Most fleet operators handle key problems one of three ways: sending the van to a main dealer (expensive, slow, VAT-bearing), calling a national locksmith company (call centre, subcontractor, unknown quality) or having no plan at all until an emergency strikes.
Aaron offers a fourth option: a direct mobile specialist with dealer-level equipment, no VAT, no call-out fee, and a single point of contact who attends every job personally. For businesses with 2–20 vehicles across South and West Yorkshire, this is consistently the most cost-effective approach.
The commercial value compounds over time. A spare key programmed for each van — from £110 per vehicle — eliminates the all-keys-lost scenario completely. A standing relationship with Aaron means that when a lockout happens at 7am on a job site, there’s a name and number that answers immediately. No call centre. No 40-minute wait on hold. See the Auto Locksmith Association guidance on fleet locksmith services for further context on industry best practice.
No VAT added to Aaron’s prices. No call-out fee. Indicative dealer pricing — actual prices vary.
Setting Up Fleet Cover With Aaron
There’s no complex contract or sign-up process. Aaron works with businesses on a straightforward per-job basis — same pricing transparency as his personal customers, same direct contact.
Call Aaron and describe your business, how many vehicles you run, what makes you operate and where your vehicles are based. He’ll confirm coverage and give you per-job pricing for your specific fleet.
Aaron’s first recommendation for any fleet is spare key programming for every vehicle — starting with whichever van has no spare. A £110 investment per van eliminates the most disruptive and expensive scenario: all-keys-lost.
Save Aaron’s number. When a lockout, lost key or key problem happens anywhere in the coverage area, you call Aaron directly. He attends personally, no subcontractor, no call centre delay.
For businesses that prefer invoiced payment, Aaron can arrange this. Call to discuss — terms are straightforward and flexible for regular business customers.
Aaron is available 24/7 for emergency callouts. For planned jobs — new fleet additions needing key coding, or vehicles due a spare — Aaron can schedule visits during regular hours.
Aaron is not a locksmith company — he’s an individual specialist. This means your business always deals with the same person who knows your fleet, remembers your vehicles and gives you a straight answer. No escalation, no hold music, no “we’ll get back to you”.
Representative Example: Small Plumbing Business, Barnsley
This represents a typical small fleet arrangement — a trades business with multiple vans that now uses Aaron as their standing auto locksmith contact.
A plumbing business in Barnsley called Aaron after one of their Ford Transit drivers was locked out on a job in Wombwell. Aaron attended within 35 minutes and opened the van non-destructively. During that visit, Aaron pointed out that none of their three vans had a spare key — and explained the cost difference between a spare key today (£110) vs an all-keys-lost job (£200+).
The business booked Aaron to programme spare keys for all three vans at their yard in Barnsley. The job was done in under two hours. Aaron’s number is now saved by the business owner and their two drivers. He has since handled one additional lockout and one key fob replacement for the Vivaro.
