    Excellent service from locksmith company

    Posted 1 day ago

    Ryan from Owen the Locksmith was prompt, efficient and friendly too - he diagnosed the problem with my lock immediately and set about fixing it. I thought the price was very fair, and most importantly he told me when he arrived what it would be!
