Just been to York today to get a second remote key for our Smart ForTwo 'Peanut' - hubby rang lots of people about getting one done but they wanted silly money or were quite a distance away from us, however a chap was advertising on Gumtree saying he could do them so we arranged to go today and yup, he can definitely do them, one nice shiny new Smart key for £120 ... new 3-button fob, key, cutting and coding!
Now, why you may ask have I done this post? Well he can also do Fiat Ducato keys too (and I assume Peugeot and Citroen as well) for the princely sum of £100-£120 rather than the £250-£300 Fiat charge! He has genuine professional key cutting/coding equipment (its the version before the current one that Merc now use) so isn't just one of the many 'cowboys' who've just bought a bit of basic kit to do it with. He's also on contract with the RAC and AA for any key issues in his area - in fact he had to go out to a call whilst hubby was there to sort someone out - so obviously knows his stuff.
He is based at Skipton, N Yorks, but also works in York on a couple of mornings a week too, hence why we went there. Although he does offer a mobile service obviously he sticks to his area so don't expect him to travel hundreds of miles!
So if you need a spare key he can do you another. His details are:
Lee Holt: 07892 666 666
Website below but it doesn't have all the info on as to what he can do, hence why I've put it above.
