Great service - Car Keys - Keys in the Post

Riccal

I had an issue a little while ago with some of the components in my car key coming adrift ('04 Vectra). Looking at most sites that do replacement keys - including Vauxhall - looked like I might be in for a 200 quid bill but with the alarm not deactivating as the little electrical contact had fallen off didnt think I had much choice.

However, found https://www.keysinthepost.com - 25 quid dont within a week. Just send it off, they call and take payment over the phone and new key back - all perfect.

Going to post this on Motoring as well. Cant praise them enough for a straightforward and affordable service.

Well done guys.

So they post your keys to your home address where you presumably keep your car ? Doesn't sound desperately safe - many insurance policies don't cover cars stolen using their keys.

Hmmm - bit pedantic. No reg no on the key, registered post and you can ask them to post them wherever you want - doesnt have to be home if you think thats a security issue.

Valid point rather than pedantic .
On the small chance the key is stolen then if your car is stolen insurance may be invalid .

You can actually go to the shop and pick them up if you wish.
If you provide Vauxhall with the codes they post it out - again registered post (yes, not 100% failsafe I know).
Just seemed to me to be a perfect solution to being trapped into an expensive repacement.
Anyway, caveat emptor.

It's people within the royal service that pose the biggest risk. It's a 100% valid argument. Going to collect would be the sensible option, assuming you live near to them.

Fair point - to clarify then, these guys provide a great service. Be cautious about getting anything sent in the post but if you do use them the service is genuine and easy.

Probably thinking of what she's going to do with the proceeds when Phillip sells Riccal's Vauxhaul.
