Childhood friends turned business partners, we founded Autelix out of a shared passion for cars and technology.

Jake brings over 15 years of locksmith experience and has been teaching auto opening courses since 2016. Callum complements this with deep expertise in electronics, programming, and cybersecurity - from repairing laptops to working with ICs and EEPROM data. Together, we saw the gap in Nottingham: too few full-range auto locksmiths, long wait times, and customers left paying dealership premiums (plus towing). Autelix was our answer: a mobile, expert-led service that gets drivers back on the road quickly and fairly.

Our Mission

We built Autelix to give Nottingham drivers a faster, more reliable alternative to dealer waits and inflated costs. Our mission is simple: be the first call when you’re locked out, stuck, or need secure new keys.

At the same time, we aim to be a trusted long-term partner for businesses, garages, and fleet operators who need consistent, expert locksmith support. By combining speed, technical depth, and genuine care, we make sure every customer — individual or commercial — feels confident and supported.

Our Name

Autelix is a play on auto electrics — chosen during a football match where a 96th-minute winner settled the decision. It reflects both our passion for vehicles and the energy we put into solving problems under pressure.

Looking Ahead

Though we’re a startup, our vision is clear: to become Nottingham’s go-to automotive locksmith, trusted by everyday drivers, fleet operators, and eventually dealerships too. With every job, we’re building that reputation — one safe, successful fix at a time.
