I have wasted £750 to learn nothing just listening to Lewis stories he was making £2000 aday these stories cost me 3 days and £750+ fuel. If like to listen to his stories then book it now. Don't expect you will learn anything. Good luck 👍 💓 ✨️ 💗

I recently attended the 3 day Auto locksmith course with the OBD company and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The course was well structured, and the level of teaching was top notch.The atmosphere was very relaxed and Lewis the tutor was happy to help and answer any questions we had and provide additional advice where needed.All in all, I really enjoyed the 3 days spent on the course and and I will attend more of the OBD's courses in the near future.

The course was very good, I learnt a lot and enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend it for everybody. Lewis the trainer is very knowledgeable at his young age and he knows a lot about the industry. I wish him and everybody in the company successful work. I am very grateful for their help and extremely grateful for their kind treatment. Thank you.

I attended the 3 day auto locksmith course. The course was great full of content that explained the jobs that I could have and all the tools for different types of jobs, more than I could learn on YouTube. Lewis was a great teacher and a nice lad who clearly knows his stuff. I will be back in the future on further course to add to my skills. Thanks obd 🤝

Courses were very worthwhile. Lewis was very informative and knowledgeable. Tracey, who took our initial phone call, took the time to explain what every course aimed for and, overall, is the main reason we decided to go with the OBD Company. Thanks again!

Amazing course Lewis teaches you and shows you exactly what to do. Definitely worth the money and going there again can't wait to start my auto lock smith course in September then can start my business would recommend OBD company to anyone.

Did the 3 day beginner auto locksmith course and loved it. Lewis has a vast amount of knowledge and was easy to talk too especially when I had no idea (no fault of his). My only advice is to don't think you will know everything when you've finished the course. It's set up to make see what equipment you need and how not to burn 10k on kit you don't need. This job is a lesson every day. He will show you the path you need to follow, it's up to you to learn as you go.Highly recommendRye Lindsay

A waste of £300 plus travel expenses and gained nothing. Five minutes practical and watching videos from YouTube about mileage correction. All of which I could have done at home at zero cost. Stay away!!

Hi I'm was impressed by Lewis how much he explained I'm really looking forward to get another course with him he is Very specific with explanation if you ask questions and we can fill there not like in the class room only like you exchange information between to friends that's what you need I was very comfortable with all time also I'm picking up what really I do wrong and I improve my self by that days be there I really recommend that company

I recently completed The OBD Company's 6 day Automotive Workshop and it was an incredible experience! Lewis, our instructor, was knowledgeable, patient, and made the learning experience enjoyable. The course is designed for complete beginners and covers all aspects of the field, from remapping to programming, key cutting, lock picking, and more.The course was structured perfectly with a mix between classroom, practical, and audio/video home study content. This allowed us to apply the knowledge we learned in the classroom to real-world scenarios, making the learning experience more engaging and effective.I appreciated the hands-on approach to learning, as it gave me the opportunity to gain practical experience and feel confident in my abilities. I can confidently say that I left the course with the skills necessary to succeed in the field.Overall, I highly recommend The OBD Company and Lewis as an instructor. The course was well-structured, engaging, and comprehensive. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

My 3 day auto locksmith’s course which i completed last Saturday was fantastic, Lewis our trainer explained everything he taught us in great detail but in a way that wasn’t overwhelming or daunting in any way. On completion of the course I feel that the course has left me with the knowledge and confidence to enable me to crack on with my long term plan of working in the industry and further my company ambitions in a professional way. I have been in the process of setting up my business for some time now and i firmly believe that achieving the qualification that I achieved on this course is the final part of the jigsaw needed to succeed in the field. I can honestly say that the course is absolutely first class in every aspect. I’d like to thank Lewis and everyone involved in the OBD company for there professionalism so thank you Lewis for sharing your knowledge kind regards Danny Barr

Great courses! I completed the 6 day automotive training workshop. Highly recommend booking the whole package, its the best value for money with massive savings to be had over booking individually. The instructor Lewis is a true master of his crafts. Learn from the best!

