Rip Off Car Dealers and Replacement Car keys

I saw a post on the popular Money Saving Expert forum with a member complaining about a Fiat Coupe car key costing £190 recently. Indeed, it is a surprise for many when visiting an 'official' dealership to seek help. Of course, this is the seemingly obvious place to start, but not if you want to get a cheap resolution to your problem!

The reality is that car dealers have massive overheads. You only need to walk into their purpose built showrooms surrounded by 100+ cars to see that. Labour bills are also high, incredibly the average in London is over £115 an hour according to WhatCar? magazine.

So what can you do? Surprisngly few know that auto locksmiths (or car locksmith, whatever you prefer!) actually exist. Specialists in their chosen field, companies like The Car Key Locksmiths operate a mobile service for ultimate convenience. This mobile service also means low overheads, so the savings are passed on to you, the customer.

So before you pick up the phone to your greedy dealer, who is unlikely to reward your years of loyalty, support the local business community and phone up a car locksmith in your area.
