DO NOT USE! I called Leicester Budget Locksmiths on Saturday 4th December after locking myself out my car. They told me theyd be with me within an hour. After 75 mins they hadnt turned up, therefore I rang them, they told me they would ring me back to let me know what was happening. They never did! I tried to ring back again but nobody answered! Basically leaving me stuck! In the end I got Green Flag out. Absolutely shocking leaving somebody stranded like that in horrendous weather! DO NOT USE!

Rob was a fantastic chap, my window would not shut and also a lock not working. I was due on a night shift with 2 young girls and a wife with my house insecure. He was with me within 30 minutes, replaced my window hinges, and lock. While he was there for no extra fee he even sorted out a cupboard I couldnt get into that had bust. Very Jovial character, that is respectful, safeguarded my family, and delivered a quality of service. Cheers Rob.

Rob was very professional and knowledgeable. Not only did he open the lock he came for but he also adjusted my front and side upvc doors without me asking him to. They now close and lock with ease. Rob is a great asset to the company. Ill definitely recommend him.
