“Needed a second key for my F80 BMW M3 and after looking round, found Bedfordshire Auto Locks to be not only offer a great price but great service too. All questions and queries answered promptly and also very accommodating doing the job at my partner’s work. There was a small mistake whereby the keys didn’t quite match colour-wise, but it was an honest mistake which they rectified within 24 hours. We all make mistakes and didn’t take away from our 10/10 experience. Have already recommended to friends and family and would definitely use again. Many thanks!”

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
“I cannot rate Bedfordshire Autolocks highly enough. From the initial enquiry to completion of the job, dealing with Andy has been a breeze. He arrived on time and completed the job without any hassle. He also fixed the key I had been given with the new car, at no extra cost I would highly recommend them.”
Detailed reviews
These are the individual reviews we hold for Bedfordshire Auto Locks, including the highlights above. The 23 headline total is the review volume reported across public review sources.
Andy Fensom was engaged to create a duplicate car key. However, during his 3.5-hour visit, he rendered my vehicle inoperable, deleted the original key, and left it unusable in the driveway. Subsequent repairs by another company were required to correct the damage he caused, including boot lining damage, harm to major components, and complete vehicle disablement. Mr. Fensom's subsequent claim that the issue is my responsibility, despite his admitted lack of understanding of the situation, is unacceptable. His demonstrably incompetent performance.

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.

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.
