I had lost my van keys while out of the country, I phoned Royalcarkeys just before I boarded a flight back to Gatwick(where my vehicle was parked in the short term carpark) By the time the plane had landed there locksmith was there waiting for me and had the problem solved in 10 minutes. Great service.

Questions
How much does ignition repair cost?
From £150 for a jammed barrel or a key stuck or snapped in the ignition, and from £250 for Mercedes EIS or a steering lock. We confirm the exact price for your car before we set off, and there's no call-out fee.
Do you repair or replace the barrel?
Most barrels can be repaired rather than replaced, which costs less. If yours needs replacing, we fit a new one and cut keys to match.
Can you come to me?
Yes. We fix it where the car is — at home, at work or at the roadside — so you don't need a tow.
Is there a warranty?
Yes. Ignition repairs come with a 2-year warranty.
Do I pay upfront?
No deposit and no upfront payment. You pay by card, cash or bank transfer when the job is done.
