I locked my car keys in the boot of my car on Magnetic Island early in the new year holidays as we were about to catch the car ferry back to Townville. I rang Will at 9.30 AM and he contacted Holden , got the key code, cut a key and had it on a ferry to the Island by 12 pm. We got the car open and got the next ferry. Super efficient , no fuss and great pricing. We cannot thank Will enough for getting us out of a very stressful situation. Highly recommend.

Called around 11:30am as I had stupidly locked myself out. The lady was picked up the phone was polite and friendly, and someone was out to see me by 12:20. He got the lock sorted quickly, and was also so polite. Would recommend!
