Tonight at 12 am,my son left the keys in the house and then left the door locked behind him. I looked up the nearest locksmith and found this great service which was very fast and convenient. Also the man who helped us was very friendly and kind. I would recommend them to anyone and will use them again in the future. read more

First class service!! Professional, friendly, and very helpful with the reprogramming of our key. Highly recommend their service.

I hired AM/PM Locksmith to service my front door lock and side door. They were on-time and very clean. Great job by Julio with customer service with friendly attitude. 100% recommend AM/PM. read more

We recently moved to San Ramon and we had a little emergency when our 2 yr old locked herself in the master closet. We tried getting the door open ourselves but after 5 min we decided to call in a professional. I explained the situation and AMPM showed great concern for the situation and told me they would be here in 15 min. Chida was here in 10 min. and had our daughter out in 5. Thank you so much for the quick professional service! read more

Wow! Unbelievable service! Customer friendly! Very prompt and fast! Definitely would highly recommend. Got locked out of my car Camry 2014. A driver was able to meet me in less than 5 minutes with such great service. Definitely worth the price! Quoted various other technicians for a lot more! read more

Needed a spare key for my Jeep Wrangler. Dealership quoted $275 & needed the car all day. I called ampm Locksmith @ 5pm on a Friday...I had my new key in less than an hour for 1/2 the price. Computer programmed on the spot. He even gave me a discount on a key for my son's Mazda. Awesome, quick service. Highly recommend everyone come here. You don't have to go to the dealership to replace a key with s chip in it. read more

Excellent service with very good prices, how can you go wrong? Replaced my lost fob at a fraction of what a dealer would charge in less than an hour. The good word is apparently out because during the two times I've been to their shop in San Ramon there was a steady stream of customers coming in and out for services. read more

Walked out without my keys and had a busy day ahead so I needed to get into my house. I called AMPM Locksmith and they had someone at my house in 30 minutes. Bill was very professional and knowledgeable. Turns out my house locks are hard to pick so he had to try two locks before he was able to get into my house. He gave me some helpful tips to keep my house locks working properly. Great job! read more

Just had a duplicate keyless remote programmed for a late model Honda. Most of the locksmiths out there charge you a fee to come to you, plus the cost to program/replace the key fob. Not only was the pricing very reasonable, I was able to save that "service to me charge," which is usually about $30.00. The key fob and the emergency key blade was programmed/cut while I waited, for a good price, many $$$$ cheaper than the dealership! Thanks read more

I needed an extra key for my 1986 BMW. Nothing fancy, no electronics involved with the key. BMW dealer was going to charge me over $80.00 for one key. Got two keys made at AMPM for $8.00 a key. Keys work just fine, they start the car and lock the doors. Saving me quite a bit of money. read more

Just had a duplicate transponder key made for my car at 1/3 the dealer quote- and they had good old fashioned customer service as well. Feels good to support a local business owner like this. Thank you! read more

This company knows what customer service is about. I called to have a key removed from a dead bolt that had become stuck, and made an appt. a day in advance. They showed up on time, were friendly and after a brief explanation of what I wanted done they proceeded to work which today is not always a given with many companies. The guys that were working on my small project were very professional which increased my comfort level immediately. I will definitely keep this company in my contact list, and already have another project that I want to use them for. I forgot to mention that this was the 2nd company I called to do the work. I will not make that mistake again. AMPM will be #1 on my list for locksmith services. You should so the same. read more

This company came to our rescue after we lost our keys at a 4th of July Fireworks display. It was midnight and a holiday, and yet this wonderful man came in 15 minutes and let our very tired family into our apt in just minutes. Fast, courteous, professional and comes on a Holiday....what's not to love!!!!! read more

Thank goodness for finding AM PM Locksmith! My 2009 Toyota Prius was in need of a new key and the dealership was going to charge me over $475! No other locksmith in Santa Clara County could make a key for me. I happened to find this place when passing through on a fluke and low and behold, I have a new key for almost half the price! Everyone was very helpful. It was worth the drive from Santa Clara County (on a Friday afternoon I might add) to get a new key made. Thanks for the great service and the BIG savings! Cheers to you all AM PM Locksmith. Ann read more

