Auto-keys of Shropshire

Ranked 10 of 11 in Locksmiths in Telford

Sole Trader

Newport · Service area: Telford, Newport, Shropshire

Our verdict

Our judgement: a tidy small operator for spare keys and non-urgent car-key work, with encouraging customer accounts on its own site. History and pricing are undocumented. Before booking, ask for the total key-plus-coding price and how soon they can reach you [1].

Industry qualifications

Can't be sourced. We looked at the issuing registers, the business's own website and platforms such as Checkatrade and Which? Trusted Traders and found no scheme membership or registration to record.

Ratings on other sites

Recorded with source, scale, count and the date read. These are not our own ratings.

Strengths

  • You get a clear mobile auto-locksmith offer: lost and spare car keys cut and programmed at your location across Shropshire, with card payments accepted [1].

  • The site carries detailed customer reviews describing prompt work and fair pricing, behind a listing at 4.9 from 28 Google reviews seen 3 September 2026 [1][3].

Limitations

  • No trading history is documented on the site and no company appears on the public record, so longevity cannot be scored [1][2].

  • No prices, call-out terms or insurance details are published, which leaves money and cover unchecked before you call [1].
