“Dean arrives short notice. In the car, battery charged and home after a long flight. NOBODY does it better than the quiet confidence of Dean. Put the number on your phone. Price = fair. DO IT NOW!!”
“I called 7 people tonight and Dean was the only one who actually seemed bothered to help me. Friendly, helpful and sorted out my issue within minutes. Would highly recommend — if I need help again, I’ll be using his services.”
“What a legend. Quick WhatsApp message to arrange a visit for a new key. Arrived on time, great communication throughout. Also fixed an issue with my current key. Fully respected my car and property. Highly recommend.”
“Excellent service and very friendly. Was done in less than 20 minutes. Would highly recommend.”
“Fantastic service 5∗. Called and had a replacement key-fob for my VW Caddy on the same day. DB Car Keys were by far the most competitively priced. Couple of nice, friendly chaps arrived a couple of hours later. Great service — highly recommend.”
“Dean literally is the best guy to put your mind at ease. He was busy, but called when he was free and spent loads of time with me. Incredibly smart and knowledgeable. He did go 100% extra mile. I will recommend him until I’m blue in the face. Thank you so much Dean — you’re a life saver!”