I had one locksmith tell me my fancy door lock was defective and needed to be replaced... hence, the old lock would not fit into the new door. A second locksmith said that type of lock is prone to problems and has to be replaced. I was about to order an expensive replacement part online, but gave these guys a try as my last effort to make the old lock (which I just couldn't believe was defective) work. The guy at this place was friendly, immediate took my lock, and showed me a small very slick trick built into the lock for spinning the mechanism an extra 45 degrees... thus allowing me to insert/remove the lock into/from the door (that's all I needed).... and he said the lock is very good quality for security. I really like these guys and will use them from now on. Have to recommend them to all I know. read more

I had this company replace the key locks in my car doors, after they stopped working.I was given a fair estimate, so I had them do the work on the spot. They quoted me 2 hours at their shop, but they called (before the time was up) to ask for another hour. They needed another part. I appreciate they called me ahead of time, rather than allow me to show up and wait. Great work! Nice people. I had a problem the next day..so I returned and they fixed the problem immediately (no fuss, no hassles). Would use them again! read more

made me a factory transponder key in 10 minutes. ill never go to the stealership again. this guy is a master of his craft. i would reccomend going to AMPM locksmiths any time you need an expensive key made. you saved me 225 dollars. thank you read more

I needed to cut a key for a 1980, 440cc Kawasaki. (I had the original key) I paid $7 for it, and the first key they tried to cut was too wide. They tried grinding it down, and broke the key, they then told me I was responsible. After arguing they said come back on another day when someone else would be in the shop, they made me a key that only turned if the front tire was a certain direction. I noticed when I got home the key didn't unlock the helmet clamp. I told my dad and he took his second generation key (a cut from a cut of the original) and made a key after work. During this time I went back with the original key and they told me the back lock was broken and that it would never work unless they redid it. My dad called me and told me he had the key and he was at the Post Office, so I asked him to come over. The recently made key (third generation) worked perfectly. I asked for a refund and was refused for the amount of work they did. I won't pay for incompetence again. read more

So, based on all the reviews I set up an appt to have 3 doors re keyed. Without going into detail the locksmith was rather late. Since I'm human too, I decided to give him another chance and I'm very glad I did. He was more than generous for the mistake that was made and made sure EVERY key was in working order before leaving the premises. I can't tell you how many times I've returned non-working keys to hardware stores. Bottom line. AMPM is extremely customer conscious and wants nothing more to do a great job with your complete satisfaction. I will certainly return for any and all key related issues. read more

I lost keys to my 2 cars- they both had chips in them and the dealer quoted $60 PLUS $85 for programming per key. A friend referred me to AM PM, who quoted half that and when I brought my 1st car there and mentioned that I also checked them out on Yelp I promptly received a $5 discount and then another discount for the 2nd key. It is great to not only dealing with a company that appreciates your business but does a great job too. Dealers provide a great opportunity for you to pay a lot more...but I have never supported blatent overcharging. With locks I can depend on AM PM for a fair and affordable price! These electronic keys (even those with just a chip in them like mine) are expensive, but why get taken advantage of by dealers?....AM PM has them all. Cost for an extra key is even less IF you have 2 already (saves on cost of programming) so it may be a good idea to consider getting a 3rd as a back-up now. They also have a full line of remotes (and other accesories). I was not planning on replacing a long damaged remote but now will, with some of the money I saved! If I ever need, or know someone who needs, locksmith services and products (auto, home or business) AM PM is the first call! There was a customer ahead of me who had traveled from Brentwood to San Ramon, (over 40 miles one way) due to a referral to AM PM, and she left with a smile on her face and "thank you, thank you" on her lips. I felt the same way. read more

AMPM Locksmith, San Ramon - Quality, customer service, affordability, hands down is the place to go. Today, I needed a replacement key and remote for my Chrysler 300c and the staff as well as Chida, helped me out and got me moving again. I would recommend their service to anyone around they area. They are truly the one stop shop for all of your locksmith needs! read more

One of three keys to my Toyota stopped turning the car on. I went to the store for a replacement. Key - my mechanic told me it was most likely a failing microchip inside it. They duplicated the key, programmed a new remote for me and even synced the remotes to operate the rear window again. I have used them before to rekeying my house and received great service then too. Definitely a key-per! Lol read more

owner provided a refund when I returned to explain the circumstances and showed the receipt and returned the key. The owner's wife had suggested I return to discuss with owner when he returned from out of the country. read more

Kuldeed was amazing. Super knowledgeable, fast and affordable. Don't go to the dealer if you need a replacement key - go to AMPM.

