These are the NICEST folks you could ever do business with!!!!! They are super friendly and accommodating! They really know their craft, and the taught me a few things about my car that I was unaware of!!! They replaced my key fob and were MUCH cheaper than the dealership! I recommend them any reservations, and will use them again if the need arises!!!cc read more

Life savers!!! I called around to mobile lock smiths and they want to charge to come to you plus other crazy fees. They saved me $100 with my AAA. They only take walk ins and I had to wait but it was done in less than 15 min to replace a key fob that was on the fritz so my parents would have had to go to the dealership and pay out the nose. Thank you again for your great service!!! Highly recommended. read more

I was a little nervous after looking at so many different locksmiths! Thank God I was referred to Advance, I called and talked to Darran, he got my info and put a order for service for me. I told him no rush as I have lost the keys weeks ago and can't find them. My doorbell rang, my Great Dane alarms went crazy, I went out and Princess was here to take care of the job. What a nice young lady and very knowledgeable, she got the job done. Thank you very much for your for service I would recommend their services! Thank you again, Sandy R read more

My husband was struck and injured by a drunk driver and taken away via ambulance. In the my panic of trying to get things out of his car and into mine, so I could hurry off to the ER, I locked my keys in my trunk. I couldn't leave my car where it was because it would have definitely would have been burglarized. I called AAA crying to explain my situation. Christina was nothing short of awesome doing what she could to get someone there quickly. She came back and told me forty minutes. Ok....that was much better than the originally quoted 90 minutes! Ten minutes later I get a call back from Matt who informed me that he saw the call come up and that it was urgent so he left his home (he was off duty) and came to help me since he was only ten minutes away. Sure enough he was there in less than ten minutes and apologized for not being in uniform. He could have showed up dressed as a Liberace impersonator--I didn't care in the least because he was there to help which he didn't have to--he could have stayed home and watched Johnny Carson re-runs. Instead he drove out and unlocked my car and helped me find the keys in no time. He also expressed concern that I was okay to drive, given what I had been though, and made sure I knew how to get to the hospital where my husband was taken. He even handed me a bottle of water and told me he hoped all would be okay. Soon after I was well on my way. I find it hard to express just how much I appreciated Matt's help. If I ever need a locksmith again, or am asked for a recommendation, I will gladly refer business to AAL. read more

Tony helped me out after my Sonata was broken into. He was so kind and helpful, don't think I'll go anywhere else for any lock services. A great group of guys working there. read more

Wish I could have gotten the English guy who works here, but this guy is the nicest guy in the world. I recently purchased a Honda that came with only one key. I purchased a new key at the dealer but they wanted $120 just to program it. So I looked on Yelp and found these guys. I came in as within minutes they had my key programmed at a fraction of the price. I hope the Universe pays back his gesture of being kind and his price. If you need any key work done or programming like I did, this is your place. If you go in, tell the guy about my review. Can't say enough great things. read more

Wow! In today's business climate where people generally just do the bare minimum, if that, I have to say that the management and the Locksmith José, whom they sent to the Rescue, definitely went way above and beyond the call of duty in a definite time of need and a complex situation. I can't recommend them highly enough! There's no second choice in my opinion when it comes to these guys! I realize this may sound like a gushing review but when you come across a business like this that voluntarily goes beyond the extra mile to help a client- how can one be anything other than over the top with appreciation? read more

Advance Auto Locksmith - The patient. - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - Orlando, Florida

See all

My experience with Advance Auto Locksmith was outstanding. Everyone was very professional and helpful. I needed a new key fob for my car and had them order an after market version. Unfortunately, it was not coded correctly from the manufacturer, so Advance gave me an OEM fob for the same price as the after market version. They also proactively let me know that I could use my AAA membership for a discount. I highly recommend Advance. read more

My key fob was not unlocking my vehicle so I dropped by Advance Auto Locksmith to get a replacement. I knew from experience they charged a fraction of what it cost at the dealer. Since they didn't have the specific key fob in stock, Darran took the time to repair the fob for the best price one could wish for. Thanks sir! read more

I received emergency service from Advance Auto Locksmith when I returned to town after loosing my keys. I was met at airport parking by a technician who made keys to my vehicle. He was fast, efficient and kind. They were reasonably priced compared to others I called. I highly recommend them. read more

