I called the number advertised on Google yesterday, and spoke to a very professional gentleman named Trey. I explained my wifes ignition was sticking in her car, and he offered to come the same afternoon and sort her out! She was working yesterday, but he came today instead and had her sorted in less than 20 minutes, for the cheapest price in town! Turned up exactly when he said he would, and even rang her to let her know he was coming and on his way. Will most definitely recommend Dr. Transponder and Glenelg Locksmiths to others!! Much appreciated Trey and Kim!
