    Awful company. Sent an email regarding the dangerous driving of one of the van drivers and got this…read moreas a reply. I think this is a completely unacceptable way for anyone to behave, especially the 'manager' of the company. If they feel this is an acceptable way in which to speak to people, I dread to think what they are like with customers. Avoid at all costs! 'Joanne, I have spoken with the engineer in question and I think you have made his week! I have not heard any one laugh that loud in a long time. He asked me if I realised that it was in fact Thursday today, and not Sunday, and that if I realised that if you are driving in the outside lane and holding other road users up and driving inconsiderately, the consequently other drivers will get upset and work around your bad driving habit. In future you should give serious thought, to the standard of your driving, not to inconvenience other road users as you don't know how to use the roads forcing other people to drive in a manner that they don't actually want to do. Our engineers drive hundreds of miles every day for business purposes. This is a clear situation of a casual driver who doesn't know what they are doing on the roads, which in my opinion is far more dangerous than anything listed below. Hope you have a wonderful day, Rhys General Manager'

    I worked as a service engineer with keybury for nearly 2 years. A typical day includes getting your…read morejobs through ans covering a massive radius of 300 miles in my case from Aberystwyth to chepstoow and everywhere in between. No training plan in place, no user manual for the alarms so going in blind effectively. The head office taught me nothing ans sent me into the field with other engineers until I could do jobs myself. Management including the delivery manager is useless he likes to think because he has been there for 30 years he owns the place when realistically he doesn't. Pushes to get extra jobs out of you most day and when I complained because when the job is 70 miles away from home in the middle of the afternoon threatened me with disciplinary action. When challenged and questioned about a better viable and more efficient way to do this by sending an engineer who was closer you are told and I quote "to go or you will be dragged up to the office for a disciplinary." He has no man management skills, no support system in place always knows better than you and you are always in the wrong. That is not how Management works in my eyes. Workplace culture and morale is low no engineer is ever happy there as you have to work on call and be on standby for no extra payment on weekends (at the time) so no work life balance effectively. They will tell you to be on standby on the phone as first instance then attend call outs for NO EXTRA pay in your own time on the weekend. As you can imagine I refused to do this. That yet again didnt go down well with management. Hospital appointments? Doctors? You will be docked wages out of your pay even if you book an afternoon appointment. No consideration for work/ life balance, HR don't have a clue and make you do your own vehicle tax even though it is their vehicle. Messed my tax code up so many times and tried to say it was HMRC's fault. Very stringent, tight family run business who take more than they give. They want you working earning them money constantly because they are greedy. The icing on the cake was my boss showing up unannounced to one of my my jobs to let me go because I asked for a reference as I was leaving to a more secure job. Put me on gardening leave for just over a week and had to pay me wages for sitting in the house. This is how ruthless they are as a company. I worked hard for them for my time there and my thanks was that when I wanted to better myself and go for a more secure job which suited me better. Overall an awful greedy family company to work for who do not deserve good hard working and honest staff working for them. Think twice before joining them as the pay, holidays, sickness pay are all terrible too

    Below is the level of customer care you should expect. This was after an engineer drilled a hole…read moreinto the wrong wall and we had to pay a decorator. "We have one of your alarm systems and a battery needs replacing in a sensor. Could you let me know what type of battery we require? Also the alarm system currently wont work as the battery shows up as a fault and wont let me turn on the alarm, any ideas?" Response 1 from Keybury Good afternoon Mark Thank you for your email. If the system isn't currently on a maintenance contract with us we could get an engineer out to you for a call out fee of £90 + VAT. This would allow the engineer up to 1 hour on site to resolve any issues you are having. If it is found that any replacement parts are needed then these would be additional on top. If you would like to book a visit please can you provide the full address and I will advise when we can get someone out to you. Kind regards Sarah Greenwood Sales Administrator My reply I'd just like to know what battery I need to purchase to replace the dead one with please? Keybury response 2 Unfortunately we are unable to offer technical support if there isn't a current maintenance contract in place. As mentioned below we can arrange for an engineer to attend for the non-contract fee of £90 + VAT. Kind regards Sarah Greenwood Sales Administrator

    Unfortunately my experience with Lock & Roll ended badly…read more In April this year I had lost my one and only car key when looking online I came across Lock & Roll they were fairly priced and local which was great Unfortunately my car wasn't as straight forward as Lock & Roll thought - I was without keys for 3 days and once we thought it was done when getting in my car my indicators didn't work, no clock on my screen and a error message saying my stabilisation was off and needs to go straight to BMW. When contacting back Lock & Roll I was told it should clear in a day or 2 of which obviously I responded to say this needs to be done asap as my car isn't safe to drive. Lock and Roll reattend and took the main board from my car back to his house and advised he needed to speak to some gurus as he hasn't come across this before he came back the following day with it and advised it was sorted. Intermittently since then my windows have been going up and down by themselves or the buttons just not working, along with my radio screen coming on and off, freezing and now is completely dead. Today I got back in contact with Lock and Roll and explained the above situation to see if there was any warranty on his work of which he relied ' Does the car start? does it drive? And is the remote central locking working?Key is fine. I understand these sort of thing are trail and error however but the way I've been spoken to was not on at all. There were numerous messages back and forth between us of which Lock & Roll have said it is nothing to do with them and is not related to their work, which is odd as the first time this happened he come back out to fix the problem. Personally I would not use or recommend Lock & Roll, I am now left with a car which only half works don't get me wrong once this has been investigated now I'm taking it further and it turns out it's not down to the fault of Lock & Roll I will amend my review.