The kindest and most efficient people I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with! I've been trying for weeks just to get a duplicate key for my car. Everyplace I tried either couldn't do it or was insanely expensive. One guy wanted to charge me $140 for one key!! I finally came across this company and from the start they were so welcoming and accommodating. Not only was I able to get a duplicate for an EXCELLENT price but they also did it so fast! I can not rave enough about how wonderful they all are. Would 100% recommend! read more

Charged us a great price for programming the key fobs we brought and a new key. A fraction of what the dealership would have charged. Very professional and kind. We would recommend them. read more

Incredibly rude people answer the phone here. They mumble their answer so you can't understand what they say, then they hang up on you when you try to clarify. Then they send you to voicemail when you call back. Most businesses are in business to make money. Not this one I guess. What a disgrace. I epsilon be embarrassed to be associated with this place if I worked there or owned it. Disgusting. read more

me and my dad got our car keys stuck inside the locked car. we called and they were very nice and quick. only took like 5 minutes to get keys out the car. nice and reliable and affordable! hopefully nothing like this happens again but if so we will definitely be calling this place again. read more

I will never use another company again. Absolute professionals. Very affordable. On time. They even threw in a couple extra keys after they made the first one. I cannot say enough about how great these guys were. The day before another company had tried to screw me and these guys turned a very bad experience into a very good one. I've already recommended them on Facebook and will continue to in the future to anyone who needs locksmith services. read more

My house was broken into and my car keys stolen. I called AAA who sent a technician from Advance Auto Locksmith. I requested a reprogrammed fob and new car door locks, so that the thieves would not be able to return to my car and enter it. The technician used a computerized device to reprogram a new fob for my Infiniti G35, and that took about 10 minutes. He then began to attempt to "read" the key lock with a device so that he could manufacture a replacement key. During this time, I was dealing with the police officer who came to my house, and also a second locksmith from Integrity Locksmith Services I had called to re-key all of my house doors. After about an hour, the locksmith from Advance Auto Locksmith came to me and said he wasn't able to manufacture a replacement physical key, and that I would have to take the car to the shop myself to get the work done there. I said "Wait, why were you trying to make a replacement key? I asked for entirely brand new locks. A replacement key would still allow the thieves to unlock the door." At this, the technician became exasperated that he had been doing the wrong thing the whole time. He acknowledged he understood the original instruction, he just forgot or something. He bemoaned that it was the end of his shift and that he was tired and that the job was hard. It was very late, all of this was going on at about 4am. He said he would not attempt to re-key my locks and that I would have to make a payment now and bring my car into the shop later on to have the locks re-keyed. I was frustrated, but at least with the new fob I could drive my car and get to work in a few hours. I agreed to come to the shop later to finish the job but did not feel it was appropriate to pay the entire $325 fee for the service of "Keymake + Program" when the only service that had been performed was the 10-minute "Program" of the fob. The physical key tucked into the fob remained blank. He said I had no options. I must pay the full price, immediately, or he would leave with the newly programmed fob. I said I wanted to call AAA about the matter, because this was technically still a AAA service call. The technician responded to this by immediately collecting his belongings and marching toward his truck, threatening to leave with the fob. Cornered by his ultimatum, I chose to pay the $325 "Keymake + Program" so that I could use my car to get to work that morning. The technician told me I could bring my car into the shop later and pay an additional fee to get the locks re-keyed. Once he left, the locksmith from Integrity Locksmith Services told me it was the most unprofessional and amateur thing he had ever witnessed. He said he could easily have re-keyed my locks on the spot. He said the Advance Auto Locksmith was using some sort of obsolete method. I thanked him but explained I had already paid, and would have to continue working with Advance Auto Locksmith to minimize my costs now. An hour later, the technician from Advance Auto Locksmith texted me a long and formal apology for his behavior. He said he spoke with his boss, explained what happened, and his boss was offering to re-key my locks at no additional cost. I assume the technician told his boss what he had done, that he had extorted my own car keys from me and threatened to leave me stranded, and his boss chewed his ass out and told him to apologize to me. I told the technician I accepted his apology and would call soon to schedule time to bring my car into the shop. Some days later, I called Advance Auto Locksmith to schedule this service. The person on the phone said that they had no record of such an agreement. Their records showed that I had paid for and received "Keymake + Program" for $325 and that there was no record of any services still owed to me. He said that by signing the invoice and making the payment, I was accepting that the work had been completed satisfactorily. My eyes rolled out of my head. I asked to speak to a supervisor, or the owner, or the technician who originally made the agreement with me. None of these options were possible, according to the individual on the phone. I asked to be called back by the owner when he was in and this call never came. The net result is that I paid $325 for a fob reprogramming. This is a 10-minute computerized process done on a tablet. The fob itself probably costs between $30 and $80, if I had to guess. The thieves did return to my car, unlock it, and leave the trunk open. Naturally, I had removed everything already. All they found was dog hair and fast food trash. I called Integrity Locksmith Service, who had been re-keying my house doors that night, and asked him to re-key my car. He sympathetically gave me a discount, because he knew the entire story with Advance Auto Locksmith. It was hard not to feel like I hadn't been robbed twice that night. Invoice #40931 read more

