Great and very honest company! I needed my secondary key programmed for my Chevy Cruze and they walked me through how to do it over the phone. Apparently all I needed to do was put my programmed in key first, start the engine and then take it out repeat with the secondary key I am trying to add and that worked! Thank you so much for your help. I highly recommend this company! read more

GREAT service, VERY honest/personable, and EXTREMELY professional. Sean and his associate arrived at my home and assisted me with a car key issue. He diagnosed the problem and provided an immediate solution that solved my problem. He made new keys, gave me a new key ring, and offered recommendations to avoid future issues. He is a AAA partner and my out of pocket cost was minimal. The real value, however, was his calm confidence and reassurance in this situation. He will be my "go-to" locksmith for the future . Thank you, Sean! read more

*** By appointment only *** I initially came here on Sunday which I later realized the office door was locked. Luckily a gentleman named Sherwin was preparing his van and he was able to diagnose the issue on the spot. [Issue]: My car remote control was not working and somehow my car's windows kept rolling down. [Dianoise]: Sherwin said the issue was due to bad remote signal and not a battery issue. To fix the issue, he will need to reprogram my key. I told him that I can't do it right now so he removed the battery to prevent my car windows from automatically rolling down. He even showed me a trick on how to manually opening/closing windows with the physical key by (1) unlock the driver's door with the key and (2) within 10 seconds of returning the key to the central position turn the key in the unlock direction and hold it there. He didn't ask for any service fee but I still tipped the man. [Visit]: Couple days later I called the office number and asked for Sherwin. He eventually called back and we scheduled an appointment at my place. He stopped by my place with his van and was able to reprogram my key in approximately 15 minutes. The cost was $80 for one key and my remote key was working again. [Conclusion]: Sherwin is the man - amazing service and very friendly person to talk to. read more

I recently got a new to me ride that only came with 1 key fob, but getting it made at the dealer was $$$$. The most cost effective solution would be to procure aftermarket keys and program them myself. I still needed a locksmith to cut the blades. I searched around and other places were more expensive, or they would refuse to cut customer supplied keys. By far, this place has the most reasonable prices to get the key blank cut. read more

Was fast and let me know some stuff it had like 4 keys I didn't know it had but I highly recommend

God bless Sean! I was directed to this company to replace a key that doesn't work do to an error of it not being in range when plugging it into the ignition. Instead of having me be charged for a whole new key for around $300, he suggested I speak with a dealership, will do tomorrow since it is Sunday. Most likely will only need to replace the key battery for $10! Sean is a genuine wonderful man. if I ever need assistance with keys I will be going here! ^.^ read more

I cannot express how much we loved the service of Mike at Advanced Lock and Key. We were stressed, our stolen truck was found, we had no keys for it, but could get into the truck with a key pad. We called a "local family owned" locksmith first off, thinking that would be best. WRONG. The guy did a bait and switch, telling us we had to buy they keys that only opened the car. Threatened to call the police on us. Finally got rid of him and decided to call AAA to get some help. BEST IDEA. AAA sent out Mike from Advanced Lock & Key. Mike called us first and when I told him we had been sitting by our truck for 2.5 hours, he said he would get to us as fast as he could. I also told him of the problem with the other locksmith. Mike assured us that if we had the correct documentation, he would make us a key that starts the truck. He also mentioned there would be no fee if he couldn't start the truck and he would initiate a tow for us through AAA. Mike worked diligently to make a key and refine it for the truck. He talked with us, walked us through the process and put us at peace. After a short time, Mike had us up and running. He was very competent and GREAT at his job, but also very good with people who we very on edge. read more

Fantastic customer service with a smile and friendly attitude. I literally drove in without and appointment and was serviced "on-the-spot" with a replacement key FOB for an older Acura MDX. I drove away 30 minutes later with a smile on my face. This business and staff are 100% legit and total professionals! read more

