Owner-operated
When you ring Cornwall Autokeys, you're speaking to Ben — owner, on-the-road auto locksmith, and the bloke who'll actually be cutting your key. No call centres, no subcontractors, no overseas dispatch. One phone, one van, one trained pair of hands across Cornwall.
The business runs on the only thing that matters in this trade: doing the job properly the first time. That's why 60-plus customers have left five-star Google reviews — most of them mentioning Ben by name. It's why the AA call him for tourist lockouts when their own kit can't handle a job. And it's why holidaymakers from across the country end up with his number saved in their phone.
The kit in the van handles every modern transponder, smart key, and proximity fob — Ford, Vauxhall, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, VW, Toyota, Land Rover, plus most commercial vans and a growing list of EVs. If a job can be done on-site, Ben does it on-site. If it can't, he tells you that on the phone before either of you waste a journey.
