I contacted this company as i lost my car key

I contacted this company as i lost my car key, I call them on Friday to arrange their guy to come on Saturday morning, i paid 120£ deposit to secure the slot, they said the all service would be 390£, guy arrived and after 30min he said he cant make a car key as i need original from mazda and additional cost would be around 150£ and i need to wait up to 10 days for new car key, i said i dont want this service, that i cant wait that long and would like to get the refund, after 2 weeks i just spoke with “friendly” Laurence on chat and asked the refund still hasnt hit my account and he said it did…i received email straight away that refund was done today 20th April but they keep laying that it was my bank problem bla bla bla, to summarise make sure u check if u receive your money back, i dont recommend them as over the phone they promise miracles but when it comes to actual service…it is what it is

Hello Marta,

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and for the experience you’ve shared. This is not the level of service we strive to deliver, and we understand how frustrating the delays and confusion around the refund must have been.

Please be assured that we are looking into what occurred, including the visit, the guidance provided, and the refund handling, so we can avoid similar situations in the future.

Thank you for taking the time to let us know.

Kind regards,

I recently used Car Key Solutions to make two blade keys for my Mercedes Sprinter van and I’m very pleased with the service. The technician arrived exactly on time, which was really appreciated, and got straight to work.

The whole process was quick and hassle-free, and both keys work perfectly. The price was very reasonable compared to other quotes I received, so it felt like great value for money.

Overall, a very professional and reliable service. I would definitely recommend Car Key Solutions to anyone needing replacement or spare keys.

Car key solutions coned me out of £120 on the phone I told them that I did not have the log book and drivers licence They sent a driver to program a new key and when they arrived they said they can't reprogram a new key without a logbook for the car and ripped me off. I had to open a dispute with my bank to get my money back. This company ripped me off and you should avoid at all costs.

Hello Mr. Anthony,

Please note that for security and legal reasons, proof of ownership and ID are mandatory for any new key service.

As these documents were not available upon our engineer's arrival, the £120 call-out fee was applied. This charge covers the technician's attendance and was clearly informed and approved by you at the time of booking.

We must strictly follow these procedures to ensure vehicle security. Thank you for understanding.

Kind Regards,
Car Keys Solutions Team

Staff fine, keys appear to be refurbs at new prices

Perfectly pleasant staff but the "new" key had one of the button symbols completely worn off and two massive scratches across the front so appears to be some kind of refurb - I wasn't in at the time and didn't think to ask my family to check. Not ideal to pay over £240 for someone else's old key especially as this wasn't mentioned at any point.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re really glad to hear you found our staff pleasant—that’s something we take great pride in.

We’re sorry to learn about your disappointment with the condition of the key you received. This is certainly not the experience we aim to provide, especially given the price point. While our keys are always checked before handover, it seems we fell short in this instance, and we sincerely apologize.

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will be reviewing our quality control process to prevent similar issues in the future. As discussed earlier, we will be arranging a warranty visit to replace the casing of your car key and ensure it meets the expected standard.

Thank you again for your feedback, and we appreciate the opportunity to make this right.
