Autolox was recommended to me by my garage. The service was excellent, with arrival at my home within an hour of request ( which was not an urgent one). The Autolox van is fully equipped & clearly a very professional set up. The electronic car key cost less than half of the price I had been quoted by a high street locksmith. I have already recommended Autolox to friends.

I contacted Kirk this morning as my ignition barrel broke and he was with me within 3 hours and fixed the issue there and then for a reasonable price. Absolutely saved my day and couldn't be happier with the service!

Called Kirk in the morning as I needed a replacement spare key for my Renault. He arrived later that morning and had done the key within the hour. He was professional and friendly and his prices are very competitive. I would highly recommend Kirk and Autolox.

Kirk was very helpful on the phone before even coming to see the van. He knew what the problem was and how to fix it, gave me a very competitive price and was extremely helpful and knowledgeable and even cut me an extra spare blade 👍🏻👍🏻 definitely recommended
