Due to ULEZ tax my car had to go. Second hand car sold with only 1 key! Main dealer wanted over £300 to produce a second key!!! Found this business online and read reviews. The team came straight to my door, 5 star service. Will definitely spread the word! Highly recommended.

Would absolutely recommend! What a lovely experience given how annoying it is to have to get a new set of car keys. Very professional, stellar customer service & great chat! Will definitely use him again when I inevitably lose this new set (Lol!)

Second time I have used this company. Both times have been 5 star service. Very good. Met me half way (distance) to sort out a new key. Very reasonable price and friendly service. I would definitely use again and happily recommend to anyone else.

These guys could not be more helpful and courteous. My fob on my car was not working and they came to my house. They arrived on time and texted me when they were on their way which I really appreciated. They made a new fob within the time they said it would take which worked perfectly. A few days later they helped me to try and sort out another problem I had with the car via text messaging me. They were absolutely brilliant and so very kind and helpful. They really went out of their way to help me. I recommend this company to anyone and their details are now on my phone should I get any further issues. You won’t go wrong by ringing this company.Thank you guys. 👍😁

Friendly & efficient same day service! From the 1st phone call to the payment on completion of the job, (which was half the price that I thought I would have to pay!!) Keys4Cars really deserve these 5 stars, I can’t recommend them highly enough!! Thank you

Excellent service. Spoke late at night as I locked keys in boot.. meet me early morning and managed to solve my issue within minutes of arriving. Very nice guy and polite, would definitely recommend and prices are good compared to the ones your insurance would provide.

Absolute amazing service last night. Partner had her car keys stolen, called these guys up and within 45mins, they’d arrived at around 22:00 to create me new keys to protect the car.He gained access to her car, coded 2 new keys and used his tools to delete the old keys from the car so the thief couldn’t take it.All this was done whilst he explained everything he’s doing and answered all my stupid questions.I’ve saved his number and anything lock related now I will definitely use these guys again!

Shane came out to my work today, re-cased both my broken keys. Half the quoted price of a Kia replacement for one. Great service and excellent value. Thank you!

Fantastic, friendly service, I had locked myself out of the car at the local railway station. Immediate response from the guys who were also equipped to retrieve the spare car key that had accidentally been dropped down a drain. I would thoroughly recommend.

Excellent service, My key snapped in the ignition leaving me stranded. I called multiple 24hr locksmiths noone could be bother to come out, it was to late...!? I came across key4cars. Not only did he come out within the hour (when on boby else would!) The job was done in ten minutes and I was on my way. I will definitely be using again if in need and I would highly recommend.

Super efficient, polite, professional and a perfect job cutting and programming a spare key for our Skoda. The home callout element is really convenient. 100% recommended

Great service - they were very flexible about timing and fitted us in quickly. They fixed one key at a reasonable price and have offered to get in touch if a second “preloved” key becomes available, versus buying a brand new one at great expense. Much appreciated.

First time having to deal with a car locksmith and could not have asked for a better person than Shane. My car ignition was not starting and steering wheel locked up every time I moved the steering wheel.Shane was great, truly an experienced car engineer. I had RAC called over and they were not able to do anything for me. But Shane had all the tools and the spare part I needed for my car. Did not take him long at all to work out what was wrong and managed to fix the problem within half an hour.Every other car locksmith I tried was telling they are not free until a few days later.If you ever need a car locksmith Shane is the perfect person for the job. Thank you so much for your help mate. 10/10 experience.

I am very pleased with a service. Contacted the company on a Saturday and had the key done on Sunday. The key had a manufacture defect as it was the last one:) I had to lock the car manually, but was able to go to work on Monday. The following week once a new key arrived the pleasant young man came and replace it within 5 minutes. Quick response, fantastic service and excellent price for 7 days available service. Keep up a good work:)

Wickford Trivia

Is your neighbour a Trinovante?
No one quite knows exactly when humans first began setting in Wickford. What we do know from history is that there were settlers even in prehistoric times; most likely by a tribe of ancient Britons known as “Trinovantes”. Of course, we’ve no idea if any descendants actually still live in Wickford but it’s reasonable to speculate that they do!

Roman occupation
In more recent times, there was a Roman military camp on the site of Beauchamps Farm and a roman villa can also be found there. This is where Beauchamps High School is. Historically, The area on higher ground was central Wickford of old – i.e. the manor house and St Catherine’s. However, Wickford’s commercial centre has moved to the other side of the River Crouch now.

Name origin
The name ‘Wickford’ gets a mention in a Saxon charter of 995 as “Wicford”; The Domesday Book records it as Wincfort, meaning “ford by a wych elm” or “ford by a dairy-farm”.
