OMG I am so Very Happy that Adrian answered My call and is Still Doing Locksmith Work ! After explaining our issues We scheduled a Service Call with Him. My husband and I met him for the First time when we moved to Lakeway, Texas in 2018. We wanted to have our whole home Re-keyed for safety purposes and we contacted ACL and scheduled an appointment. He was Very Curteous, Friendy and Extremely Knowledgeable and did an Impeccable Job ! This time I called ACL and was so happy to hear that Adrian was Still in Business in 2025 !!! My husband and I have an Old Jukebox and we needed the Key Slot fixed since we were unable to open the front door to change CD's ! On the day of our appointment Adrian came over, right on time, and Quickly got to work ! My husband kept saying that one of the keys to open the front door had broken off inside ! Adrian definitely knows his trade and after just a Few Minutes he had the front opened ! Turns out that it wasn't a broken key in the lock at all it was The latch inside that was 'Dry' and wouldn't release the front door ! Aidrean used Lubricant to make the latch work easily and Checked out the Locked Money Bin also to make sure everything was working properly!! AND He did it All For an Amazing Low Price ! This Man is 'THE BEST' at What he does and I Know he will be able to help you with 'ANY' Lock Situation ! As Technology has Evolved, He has even learned how to Re-Program keys for newer model cars ! That's Amazing ! Great Job Adrian read more

My husband and I were locked out of our house. We called a couple of places before finding Adrian. He was the only person who actually picked up his phone. He arrived within 20 minutes and we were taken care within 20 minutes. He was kind, professional and very knowledgeable. His pricing was more than fair! Thanks so much Adrian!! You are in our phones in case we need you again!! read more

I called my highly respected and trusted motorcycle mechanic when I incidentally locked my key under the seat of my Honda Silverwing. He said the only locksmith he recommends is ACL Locksmith and I can see why. I gave him a call and he was out to my home in under 24 hours making me a spare key at a great price. Adrian is a good dude and will take good care of you. I highly recommend him too now also and will use him anytime I have locksmith needs. read more

I called this company because 1) it was open & taking calls at 6:00 PM on Saturday, 2) it was located close to my home in Travis Heights. The locksmith came to my home within the hour and re-keyed two doors for about $100. He was quick and friendly. I've been hoodwinked by locksmiths before, so my benchmark might be lower than average. Regardless, the service was timely, convenient, relatively affordable, and painless. Thus, 4 Stars. read more

Use this company! Down to earth, stand up guy! He worked hard in the heat to get my broken car key out my door. Hyundai's are notorious for having quirky keys but that didn't stop him from getting it right. He didn't overcharge and had me back on the road in no time! Support local businesses! read more

Today was a bad day...then I locked my keys in my trunk accidently at HEB, and went from bad to worse day. After having my hubby come rescue, and still not being able to pry my door open to release the trunk, we decided to call a locksmith. I looked around a bit and found ACL! I read reviews and decided to give it a shot. To my surprise the call was quick, pleasant, and painless. I got an immediate quote of $40 to help me unlock my car for me. I'm not sure if that is the quote for everyone, but I believe so. I did not need to rekey, just to open it. =) After a brief call they stated they'd be there in 20 mins, which it was! Christian showed up and in 2-3 minutes, he had my door open in no time. He was courteous, friendly, efficient, and overall great guy from the looks of it. As quoted, $40 bucks, so I was quite pleased with all the services from beginning to end! Plus, you can't really beat this price, trust me I looked! I'm happily driving my car again! Thanks ACL and Christian! read more

Very happy with ACL Locksmith! The key wouldn't turn in the ignition of my 2003 Honda Pilot. I did some research and found that the best thing you can do is call a good locksmith, because they can repair the ignition instead of replacing it. I called ACL and the locksmith came to my house right away... he had my ignition fixed in less than an hour, whew. I saved over $500 and couldn't be more relieved. Super nice guy, fast service... all good. read more

