“I had lost my second key. Obviously tried my local Jaguar dealer. After 3 calls, they finally called me back. They quoted me £450. Said that it would take up to 2 hours to make and reprogram the new key. One call to 3D Autokeys — appointment arranged for 3 days later. They came to my home. Chris was here for 30 minutes and presented me with a brand-new Jaguar key, all programmed and working perfectly. Cost £130. What great service and price. They are to be highly recommended.”
