Mad skills like a Ninja, but not scary like a Ninja.

 HB Auto Lock is the brainchild of Hawke's Bay local, owner-operator, Jeremy Phillips.
Jeremy has a particular passion for automotive locksmithing, which has become quite specialised with the introduction of transponder technology into everyday vehicle security systems.


We service the locals of Hawke's Bay with a fully equipped mobile workshop. We also regularly receive locks and vehicle immobiliser computers to repair from customers all around New Zealand.


"But Jeremy, why would I choose to use HB Auto Lock?"

Good question! The answer is simple. Because we are the BEST!

Cars these days are complicated things, if your car is less than 15 years old, it will contain at least $6000 worth of computers in it. Mistakes caused by people working on your car who are not using the latest equipment or possessing the necessary skills are quick to make and expensive to fix!

Think long and hard about who you trust to work on your vehicle.

"Are you the cheapest in town?"

Probably not! We concentrate on being the BEST!
Do you want the cheapest person to work on your car, or do you want the best?

HB Auto Lock makes every effort to ensure that our prices are fair and reasonable, but we make no claim to be the cheapest option. To be cheaper would mean we'd need to sacrifice either the parts we supply or the standard of workmanship we provide - and we are not prepared to do either!
We take our work very seriously and have a high standard of workmanship and thanks to the fact that we are actively involved in training other locksmiths, both in NZ and around the world, we have developed a wide range of resources to help us solve those tricky locksmithing problems.

We are completely mobile and can come to you.

"Can you [ unlock / supply keys for / fix ] my car?"

Well, I've never met you and I don't know what kind of car you drive, but... yes.
Yes I can.

"Jeremy, can you use a muesli crumble on Apples?"

FINALLY! An important question!
The short answer is no. Obviously not. Apples can only have a flour based crumble, because we haven't come 4000 years as a civilised society to just throw it all away when someone wants to shortcut a perfect dessert topping.

Fruit crumbles have strict rules which MUST be adhered to, lest we all want to descend into anarchy.
Muesli based crumbles can be used on Apricots and Peaches, but never Plums or Rhubarb. No raisins. No nuts. No little Marshmallows. Just stop it. These rules have been long established by people much smarter than you and I, and should not be challenged.
If you want to zhoosh up your classic Apple crumble, you have many options. Cinnamon is a classic. Add a layer of Feijoas in there - sure why not. Blackberries add absolutely nothing to the taste, I'll roll my eyes but I'll allow it. But no crunch. We don't need it.

Your crumble should only be made by rubbing cold butter into the flour. With your fingers as God intended. And don't you dare use Brown Sugar. You weirdo.
Finally, if you want to get real controversial - I say a firm NO to ice cream, or any cream for that matter, on your crumble. You want an ice cream, have it in a separate bowl. Hot food shouldn't touch cold food. That's just science.

I would LOVE to discuss this with you further, but you'll need to lose a key first. Then we can debate it while you're paying me!
