Left my Key in Canada and was stranded at the airport parking in Edinburgh. Ricky was out in 15 minutes and sorted us out quickly, professionally and with a smile.

Ricky provided an excellent service. He managed to fit me in on the day, give a clear explanation of my options and what was required, and provided 2 new keys at a very reasonable price. I would highly recommend Auto Locks 24/7!

Ricky phoned shortly after I submitted my query and clearly explained all the available options for getting a new car key made. He came to my location and had the new key cut and programmed within the hour at a very reasonable price. Excellent service from start to finish. I can't recommend Auto Locks 24/7 highly enough. 10/10!

2025 VW did spare key for the car — not an easy thing to do. Much cheaper than VW, a company to trust.
