To buy a battery on its own was only £2 and to have it fitted was £5.99. The battery was changed instantly for me, I would definitely come back knowing that they are cheaper than Timpsons

I popped, nay limped, in here to grab a pair of heel grips for a pair of boots. Quick as you like,…read moreI'd been given a pair and handed over my money while chatting away. Sneaky man that he was though, was trying to find out what my heel grips were for! Next thing I know, he's handing me back my money and getting me to take my boots off in the middle of the shop so he can have a look at what was bothering me. Nope, heel grips weren't the answer... He explained what was causing my discomfort (complete with drawing me a diagram) and suggested putting an insert in to see if that helped. He's given me something temporary so I've to try them out and see if they work and go back to him after a few days then he'll either work out something else for me or take out the temporary ones and fix them permanently into the boots. With my boots back on, I asked how much I owed him - not a thing! Absolutely amazing service. *skips off happily...*

Five stars? For a locksmith? But WHY?…read more My bathroom door shut and wouldn't let me back in. It was a Bank Holiday. Enter Mr. David Nimmo of Elite Mobile Locksmiths, open 24/7/365. He fixed my problem, informed me how I could avoid having to call someone out in the future, and was absolutely hilarious in the process! I'll gladly use him again if my flat decides to gang up on me once more.

I had David come out to fix a new handle and lock on my front door (one that is un-snappable,…read moreun-drillable and pretty much impossible to break into!) which I would recommend for anyone who has moved into a new house and/or has an old style lock in their UPVC door. David came out the same day to give a free quote and then came back a few days later to fit the new gear. It only took him fifteen minutes and was a good price for the piece of mind given! If you're after your locks changed, you've been locked in/out your place or for any other related issues, I'd definitely recommend David. He also takes card.

Work needed me to get some keys cut because I've now become a responsible person, I'll have you…read moreknow. I'm going to be a key holder or as I like to call myself the Key Master, still looking for the Gatekeeper though. I heard the shop in Govan was bit dear so did a bit o' Googling and came across Keys Galore in Cessock. I also checked Yelp but it only had the address and number so I thought what if someone else ends up in my position hence me being the first to review. Yay! It's like walking into a grandad's workshop. There were two old men, one sitting in a comfy arm chair by the window and another sitting in chair made out of a beer barrel, sitting beside a matching beer barrel cabinet. Very cool might I add. So the guy in the beer barrel seat got up and I showed him the keys needing cut. I couldn't believe my eyes at the amount of keys on the walls, yes walls. It put Timpson to shame, it was like an Aladdin's cave of keys. Ooooh! The place was pretty shabby but in a good way, if that makes sense. You can tell this place has been here for many many years as there was lots of thingimijigs of stuff I've no idea what they were. Stickers stuck to various places that you know were probably stuck there in the 80s and have been there ever since. The man had to check a type of key I needed so he called up a company just to check, he certainly knew his keys though. He found the keys he needed and they were done in minutes. He was such a lovely man and his friend kept me company with a bit conversation about the weather, also found out the owner's only got one leg. Ah the things that come up in conversations. Overall it was a good experience, the price was a little dearer than I had hoped but I think nowadays anywhere you go is going to be a bit more expensive. It was hop, skip and a jump from Cessock underground and it also meant I could grab my lunch from Cherry and Heather's across the road. Yipee!! Check out the raving reviews. http://www.yelp.co.uk/biz/cherry-and-heather-glasgow#query:Cherry%20and%20Heather%20Fine%20Foods

A one stop shop for all your pesty repairs, key cutting and the like. This is a tiny shop situated…read moreon Clarkston Road, closer to the Cathcart end than the Clarkston end. It's bright blue shop front makes it easy to spot and really makes an impact on this main road. The shop sign itself states very clearly what this business provides - though, does not so clearly make the business name known. For this reason, I've ingeniously named/nicknamed it Watch Repairs Etc. This is due to watch repairs being the first service listed on the sign, hence (possibly) their primary service and/or area of business. However, they also dabble in key cutting, shoe repairs and engraving. So this is an excellent all rounder of a shop. They are also, to my knowledge, not listed in any other websites or directory papers etc. Thus, they remain something of a little known secret. This is perhaps why they are usually fairly quiet (hence service is quick, efficient and to a high standard), reasonably priced and take the extra time to provide quality customer service. All of which are pleasant surprises and something of a dying bred in the retail world.

This place is like a stall in the Barras really run down and no price list and no receipt so didn't have much confidence however it turned out all 3 keys I got made worked fine and are very smooth in the lock. Hopefully if business picks up this place can look a bit better. They also advertise shoe repair here however yelp doesn't have that category yet so currently listed this business only in keys and locksmiths. However this is not a lock smith just key cutting.

Glued, waterproofed with glue on a crack, then polished black to hide the glue. All this for a grand total of £2 I'm well happy with the job. My grandfather was a cobbler for over 25 years with Mister Minit, so I was telling them this and having a chat. Now a days as a cobbler they do more than fix shoes, watch straps and cut keys. They actually fix mobile phones too. Bring all your old shoes here and get them made like new. Thanks guys

Their prices are very reasonable, so maybe this is why - nowhere else in the West End have I found a cheaper deal than their 4 items drycleaned for a tenner - which includes leather and suade items, and either one dress or jacket per batch. Silk is included too - which is great when you can pay huge amounts at other drycleaners to keep your delicate items in shape (oo-er). The staff were pretty intense- to the point that I wondered if the chap who spoke to me was high on more than just life, but he was friendly and accomodating none-the-less, and very forceful in sharing the box of sweets on the counter. I had my 8 items worth of clothes back in three days, and they were perfectly clean and unstained. Although do smell a liiiittle bit like a new car... hence the 4 stars rather than 5.
