Installation of locks & plates on van
I used Car Keys Solutions to install locks and plates on my new van. They came to install quickly and efficiently. The true test of a service is when things don't go so well - and in fact there was a small problem with the installation, but Natalie (my main contact) and Tudor (her manager) were extremely good in communicating with me and organising the solution. It was all fully rectified with no fuss, so they passed the test 100 %, I was very impressed. Based on my experience, I would fully recommend this company, especially Natalie who was very professional and decent, for any lock work.

A job well done
The mechanic came on time, he worked hard non-stop. When he finished, in plain understandable English he showed me comprehensively the sequence I have to use to start the car. He even put a small video on my phone demonstrating the process. A good, comfortable experience and gave peace of mind. Highly recommend

Excellent and efficient service
Carkeysolutions delivered exactly what I needed. They arrived promptly, worked efficiently, and produced a new key for my 1 Series BMW far quicker than I expected. The technician was brilliant — professional, skilled, and really easy to deal with.
It’s rare to get service that feels this straightforward and well organised. I’m genuinely impressed and would recommend them without hesitation.

This company was prepared to come out the next day to replace a lost IR key for my car which was proving extremely difficult to source.
Expensive but cheaper than Mercedes who were on back order anyway.