Ian Armstrong

21:19 12 Dec 20

I did a lot of research into various Auto Locksmith courses prior to booking with the OBD Company, The prices of the 'bigger' companies (and smaller) where massive by comparison and spread over more days which would add to the cost by having to take more time off work and hotel costs.The course itself covered everything I expected it to and a great deal more, Lewis the trainer delivered the content exceptionally well and in an easy to absorb way, taking his time to answer all questions and not move on until he knew we 'got it'.Lewis clearly knows his stuff and has gave me great confidence and knowledge which I will be using to expand my existing domestic locksmith business.The course is outstanding value and Im sure I will be attending futre courses with OBD company...It will be my first port of call.Thanks again Lewis - greatly appreciated

Attended the Mileage Correction and Auto Locksmith course. My experience with The OBD Company was outstanding! Having come to the course with some prior research, I thought I’d already know much of what is being said and would only be brushing up missing pieces in my understanding. Boy was I wrong, Lewis (the course instructor), provided me with plentiful resources that helped me gain a better understanding into the automotive locksmithing industry. Lewis answered all my questions thoroughly and even offered me a way of contacting the team for support after the course had concluded. Thanks guys!

Couldn’t recommend The OBD Company enough! Thanks guys

Great company to get started with ECU remapping, with a very good crew of after sales helpers!In my honest opinion it’s the best way to get into remapping and the training is very friendly!Just be careful what you ask for in a file, make sure you have everything asked for in full as this growing company will only do what you ask them, if you forget you have to be charged again! Which is fair enough so just a heads up!Great company!You definitely feel part of something big!

Was a bit dubious about changing my career at the ripe old age of 38, especially when it involved using computers, however, I highly recommend this course and especially the people at OBD, it’s a great course and after a shaky start on my own I’m now up and running and loving it, I actually enjoy waking up to go to work and for that I can’t thank lewis and his team enough... very knowledgeable guy, very helpful and patient, thanks to all at The OBD Company

Unfortunately only 5 stars available on Google to rate. The OBD company definetely deserves more. Excellent company to deal with. Fast, efficient and best of all. They get the job done perfectly the first time around. Was fortunate to have been trained by Lewis whilst he was running a training programme in S.A. Well done to Lewis, Amie and the rest of the team. Keep up the good work.

Had Training with this company about 2 years ago and I have to say if you really want to provide professional remapping service to your customers you need Tools like 'LEWIS' in your Toolbox. Whatever I have learnt on the Training Day was, no doubt, good value for money but the Training that I've kept receiving (even till now...and going) is priceless. Really PRO and HONEST guidance towards my success.

THE OBD COMPANY
Lewis is very good teacher and you can learn a lot from him who ever not agree with that it's different if you don't concentrate on the learning you never learn to attend only to get certificate it's not enough it's many other teaching classes like that but I was checking before I attended and was very good reviews about and for good money and I plan to do other courses with them in very close future I pick lots of information from Lewis and helping me with my business as well because I can trust with opinion about what he said
I'm from Norwich Sebastian S&G PERFORMANCE LTD and find them online I was attending for remapping and immobilizer

I recently completed the 4-day Auto Locksmith Training Course at The OBD Company in Chesterfield, and it was an incredibly valuable experience. The course was well-organized and covered a wide range of essential topics, perfect for both beginners and those with some experience looking to build on their skills.

Right from the start, the team made me feel welcome. Special shout-out to Tracey on the front desk—she was friendly, helpful, and kept everything running smoothly behind the scenes. Little touches like that really added to the experience.

Lewis, our instructor, was knowledgeable, approachable, and explained everything clearly. He took the time to make sure we all understood the methods and techniques before moving forward, which really helped build confidence.

The hands-on aspect of the course was a major plus. We didn’t just watch—we got stuck in, practicing key programming, lock picking, and using diagnostic tools ourselves. There was also time spent going through different tools used in the trade, along with rough guidance on costs and what kind of setup you’d need to get started. That kind of practical insight is something you don’t always get from other courses.

In terms of value, I genuinely think this course delivers. After comparing several providers, this one stood out not just for the content, but for the post-course support too. Lewis and the team have been approachable and helpful with follow-up questions and also a closed facebook group that helps with any questions or concerns you have from fellow established locksmiths and trainee locksmiths which gives added peace of mind as you get started in the field.

