    Well tell them you've locked them in your car then ask for key cover. That's being honest.
    Please do not quote spam as this enables it to 'live on' once the spam post is removed. ;)

    If you quote me, don't forget the capital 'M'

    Car Locksmith is £450 and going to dealer will also cost about the same. We aren't rich people and this cost would seriously make January a huge struggle for us
    and kids 😢 to be honest the car is probably not worth £500🙏


    I had a similar issue. Quotes £300+ but I found a ebay key seller that did mobile locally, I got two replacement ckeycards for £100
