Hi all, I’m Andy, based in the Bristol / South Gloucestershire area, and I run Keycontrol Auto Locksmiths. My background is a mixture of practical vehicle work and technical fault-finding. I was a mechanic for many years, so I’m comfortable around vehicles, tools, diagnostics and the mechanical side of the job. More recently I’ve worked in IT infrastructure, which has given me a methodical approach to problem-solving and technical systems. I’m already carrying out auto locksmith work, including vehicle entry, key work, diagnostics and programming, and I’m continuing to build my knowledge and experience across different makes and systems. I’ve joined the forum to speak with others in the trade, pick up proper real-world advice, share experience where useful, and keep improving the way I work. Looking forward to getting involved.

Hi All I have only been doing auto locksmith work for about 18 month and still have a lot to learn. The majority of keys I do is via OBD, but I have added keys via data from ECU, FEM etc. I am located in North East England.