Due to some issues with my key fob, I first went to the dealership to get a rough estimate and of course as expected would be costly. I was referred here to Advanced Lock & Key. I spoke with an employee Mike, explained my situation with him, and he really helped me out. He was kind and patient to explain to me what the issue was and replaced both my key fobs for a very reasonable price. I've always had issues when purchasing a specific battery, as well, for my key fob, and now I know where to go to get my batteries replaced. Honestly, hands down, a great spot! Check them out! Inside their office, they have 3 congratulatory rewards from Yelp! mounted on their wall, along with other updated certified certificates being showcased. It's always nice to see that great value and customer service still exists in a world that's very fast-paced. Please check this location out. I would give it 10 stars if I could! read more

Needed to get a key and remote programmed for my 2008 Honda CRV. Took it to a local hardware store and they couldn't get it to work. Then I came to Advanced Lock & Key and Mike got a new key to work on the first try! Don't waste your time at the dealer. The dealer wanted double the amount I paid here. Great service, great prices...what more can you ask for? I'll be back for sure! read more

I rated them very high, they were so helpful and kind. I got the best service. So helpful with my car and making my key. Good heart people

They didn't honor the price I was quoted they would charge me after a call from the dealership. I had to come back twice to get it done because they couldn't get the key to duplicate. Unhappy customer. read more

Amazing service had an appointment the day I requested only took about 30 minutes. Very professional I'll never use anyone else except for Advanced lock key. Mike met me and re-keyed my tailgate for my truck so I can put a topper on it. Great price super affordable Very fast efficient service thank you Mike for being a standup guy and doing business like it should be done. Give that guy a raise. He deserves it great attitude super laid-back. Communication was very good as well. I was late to my appointment and he accommodated me and it was no problem. They're the best 10 out of 10. read more

Mike came to me in less than an hour. He made me another key to my car at awesome price. Thank you Mike I appreciate you!

Have a key that is hard to find--none of the local hardware stores could duplicate it. I called this place to ask if they could and Sean asked me to text him a picture. After he confirmed that they could, I drove out there and they were expecting me. Bravo cut the key for me, and when I still had a little trouble using the new key, he recut it right away and it works perfectly. Excellent customer service here. read more

Received great quality service. Sean was knowledgeable, tentative, and friendly. Needing a lock service is stressful on its own so I'm glad I could find a trustworthy locksmith. read more

I lost the only key fob to my vehicle, and initially called my service manager at the dealership. He said it would be expensive at the dealership, and that it would take ten days to get it in stock. He gave me the number for Advanced Lock and Key. Mike came out, and he was so polite, kind, knowledgeable, and professional, and actually turned the frustrating experience of losing my key into a pleasant one of finding a new locksmith that I now have for any future needs. In no time Mike had me back on the road with two new key fobs. Couldn't be happier! Highly recommend! read more

Needed a new key for my 2012 Ford Focus. I was referred to Advanced Lock & Key by another locksmith and my car dealer. I called them and they helped me out and made me a key on only an hours notice.

I had a key with a fob for my Honda that broke in half and I had to tape it together in order to use it. I had AAA recommend a lock and key service to replace it. They recommended Advanced Lock and Key from Santa Ana. They are a mobile service. They came to my residence BEFORE the time that I was given by over a half hour!! Sean Marandi the technician explained the process thoroughly and gave me the option of just a key or a key with a fob because the prices were quite different. He was very honest and I could tell he had great integrity for his job. He gave excellent customer service and was very polite. He also showed me the charge before and after he charged my card which I appreciated. I highly recommend any locksmith service from this company!! read more

How did this business even get good reviews?! I usually write good reviews but this service was RIDICULOUS. Number one: Not qualified. He does only car doors but took the job anyways when we took a foto and explained it was a house (garage) door. Number 2: Came with a nasty attitude. Misunderstood the location directions and raised his voice within 1 minute and refused service. Argued with me about the location when I'm the one that lives here and know the streets. Number 3: When he finally found the location, he was taking calls while servicing and left without opening a simple door (refer to #1). Wasted 1.5hrs of our time. Must call a real locksmith now and start over thanks to this business's unprofessionalism. Go somewhere else if you want the job done!! Update: New locksmith came to ask if he was banging into the lock cuz he damaged it. And yes.. he was banging into the lock. read more
