Real reviews from real customers across the New Forest, Southampton and Bournemouth.
"Paul coded keys for my export Toyota Alphard when most locksmiths were unable to help due to all keys lost. Lifesaver."
"I contacted Paul after several failed attempts with other so-called 'auto locksmiths'. He faced some unexpected challenges with the replacement of our car keys due to our car make and model, but he always had a solution at hand."
"Lost keys to my Discovery. Came out Sunday morning and made a new key. Very polite and told me what he had to do. Fair price. I highly recommend New Forest Auto Locks. He was brilliant."
"Having lost the only key to my truck, I managed to luckily find Paul. From first call he promised to get back to me within half an hour — he did. Quote over the phone, stuck to it. Told me what time he'd arrive."
"Paul called me back within 15 minutes, talked me through some options for my car key and called in as arranged to finish the job. Friendly, reliable and 100% recommended."
"Thanks to Paul coming out late on a Saturday afternoon I could still go on holiday Sunday morning. He reassured me straight away that he could sort the issue. So relieved to hear the engine start again after he set up a new key. He also fixed the original — really useful to have that spare. Highly recommend his work."
"Paul came to my home in the pouring rain to create a spare key as I only had one. I had approached 3 other auto locksmiths but each time they never came back."
"Quick, straight to the point, friendly and we got our car unlocked in minutes. Would 100% recommend!"
"Contacted Paul from New Forest Auto Locks on Saturday afternoon — by Sunday lunch he'd called round to my house and got the job done! I needed a fob cut and programmed and a spare cut. Paul was a little earlier than expected."
"Paul visited at a convenient time for us. Quickly got us 2 new keys programmed and cut for our daughter's first car. Excellent service, highly recommended."
"Very good service, would highly recommend. Customer service is brilliant. He is so polite and kind and was very good at explaining what he is doing. Would definitely use this service again."
"Paul coded and cut a spare key for my wife's car. He turned up at the expected time and was very professional — even with me looking over his shoulder as I was interested to see how the process worked. Thanks again."
"Very good service. Customer service was great — he explained everything to me and was very nice. Would highly recommend."
"First time I have used this company, and the service was brilliant. Arrived on time, kept me well informed, price was very good. I would highly recommend."
