Lewis is the Man

Lewis Undwin was so efficient and he did such a good job in a matter of minutes. Great sense of humour and made me so comfortable. He went over and above and I totally appreciated his assistance!

Great service when my steering lock broke.

Great service from these guys. My steering lock broke, so I was unable to start my van. I was expecting them to come out in 3-4 working days. They then advised I would have an engineer much later. I called them back and they rearranged. They were happy to help as best as they could. There was contact via text messages to keep me updated and when the locksmith arrived, they were friendly, professional and got the van up and running in about half an hour. The total time off the road was 7 days but they have been brilliant the whole time.

Key fob for VW

Words can’t explain how grateful I am for Lewis fixing my key issue especially when it is kids summer holidays and a car is crucial! It would have cost me a large sum of money had Lewis not been able to work out the issue for me and fix it. He went above and beyond and was polite, kind and explained it all to me. He is a credit to your team. If you get Lewis for your call out count yourself very lucky, he’s a star! ⭐️

I'm glad we managed to come out and sort out your issue without you having the expensive trip to attend an auto electrician.

On the review, was it meant to be a 1*?
