Default Big thanks to Murray at Subaru Replacement Key Services UK

Would just like to say a big thank you to Murray (Muzza80 on here) at Subaru Replacement Key Services for sorting me out with two new remote central locking flip keys.

Having lost my spare set of keys I needed to get another set sorted as I was down to my last key but Subaru wanted circa £300 just for a single key; Timpsons wanted £179 for a new key with remote central locking ( I kid you not), or £70 for a manual key. I came across Subaru Replacement Key Services on Facebook and at first was a bit skeptical about sending my only key to a stranger from Facebook. However, I decided to take the plunge and I'm so glad I did. I now have two quality remote flip keys which are better quality than my original Subaru key. Pairing them up with the central locking was no problem either, done in less than 2 minutes.

Murray was absolutely brilliant and kept me up-to-date via FB messenger with each stage of the process.

It's refreshing to be on the receiving end of this kind of customer service for a change. Top marks !!!

I've been looking about for getting a spare key for mine. Will definitely look him up. Do you no if it makes any difference if it a import. Thanks.

It was £150 for the pair or £80 for a single. You'll also need to pay for special delivery both ways, so another £14 to take into consideration.

Mine's an Irish import Hawkeye without the standard UK sigma alarm or keypad; he does JDM imports too:

Facebook Post

I did message him before hand to ensure that there would be no issue with mine being a euro import and there wasn't.

Best thing to do is drop him a message. He will get back to you and explain the whole process.

Another thumbs up for Murray. Had a 'spare' made for my 07 wagon and it was turned around in 2 days. Paired the key and now it'll be my daily key as it's a flip item.

Very common for the keyring eyelet to break. just by the blanks from china, he can cut a copy.

Sadly its £3-400 for a compete keyless fob plus programing
