Auto Access

17 Years in the Automotive Industry, One New Trade

I’ve spent 17 years in the automotive industry and 17 years running my own businesses. Before Auto Access, I ran a paint repair and detailing business for 15 years. In 2023, a combination of a difficult landlord situation and my own health meant it was time to close that chapter.

I didn’t want to leave the automotive industry I’d built my career in, so I retrained, learning car key programming and diagnostics from the ground up. Becoming SERMI registered gave me the manufacturer level access to do the job properly, and going mobile meant I could build a business that worked with my health rather than against it, not just for me but for my customers too. I come to you, wherever you are.

So while I’ve been a dedicated auto locksmith for 2 years, it’s backed by 15 years of hands on automotive business experience before that. This is not a trade I picked up overnight

My Ethos: Honesty and Transparency on Every Job

Before I was self employed, I worked in the hire industry as a branch and sales manager for several companies. That’s where I learned what actually matters in business: looking after the customer properly. It’s stuck with me through 17 years of running my own companies, and it’s the same standard I hold myself to now: honest pricing, no upselling, no call out fee, and doing right by the people I work for.

That’s also why there’s no VAT charged, why every job comes with a 12 month warranty, and why I’m DBS checked and fully insured, so you know exactly who’s coming to your car and what you’re paying for, before I arrive.
