cut a new key and even fixed the electric button on the key which was also broken, free of charge. Great guy and would highly recommend.

This guy went above and beyond to ensure he left me with a big smile of relief on my face. Adam was patient, professional and incredibly skilled. He had the knowledge and equipment to solve a very tricky problem and did so with such professionalism. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

I sold a transit minibus to a customer in Colchester that is 150 miles away. The customer lost one of the keys so I searched online and found Adam. He was absolutely fantastic. Quick to respond, very competitive price and very efficient. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Had an unfortunate incident with my car being stuck in St Mary's car park with steering lock on thanks to a dodgy key. Adam was quickly on the scene and with minimal fuss, got us sorted in quick time. A knowledgeable, professional and very reasonable locksmith. Would highly recommend.

Both of my car keys stopped working so I called Adam. His service was excellent. He even tried to help me out over the phone to save me money. He re-arranged his day to come and help me out of a sticky situation. He arrived promptly and sorted out my issue within the hour. Highly recommend.

Very professional and knowledgeable. I was saved from a potentially very expensive situation due to a possible fault with my car's computer system. Thanks to Adam it was solved with the minimum of fuss and cost. Could not recommend more highly.
