Case Studies – Auto Locksmith Work in Newbury
Case Study 1 – Fiat Grande Punto (2006)
A Newbury customer lost the only key to their Fiat Grande Punto. The vehicle was completely locked. Our team opened the car and programmed a new remote car key within 30 minutes at their home address.
By comparison, the dealership would have required the vehicle to be recovered, with a 15–30 day waiting time for a new programmed key. The dealership’s quote was significantly higher. Our customer saved weeks of waiting and a large bill.
Case Study 2 – Ford Transit (2016)
Another Newbury client needed a replacement for their Ford Transit van key. We programmed an aftermarket remote key with a changeable battery.
This solution is actually better than the original Ford key, which has a fixed battery that cannot be replaced when it fails. Our customer left with a more reliable, long-term solution — at a much lower cost than a dealer replacement.
