What customers say
Locksmith jobs our customers rate
Car ECU locked out my keys and car would not start the day before due to go on car based holiday with the kids… The guys at kens pulled out all the stops, did the work on the same day in less than an hour for much much less than then the dealer quoted.

After snapping the tip of my car key off, having a mobile car lock smiths were unable to resolve the issue, even though they did their best. They put me in touch with “Kens Auto Spares” It was sorted out in a matter of minutes.