I found Advance on google when my ignition key locked on my '05 Saturn Ion. I spoke with Darran who was very friendly over the phone; when I explained my situation, he knew exactly what was the issue with my car. I was by Florida hospital- Orlando, which Darran said was "up the road" and asked me to bring it in to fix. He gave me an estimate of $75+. When I got there, I met Darren at the office and I can honestly say he was very nice on the eyes w/ his British accent(Wink wink)! He had one of the other locksmiths who was equally as nice look at my car and explained why my ignition lock was faulting and fixed my ignition lock. I was in and out within an hour and my issue wasn't as serious as Darran thought so he only charged me $50! Sweeeettt!! I had an good experience with Advance and would come back and refer them to anyone else! Great job guys! read more

Some car shops will take your car early and it will sit as they work on other vehicles. I noticed mine was already having the door panels removed in 20 minutes from arrival. Absolutely the best car locksmith in at least 2 states. In California, MILTs wanted to charge me $300, I didn't even pay half that and my car was ready in a little over an hour. What's good about service here, is you won't be nickle and dimed and the owner wants to offer the most inexpensive service as possible. The only issue I had, was the cheaper key copy offered to save me money, which was considerate but the key bent by the end of the month. If you look at my reviews, I have reviewed everywhere from San Francisco, Washington D.C., New Mexico, Georgia and North Carolina, so you can be sure I'm not a bot shilling for AA locksmith. I highly recommend AA Advanced Auto Locksmith for locals and out of towners. read more

I was referred here when someone shoved a screwdriver into my door lock. Called over the phone and was given some options. $150 plus parts and he'll come on site and take apart the door and rekey the lock; he could even order the part. $90 and I went to their location with the part he said I needed from Nissan. He was done in thirty minutes. From what I overheard while waiting it is $45 to unlock your car anywhere in the greater Orlando area. read more

Darren & his team are TRUE professionals! New Key & Fob Within Minutes-VERY Competitively Priced. GO NO WHERE ELSE! read more

Came to get a chip key copied for my truck. Fair prices - half of what dealerships charge Quick service - done in 15 minutes Lost a star because the waiting room is dirty and a bit uncomfortable to be in. read more

Top notch service & very reasonable. Darran helped me with an issue the dealership wanted double the money for. Highly recommend!

I am a pretty harsh critic of customer service, and I only think to leave a review if it is a disaster, or extraordinary. My experience with Advance Auto locksmith was extraordinary. I called several locksmiths, and this was not only the lowest quote, but the best receptionist I spoke with. In an effort to save a nickel, I bought my key fob online from someone else. Turns out it was the wrong radio frequency. After a 30 minute programming process, it only partly functioned. Darran took the time to show me what to look for on the FCC ID code so I could get the correct Fob. He declined payment and said we'd take care of it when we got the new fob programmed. He had already cut the key by the way. When I got the right one, he had to do the 30 minute programming process again. He had to do it twice because I had brought him the wrong key, and I don't think it would have been unfair for him to charge for both times. But he didn't even seem to consider that. He just wanted to make sure I was happy and everything was working. He earned a lifelong customer. Thanks. read more