This guy came out and made a key for my 2007 BMW 335i. The key function just fine for a few days, but it wasn't long after where I started to notice I had to press the unlock button about 20 times before it would actually work. At one point, I wrote the company and the guy who initially made my key advised me to just replace the battery. I went out and found the battery, they're pretty specific and not super easy to find. When I replace the battery, still nothing. I have videos of me just clicking the lock and unlock or even the trunk button and nothing happens. I wrote him again and explain that I didn't live in Texas, I was in California right now and he told me he couldn't do anything without the vehicle in front of him. I totally understand that you can't fix something you can't see, but if they key you made it doesn't work, I told him that I need him to either reimburse me for the cost of getting a new key made at here since the one I bought from him was only a couple weeks old. I also told him he could just refund me on the credit card that I used to pay, I gave him multiple options but didn't feel it was fair that I have a faulty key and I have to go pay another $350 to get a key made. It was when I suggested reimbursing me are refunding me for my key that he refused to return any of my communication at that point. I called my bank and explained the situation to them, and I sent them all the information that I had including the videos of the bad key and the texts from the owner and they found the evidence in my favor and refunded me on their end instead of having him do it. I eventually found out what the problem with the key was. Every single time I've tried to use it, I have to remove the backing and hold the battery in place and then press the unlock button or it doesn't work. It seems like the battery is either missing something, the key is missing something that holds the battery in place, or it's just a poorly made key. Either way, the battery moves around inside and only works if you open the back and hold it in place. Initially I was happy with the service but paying that much money for something that takes 20 minutes and then finding out later that the hardware is a piece of crap and they aren't going to do anything about it soured me on this company. I wouldn't use them in the future. And I almost forgot to mention that I had to contact him the next day as well because he unplugged the Bluetooth antenna under the drivers side. I had to pull everything apart myself and reconnect it. There were just too many problems and it sucks having a bad key. read more

After several years of working with ACL, we ran into a difficult situation together. He did a job for my company where the customer said he's scratched her locks and torn some paint. I tried to discuss with the owner on two occasions to call me to discuss and he wouldn't even consider that he could have caused the damage. He refused to return my call about it- saying he'd "worked the job into his busy schedule for me," which I guess implied my client and I should have just accepted the damage. He did charge my card $200 without calling me back- the agreed upon price, but I would have appreciated a call to discuss resolution of the damage he likely caused. I paid my customer to compensate for that damage. We've since found another locksmith we are happy with. I had good success with this company prior to this most recent experience. I gave 3 stars because, as I said, I did have good experience with him before. read more

Adrien came out within hours of my call. He was on time, professional and did an excellent job changing my house locks. Price was excellent as well. I highly recommend! read more

Absolutely horrible. It's a scam by some guy who tries to charge you as much money as he can. They tried to charge me $100 then after arguing with them, he changed the price because he realized I was on to them. So shitty, trust me and never call this place to unlock your car for you. read more

ACL Locksmith just saved me!! This is a fair and honest locksmith. I woke up this morning and immediately realized that my husband had left for the airport and my only set of car keys were inside my bag which was inside my locked car! My heart sank at the thought of having to call a locksmith because I have been scammed by locksmiths in NYC before. I also am on a very tight budget because Christmas is fast approaching so I was extra worried about how this whole scenario was going to unfold. But to my surprise, ACL quoted me a fair price and also got out to me in 30 minutes! My car was open in seconds! I was elated to know that there are still fair and honest professionals out there! I highly recommend this guy! He is a fair and honest business owner! Do yourself a favor and give him a call when in need. read more

Fast and perfect work - 60 minutes from the call until I had a new key for my Shelby gt500, and just about half what the ford dealer would have charged. read more

Fantastic service. I dropped our car key while out running on the trail, and we didn't have a way to get to our spare. Adrian came out quickly and made us a new key for our Honda Accord. He was extremely professional, quick, and his price couldn't be beat. I will definitely be using him again (well, hopefully not, but you know). read more

Lost my key, have to get back home for Christmas. Call at 8 AM, doesn't arrive until 11. Makes a key that will start the car but won't open my door. Which is...useless since I have to lock my damn door. Takes an hour and a half to go back and get me a remote since I need to get in my car and then charges $260 for a half-working key and a remote. You've got to be joking me. Never come here; you won't miss out on the exorbitant pricing and slow service. read more

I called and they arrived within 15 minutes. Super friendly! Was able to get me in my car within minutes and for much better price than 5 other places I called! When I realized my keys were lost they made me a key on the spot! I love this place and would gladly recommend them! read more

The key to my VW broke on Labor Day and after calling Geico assistance (like AAA) and they couldn't find one company to come out, they offered to reimburse me if I found a company that would. ACL Locksmith was not only so polite on the phone, within 2 hours, they were at my apartment and done with my new key. The price was reasonable and just the fact that they came out without hesitation on a holiday, is worth the 5 stars. Definitely recommended! read more

Responded to my call quickly. Was out the same day. Did an awesome job. Saved me a ton of money. Beware of the guys who won't tell you an exact price for key replacement. When they got to my house they wanted $300 extra dollars. This guy treats you right! read more

Adrian, I called the number that you have listed here on your YELP business page. (512) 577-0177.

