Customers Say

"Locked my keys in the boot at Morrison's. Done the full shop, put the bags in, and the key must have fallen out of my coat pocket. Boot shut, car locked, frozen food thawing. Ian was in the car park within 10 minutes. Door open, key retrieved, shopping saved. I honestly couldn't believe how quick it was."

"It was 7am, freezing cold, and I'd locked my keys in the boot at the North Beach car park. I'd driven down for an early morning fishing session and in my rush to get the gear out, the boot slammed shut with the keys inside. Ian was there in 12 minutes. Had the car open in under two minutes — no damage. Absolute lifesaver."

"Bought a 2018 F-Pace privately — great car, but it only came with one key. Jaguar wanted over £400 and a two-week wait. Ian came to my office in Beverley, programmed a brand new smart key fob in the car park, tested it in front of me while I had a coffee. Total cost: £220. Car's been perfect ever since."

"I use a Citroën Berlingo for my cleaning business and only had one key. Been meaning to get a spare for two years. Dropped the original in a bucket of soapy water — wouldn't work at all. Ian came out that evening, dried out the circuit board (saved the original!), cut me a spare blade, and programmed a brand new remote. Now I've got two working keys and it cost about a third of what Citroën wanted."

"The battery in my Hyundai Tucson key fob was dead and the manual key barrel was seized (never used it in 5 years). Couldn't get into the car and had my toddler's car seat inside. Ian talked me through a workaround over the phone to get the door open without damage, then came out to sort a new key fob. Proper service — went above and beyond."

"We'd driven up to Filey for a week at The Bay. Day two, I left the car key on the roof while loading the boot with beach stuff. Drove off and it flew off somewhere on the road out. Spent an hour retracing my steps — nothing. Ian came out that afternoon, cut and programmed a new key right there in the car park. Turned a disaster into a minor inconvenience."

"We were staying at Cayton Bay and my husband snapped the key blade in the driver's door lock. Late afternoon on a Saturday — I thought we'd be stranded all weekend. Ian had a new blade cut and the broken piece extracted within about 40 minutes of my call. Absolute hero — saved our weekend."

"Parked on Marine Drive, locked the car with the remote, then the remote completely failed — battery corroded from salty air. The key barrel was also seized (classic Scarborough problem). Ian got the door open without any damage, sorted a new remote fob, and had me on my way within 40 minutes. Can't fault the service."

"My Megane's key card buttons had completely worn through — the unlock button was just a hole with a bit of rubber clinging on. Renault quoted £280 for a new card. Ian replaced the microswitches and the case, kept the original electronics, and it's been working perfectly. Cost me £65. Didn't even need to reprogram anything — saved me over £200."

"Visiting Whitby for the day — parked near the Abbey steps, spent the morning exploring, then couldn't find my car key. Must have slipped out of my jacket pocket somewhere between the Magpie Café and the 199 Steps. Retraced my walk twice, nothing. Ian was in Scarborough already and was with me in about 35 minutes. Cut and programmed a new key right at the car park. Drove home with a story to tell."

"Needed a spare key for my Range Rover Evoque — main dealer quoted nearly £400 and a two-week wait. Ian came to my house the same day I called, cut and programmed a brand new proximity key. Cost less than half the dealer price and worked perfectly from the moment he handed it over. Couldn't be happier."

"The ignition barrel had seized up on my Peugeot 308 — the key wouldn't even turn. Had it towed home to South Cave and my neighbour suggested calling Bridlington Keys. Ian came out that afternoon, diagnosed a worn barrel, replaced it and had the car starting first turn within about two hours of arriving. Thoroughly recommended."
