What Our Customers Say
Real reviews from drivers across Wigan, St Helens and the North West
“Absolutely brilliant service. Lost my only key to my Ford Focus at Wigan Retail Park. Ian arrived within 45 minutes, cut and programmed a new key in under an hour. Saved me a fortune compared to the dealer quote I'd already had. Can't recommend highly enough.”
“Adam came out at 11pm when I'd locked myself out of my Vauxhall Astra near St Helens. He was calm, professional, and had me back in the car within 30 minutes. The price was very fair and I was incredibly relieved. I've saved the number for life.”
“My Renault Megane card stopped working and Renault dealer wanted 10 days and nearly £300. Adam sorted it at my home in Bolton the same afternoon for much less. Brilliant father and son team — proper honest traders. Exactly what you want when you're stressed.”
“The key broke off in my BMW ignition on the A49 at 7am. Ian answered immediately, came to the roadside, extracted the broken piece and cut me a new key. Total lifesaver. I genuinely don't know what I'd have done without him. Absolute professional.”

Common Questions About Car Key Replacement
The cost depends on your vehicle make, model, and key type. Standard transponder keys typically start from £95 with Excalibur Auto Locksmiths — up to 60% less than what Wigan's main dealers charge. Remote key fobs start from around £75, and smart/proximity keys from £150. Call 07831 872 740 for an exact quote for your vehicle.
In most cases, Ian or Adam can reach you within one hour anywhere in Wigan, St Helens, or the surrounding North West area. For very rural locations or during peak traffic periods, we'll give you an honest ETA on the call. We won't over-promise. Call 07831 872 740 and we'll tell you straight.
Yes — Excalibur covers all major makes and models sold in the UK, including Ford, Vauxhall, Volkswagen, Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Renault, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, and many more. If we haven't programmed a particular make, it's extremely unusual. Call us to confirm before making any alternative arrangements.
Yes, consistently. Main dealers charge for OEM parts, dealer labour rates, programming licence fees, and their own margin. Excalibur uses quality compatible hardware and professional programming equipment without the dealer overhead. Most customers save 40–60% compared to their main dealer quote. Call 07831 872 740 for a direct comparison.
This is our specialism. Every modern vehicle sold in the UK since 1998 uses a transponder system, and the majority of post-2015 vehicles use smart key or proximity systems. Ian and Adam carry dealer-grade programming equipment for all these systems. The process takes slightly longer than a mechanical-only key but is entirely done on-site at your location.
Don't Let a Lost Key Ruin Your Day
One call to Ian or Adam and we'll have you sorted. We carry the equipment for virtually every modern vehicle and can usually reach you within the hour — anywhere across the North West.