Knight in Shining Armor!! I lost my car keys, and my spare did not work because (i believe) it had to be reprogrammed or something like that. The locksmith came out and reprogrammed my key. No dice. So he cut me a new one. Still no luck. He (correctly) assumed that it was because I had taken apart the after-market alarm/remote starter that my fiance had put in the car (dumb, I know, but I was looking for the key that i KNOW is in there somewhere-it seemed like a good idea at the time). The locksmith stuck around and reassembled the whole system for me, trying different combinations of wires until the car finally started. He went above and beyond the call of duty. Even though other calls were coming in for him, he did not leave until he had corrected all of my bad decisions. If I could give him more stars, I would. read more

Fast and reliable. Arrived on time and was professional. Easy payment with card in the spot.

I lost the keys to my car and called around for quotes and ACL Locksmith was very fair in pricing. Since my car is an older model (2000) I didn't need re-programing or anything crazy so it was quick and easy. Not only did they get me back in my car (after having to pop the lock) they made me a spare for a really good rate. I've had to use Pop-A-Lock before and they were slow and expensive, it took the guy several attempts to pop the lock. Bottom line......ACL Locksmith was affordable, quick, and very honest. I will definitely be using them again. read more

Locksmith was recommended by the Tow truck driver. Showed up quickly and programmed a key for my BMW, however the car would not start. He stayed and verified that according to his system the key was properly programmed, but diagnostic logs show that the immobilizer was activated by the new key. I kept him updated thru-out the week as my car was in the shop. I have the service records indicating that the issue was an invalid key. Got a working key from the dealership and notified him, but have not had success in getting refunded, even partially for a $280 non-working key. read more

Adrian was fantastic. Offered to be out within the hour. Other than his integrity, perhaps my favorite quality was that he personally answered his phone. I called several other locksmiths prior to calling Adrian. All I got was answering services, so I kept calling around. When I called ACL Locksmith, Adrian answered the phone and was informative and helpful. He was also substantially less than the answering services quoted. We struck an agreement and he was precisely on-time, very professional, and completed the job in less than 5 minutes. His pricing was more than fair. I would not hesitate to use him again, and I strongly recommend him to those who value professionalism, value, and a quality product. I am very happy that I found ACL Locksmith! Thank you Adrian! read more

I went in to have a copy of my key cut, could not be happier with the price! I was out the door in under 5 mins, defiantly would recommend.

I called around because I lost the key to my car and this company had the best pricing by far. They were quick to show up, extremely easy to work with, and definitely made the hassle of rekeying a vehicle much less stressful. I'm typically a yelp bully and am quick to throw out insults online after a service but I definitely can't with this experience. Call them first, you're wasting you time with anyone else. read more

Horrible customer service!!! My teenage son called to get the keys out of his car. Someone showed up and completed the job in 5 minutes which was great; however, they charged $80! By the time I had called the manager, my son had given the guy $60 cash and he had left...no receipt or contact information. The manager was extremely unprofessional and hung up on me when I asked him to email me a receipt. They did the job, but their operation seems shady to me. read more

Needed to rekey some locks. Read the reviews and emailed ACL - received a prompt reply. Called today and he showed up within the time specified. He was down to business immediately and done in less time than I expected! HIGHLY recommend ACL! read more

I had a car key (unfortunately my only copy) break off in my door lock, The locksmith was able to come out when I called the next day to copy the broken key. The original key was too damaged to copy by whatever the conventional route may be, so he hand cut the key for me, it took about 30-45 minutes and cost me $69 on a Saturday morning. Everyone else I called said that they either couldn't do it or would charge over $100 for a similar service. Call ACL for quick, honest service read more

Called in around 12 something. He said he would be there in about an hour. I was in no rush. I didn't ask him to rush. Just wanted to know when I needed to have pants on. My bf called them a total of 3 times. The last time he said he was 15 minutes away. An hour after that last call... he finally showed up... at 8 PM. one hour means 8 I guess. I wouldn't have cared if he had said it wont be til 8. That is fine, my issue is that he said one hour and it was eight hours. On top of that he didn't ask for any ID or proof of ownership. It could have been some random person's car in my parking lot I just wanted to get into. Shady. read more

My son lost his key to his truck and needed to get another one. The kicker is that the key has a check that starts the truck. Someone told him that he needed to get the car towed to the dealership to get another key made. I thought about a locksmith being open to open doors and make keys so typed in locksmith in Austin,Tx. I called the first locksmith on the list which was ACL Locksmith. Adrian answer the phone and I explain to him what happen and ask him was he able to make another key to start the truck since this one had a chip program in it. He said yes and met us were the truck was parked since my son parked his car in a parking lot and rode with a friend somewhere else. Just so happen we had a key that only open the truck and he was able to make a copy of that key and then program the other key that he made to start the truck. I found that ACL was reasonable price to replace the key and it took no time at all to program the key and start the truck. After I got home I did call another locksmith to see if they were able to program a key for the make and model of the truck and they could not so we made a good choice with ACL. Would highly recommend. read more