The guy who came out and made my wife a new key for her car was great....he was professional and charged exactly what was quoted over the phone...lost a star because they did not come out as fast as I would have liked, (and as they said), and she was all alone. Overall very good read more

Advanced Auto gave great quality service at a very reasonable price. I checked a few other locksmith companies and they immediately said they did not have the equipment to make a new key for my particular vehicle. Advanced Auto created a new key in about 20 minutes. I am very happy with their services and professionalism. Brian read more

Went to get my keys reprogrammed after losing my original keys. Darren is super friendly and was in and out within 15 minutes. Definitely recommend! read more

The woman who came to help me today was a lifesaver! After calling AAA, the first guy (from aaa in the typical tow truck) arrived and couldn't get my car open after 30 minutes of trying. He proceeded to tell me several reasons why I was SOL, that he had to call a locksmith and I was going to have to get a new key fob. I'm a student and I typically don't have the means for sudden expenses like this, that's why I have aaa. I spent the next few minutes completely stressed out until advance auto showed up. The woman hopped out of her vehicle and had my car opened (through the same method the other guy could not handle) in less than a minute! She was so sweet and absolutely saved the day! I wish I could thank her more. I am not discounting aaa, I have had awesome experiences with them in the past, but I think this instance really demonstrated what a top rated locksmith business is all about and I wanted to give them the credit! I would most definitely recommend their services to anyone! read more

These guys are awesome!!! I had them change the lock & ignition in my Kia Soul and they charged me HALF the price that my dealership was going to. Darren really hooked it up and was very friendly. Excellent customer service...I will absolutely use these guys in the future and highly recommend them to anyone who is in need of a locksmith. read more

Darren is awesome, got everything done quickly and it costed 1/3 of what the dealer wanted to charge me. Locked out? Definitely call them!

Outstanding service. Went in with a need and the owner told me that my best solution unfortunately was the dealer. I was told my car can be re programed to use non factory keys, but the savings wouldn't be worth the hassle and aggravation in his opinion. His advice did not net him any revenue from me today, but he now has me as a loyal customer for anything in the future. read more

I received assistance from an AA Advance Auto technician named Tim. He was prompt, incredibly professional, courteous and knowledgeable. He helped ease my frustration by explaining his approach as he worked. He had a great sense of humor and was extremely careful and thorough. I will DEFINITELY be using AA Advanced Auto Locksmith in the future as a result of the excellent customer service that I received. read more

Fast and friendly service with a smile. It is no wonder AAA uses them. Kassia was able to take the lock off of my trailer hitch in less than a minute and also had a replacement lock in the van! AMAZING service! read more

I lost my key and they made another one on site. Why is this a 5-star rating? I'd lost the key before and was told by the top locksmith stores in my area I had to have my car towed to the dealership because only the dealership could "marry" the new key to my car. That lost key cost me $250. It's now 8 months later and I'm on vacation. Rats, lost my key again and I called AAA for a tow to the dealership. The AAA rep suggested I try AA Advanced Auto first. AA Advanced arrived and she had the equipment necessary IN THE VEHICLE (!) to duplicate my key. For $50. I was so happy I asked them to make 2 more keys! read more

Quick, courteous service. I lost the only key for my '99 F150. The dealership said they cannot program key more than 10yrs old. Based on Yelp reviews I called Advance Auto Locksmith and they gave me an ETA of 45min. When the technician arrived, I gave her my door key (no chip for starting the truck) and she quickly got to work. I had two keys made, plus they gave me the test cut as an extra "door only" key. Price was reasonable and service was quick. Thanks for helping me out! read more

Fast, friendly service. Kassie assisted us and was wonderful, especially since we initially gave her the wrong address of where we were stranded. She showed much patience with us. read more

Their service was extremely fast and much much cheaper than any of the other places around. Thanks for helping me unlock my car at 2 in the morning! You guys are great. If I could give a 10 star rating I would. read more

Awesome customer service. I bought a new Toyota Corolla 2011 and needed a new key cut and programmed. The dealership wanted close to $450 for a new key and programming. Advance Auto was super fast and friendly. Only took around 20-25 minutes. Saved hundreds buying the key and getting it cut and programmed here. Such a great experience! I hope that more people will read this, amazing accrediting from AAA. Will definitely recommend to others! read more