All in all, I’d highly recommend this course to anyone considering a career in auto locksmithing. It’s thorough, hands-on, and gives you both the skills and the real-world info you need to move forward with confidence.

Emil Michalak

12:44 21 May 25

I recently completed the Auto Locksmith Course and the CAN Immobilizer Course with The OBD Company, and I can honestly say it was one of the best training experiences I’ve had.

From the moment I arrived, everything was clearly structured and professionally delivered. Lewis, our tutor, was absolutely outstanding — his knowledge, patience, and real-world experience made all the difference. He explained complex systems in a way that was easy to grasp, always made time for individual questions, and ensured we had plenty of hands-on practice with the latest tools and techniques.

The Auto Locksmith Course gave me a solid foundation in key cutting, key programming, and vehicle entry — with a clear emphasis on practical skills I could immediately apply in the field. The CAN Immobilizer Course was equally impressive, providing in-depth knowledge of modern vehicle security systems and how to work with them safely and effectively.

I left feeling confident and genuinely excited to take my skills to the next level. Whether you’re new to the industry or looking to expand your expertise, I can’t recommend The OBD Company and Lewis highly enough. First-class training all around!

I recently attended the 2 day ECU Remapping course and found it to be well worth the investment, the training was fantastic and thorough and done at a good pace to suite everyone who attended. Lewis is very knowledgeable and explained everything in detail and made sure we understood all of the processes. Really enjoyed the course and would recommend to anyone, Whether you are a beginner or experienced.

Phenomenal experience.

I joined the 2 day remapping course in August.

Lewis has truly been amazing since enquiring with him over the phone before the course to date. Extremely intelligent individual.
Tracy has also been amazing to liaise with.

When enquiring with him about the course before booking. He explained all factors which will be taken place in a excellent manner.
He reassured me that everything I wanted to learn was within the course.

So I booked the course and drove to Derbyshire from London.

We had access to our own logins for a pre learning course and a post learning course which can be reviewed as many times to help learn more and updates added on.

During the course it was great to meet him.
He had the true skills of instructing and teaching.
He explains everything clearly and in detail and assures we all understood before moving on.
He never made any feel silly whatever the questions were asked.
He would ensure that all opportunities were given for any questions and ensured everyone is paying attention so we all can bounce with each other for questions and answers.
He gave us all the opportunity to take part in the course so we all had the chance to feel we can accomplish what we are learning.
We all had the chance to take part in the practicals where he will make sure that we felt confident as ensuring that we can individually complete the tasks.
I learnt more in the course than expected.
He offered various packages at the end of the course to be able to carryout work.
Various packaged enabled me to choose what best suits me including payment plans.
I left the course satisfied with a certificate and full confidence I can carryout the work.
I have also ongoing support with Lewis and the team which has been extremely valuable.
The support has been very useful and again his communication is great.
He explains everything in great detail which helps pass his knowledge on to me and does not make me feel any question is a silly one as I was a beginner when joined and had many questions to ask.
I truly can't explain how amazing he has been to me.

I have 5star feedback from customers I have already carried out work on.

I have absolutely no regrets in taking this course. Extremely excellent value for money.
When I want to expand my business I definitely will be going back to Lewis for the other courses he offers.

I’ve had a great experience so far

I am a firm believer that service is everything I can honestly say Lewis has gone above and beyond to help make sure that I know every thing I need to know with regards to carbon cleaning. Lewis was so clear and well explained to the point I have booked in a remapping
Course that wasn’t planned see you in March

The training was really good and I felt value for money. But for me, it's the aftersales backup that's really helped. Obd always responds to questions through the support ticket. Thanks, guys.

Great company to get started with ECU remapping, with a very good crew of after sales helpers!

In my honest opinion it’s the best way to get into remapping and the training is very friendly!

Just be careful what you ask for in a file, make sure you have everything asked for in full as this growing company will only do what you ask them, if you forget you have to be charged again! Which is fair enough so just a heads up!

Great company!
