Why open an account

Everything You Get

A trade account isn't just a discount. It's a different way of working — built around how garages, dealerships, and fleet operators actually operate.

£

Trade Pricing

Volume and account-based rates on every job. Your pricing is locked to your account — no haggling, no surprises. The more you send, the better it gets.

30

Credit Terms

Net 30 available for approved accounts. Monthly statements, clean invoicing, and no chasing. Pay on terms that work for your cash flow.

AM

Named Account Manager

One person who knows your account, your vehicles, and your preferences. Direct line — not a call queue. Continuity you can rely on.

24

Priority Turnaround

Same-day turnaround as standard for trade accounts. Urgent jobs flagged and fast-tracked. Your customers don't wait, and neither do you.

3

Three Service Channels

Walk-in to our workshop, request a mobile call-out, or post the key to us. Same trade pricing across all three — use whichever suits the job.

No Minimums

One job or fifty — same trade rates, same service level. No volume commitments, no contracts. Use us when you need us.

JS

Job Status Updates

Progress tracking on every job. Know exactly where a key is in the process — submitted, in progress, or ready for collection.

MS

Monthly Statements

Clean, itemised statements every month. Every job, every cost, every vehicle — easy to reconcile and pass through to your customers.

DL

Dealer-Level Equipment

Autel IM608 Pro, Lonsdor, Zed-Full, and more. We invest in the tooling so you don't have to. All makes, all transponder systems.

Phone your account manager, email us, or use the trade portal. We need the vehicle make, model, year, and job type. A quote is confirmed before we start — usually within the hour.
