This is for the lady that it is clearly lying about the driving situation you know for a pure fact that your not telling the truth about what ever happened if it happened because we don't speed through neighborhoods and rushing to park in any driveway because we don't park in driveways we always park on the side of the house that's how I know your lying about us and another thing there is only one driver and that's me and I will never ever do a thing like that remember this I was a New York City police officer and I know better than that ok so please maybe you had a problem with another locksmith company because we have a special computer connected to our systems systems and it records everything and I mean everything including videos we looked up the day in question and there is nothing wrong so I really don't know what you are talking about we are professional grade lady remember that look at our 5 stars on google this is our number if you had a issue you should had called the police that's why I know your lying we don't do things like what you say we did ok it really bothers me to see that 813 294 1470 call us read more

Contacted this company because my key fobs for vehicle were not working and I couldn't get the physical key into the door lock. Very quick response and they were at my home within an hour to help. Turned out vehicle battery was totally dead (my fault). So I wound up having to have the car opened up, jump start to battery, and key hole cleaned out so that I can actually insert key into it in the future. I also opted to have him repair both of the factory Honda key fobs as the plastic casing had broken over time and they could be best described as "wiggly." The fobs are not only repaired, but the area that gets stressed during use got extra re-enforcement over it. This was not an inexpensive service call for me, but I do think that it was a fair price and a good value for the services I received. He was very courteous and also offered me tips on things to do to keep some of these issues from occurring again. I would definitely recommend this company. read more
