"New car keys cut for £150? Bargain!"

"My partner and I had gone away to a hotel for the bank holiday weekend. As we didn’t use the car while we were there, we left the keys in the room – or so we thought. But when we went to leave we couldn’t find them anywhere.

"When we contacted the local dealership they said that we would have to wait about a week for a new set and that it would cost between £300 and £400! That’s when I called the AA.

"I explained that we were hundreds of miles from home and that we needed to be back at work the next day. About an hour later an AA Key Assist technician turned up. Not only did he have us back on the road in no time at all, but he also cut us two sets of keys for just £150!"
