“I required a replacement key for my car. Ira came to my address in super quick time. He ran a diagnostic program to ensure the issue was the key and not the car. He cut a new mechanical key, supplied me with a new electronic key, fully programmed the key, tested that it all worked well and allowed me to test it thoroughly before leaving. 100% service and quality. All at a fraction of the price of the main dealership. I could not be happier. Thank you Ira.”

Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Highlights
“Ira was quick to arrive and get my keys out of the car after I locked myself out. I asked him to make me a copy on the spot and despite it being a challenge due to the model and age of my car he persevered and maned to make me a copy. Top bloke and excellent service. Would highly recomend him”
Detailed reviews
These are the individual reviews we hold for Amber Locksmiths, including the highlights above. The 159 headline total is the review volume reported across public review sources.
Amber Locksmiths assured me he was supplying genuine Ford keys and reprogrammed my car after I lost an original key. Mere days later, my car was broken into because the keys he provided were not locking the car properly. When I visited Ford, they confirmed the keys are not genuine Ford parts. I raised this with the locksmith and requested a refund, but he has refused and has since stopped responding to my messages. I paid £280 for what turned out to be fake and faulty car keys not fit for purpose, to then suffer a break-in and theft as a result. Avoid at all costs.

Locksmithing isn't government-regulated in the UK, so anyone can trade as one. The Master Locksmiths Association vets, inspects and background-checks its members - a useful extra assurance for this trade.
Find an MLA-approved locksmithGet the call-out fee AND the total price agreed in writing before they set off. Emergency locksmith overcharging is a common complaint.
Be wary of anyone who insists on drilling the lock straight away: most locks can be picked open, and drilling then selling a replacement is a known upsell.
Look for a locksmith approved by the Master Locksmiths Association. The MLA vets and inspects its members, and locksmithing is otherwise unregulated.
