Excellent service

Didn’t know what to do when I realised my key wasn’t communicating with my car, a Google search found me We’ve got the key”, easily made an appointment that suited me and the technician arrived on time. I was not convinced he’d be able to sort my issue but he did, I was chuffed to bits.
Excellent service.

Unlocking my car

My car locked itself with the key card still inside.
I had used We've Got the Key previously and found on both occasions the service to be excellent.
The operator I spoke to on the phone, Pierce, was extremely helpful and patient as I was in a remote spot and having trouble with signal on my mobile.
When I managed to confirm my order someone was with me in less than an hour and I was updated on their progress on route to me.
Entry was gained to my car speedily and cleanly and I was on.my way again.
Excellent service.

Terrible company

Was directed to this company from rac and they were nothing but terrible.
Paid the fee in full over the phone and was told that the locksmith would be with me within two hours. Four hours later I rang the company and was told there locksmith was still going to be over two hours away and if I wanted to cancel they are going to keep every penny of my money. Had my partner ring them after another hour and they told her that they’d given another job to the locksmith as it was in the same city as his last job. Adding another two and an half hours on and the person on the phone said it was because of traffic. Phone operator was smarmy when I asked about a refund and why do they keep the money and just said that’s the policy.

Faulty key

I purchased a spare key as my second original had broken battery fittings. It worked for a couple of weeks, then failed. I had a second visit and the man was unable to fix it,I am refused a refund, they tell me its a fault with the car, my original key works perfectly. They tell me to get the car checked at a main dealership, that would cost more than the faulty key

Good afternoon, David,

Thank you for your feedback, however, we are admittedly a little uncertain of the 1 star score justification.

Our expert locksmiths attended your vehicle one more than one occasion to be certain that the failure to supply a key was due to an underlying vehicle issue—not within our control, unfortunately—and that your vehicle would be required to attend the dealership for further examination out-with the scope of an auto locksmith.

Although an unfortunate outcome, this is nothing we have control of, therefore our call-out service fee remains, and perhaps your 1 star rating is unfairly misplaced here.

Nevertheless, we hope you have a smooth continuation of this troubleshooting,

Be warned avoid this company at all…

Be warned avoid this company at all costs.Can't write to much at the moment as I'm taking legal action against them but was lucky enough to have evidence and recorded phone calls from there staff.Never thought that I would need them.Also never pay them upfront that kind of way to conduct business speaks volumes

Brilliant Service

I was forwarded on to WGTK by RAC and i was not disappointed.
Cost is not excessive in my opinion (and i was talked through how to pay despite purse being locked in car too)
I was kept well informed of expected arrival time and the locksmith turned up sooner than expected.
Very helpful, polite and chatty, and opened my car super fast, no damage or hassle.
I would 100% use again and recommend to everyone. Thankyou WGTK!

Highly recommended!!

I got locked out of my car while in work as I was in a rush. Needless to say after eight hours the battery had insufficient charge to allow my fob to work and the manual blade would not work
Control room team very efficient and extremely knowledgeable about about the service they provide. Their locksmith “Carl” kept me well informed about how far away he was from my location. When he arrived the pick kits wouldn’t open the door lock on my Toyota so he had those “old school “ with air jacks and a long hook. He got my car open and jumpstarted within 15 minutes of arrival. I am so grateful. Thanks again Carl you’re a legend and thank you to the rest of the team too. I will definitely recommend you guys.

Great service!

My experience with this service was fantastic! I think the guys name was Ash who came to my rescue, he was friendly, helpful and got me back into my van in a matter of minutes!
Only thing I thought was a bit strange, was that he had a balaclava on and it was a very hot day! Won't let that ruin this experience anyway! 😂😂😂

Thanks!

As for the balaclava—yes, we admit that’s a bit of an unusual accessory for a hot day! 😅 We'll have a word with Ash about his unique fashion choices!

Thanks again for your feedback and for keeping a great sense of humour about it. We're always here if you need us again!

Fantastic company!

I initially had my doubts, there aren't many companies willing to work on old Jeeps with obscure security systems, but after speaking with the Technician (Dan) on site, I knew I was in good hands. Really knew his stuff, was really quick and efficient. Hopefully I'll not need your services again, but I'll recommend your company to others. The price was really fair considering the distance travelled and the knowledge and skills offered. Big thanks WGTK and Dan the man!