After calling several locksmiths to no avail over the Fourth of July weekend, these guys answered the phone and helped me out. Even though I had to call twice, they sent out Bill in about an hour and a half. He was very nice to both me and my dog who had been waiting. The cost was very reasonable, which I appreciated. I hate it when businesses try to take advantage of you in a crisis, but these guys didn't. Good job! Thank you!! read more

Bill and PJ came to our condo to install a new door handle/lock on the front door and fixed the porch door handle which wouldn't close properly. I also had them make five keys. Very knowledgeable and the price was reasonable. Highly recommend their service. Would definitely use them again. read more

I needed a key fob replaced on a Dodge RAM dually. I called AMPM and they had it ready same day. They kicked in a few free standard key copies as well. I visited their new location in Livermore. Would definitely use their services again. read more

I was very happy to find a locksmith who could replace my broken fob & cut a new key for my car and then program the key. I was reassured that they replaced these keys all the time, knew the difference between transponder & remote and quoted a price that was reasonable compared to other estimates, especially the very high cost at dealer. I was told that a repair of my broken fob was possible and to bring it in at my convenience for an estimate. AMPM is conveniently located with parking. I couldn't be happier with the replacement, price, and speed of service. read more

I had an extra key made for my sister's car that she purchased used and it only came with one master key and so we had them make another key. Their prices are reasonable and they finished cutting and programing new key within 1/2 hour. read more

Dropped 2 stars from my previous review because I can't get them to repair a problem from their previous repair; might go back up if they come today (5 days since my first post!) read more

I just moved into a new place and have had to call/deal with many equipment and service providers. Working with so many at once makes it very easy to compare, and allows the good and the bad to stand out. This business flat out "wowed" me. They came the same day of my call (wow#1). 2 of my 3 locks were re-keyed lickety split, but the 3rd cylinder was giving them a problem. They didn't give up. They kept trying, exhausting all options - way beyond the normal time allotted for a service call. Eventually, they decided they would need to take they faulty knob and cylinder back to the shop and maybe even replace the entire knob (at no charge to me) (wow#2). I said "okay" but naturally I got nervous that they would ask me to pay them for the 2 they did so far, then I'd never see or hear from them again... right? Well... not at all.... they never once asked for any money. They just left the invoice on my counter and left (wow#3). They next day, O.J. came back with a new cylinder to try. Sadly it too couldn't be correctly inserted into the door knob. They still didn't give up. They were determined to make it work for me. They took it back to their shop again, did something to it, and returned the next day with a working cylinder, lock and knob. So the morale to the story here is that sometimes issues happen with the companies we do business with, sometimes products fail, or things break or otherwise go wrong. That alone does not lose a customer. It's how a business deals with a problem that makes or breaks the relationship. So ironically, it is an issue that gives a company a unique opportunity to make a customer for life... a customer that "Yelps" and "Tweets" and recommends to friends and families, and at cocktail parties. Nice to have this business partner in my virtual Rolodex of trusted companies... I will surely use them again and recommend to others. read more

I locked myself out of my house this morning and AM PM locksmith helped me get back into the house in 15 minutes! Talk about quick service! It is so wonderful to know that there are such reliable businesses out there to help you out so early in the morning! Thank you Javid! read more

I only had one key and remote. These guys were fast, less expensive than others and solid. I brought a new remote and blank key that they coded in less than 20 minutes. They also cut a spare key so I'm now set. Thanks! read more

Fast and friendly, and definitely wants to make sure they make you happy! Only place I could find that can cut and program my 2009 Volkswagen. Much cheaper than the dealer too! read more

This place overcharged me! $158 for a door lock??? give me a break! The tech did not change locks but just fixed it. And when I complained they just said it depends on what tools the tech used... blah blah blah..., really $158!!! im surely not calling this company again! read more

Charged me $45 to cut a key (that I supplied). Told me the price AFTER cutting the key.

Got a Ford key replaced. Did it while I waited. Works great. No problems. Was pretty expensive- not much less than the dealer. I think u can haggle over price - which I regret I didn't. read more

Called ahead to describe my issue (neither of my automatic key systems were functioning properly) and they assured me that they could fix it. Was in and out of the shop in less than twenty minutes with both of my keys working like new! Very courteous and quick service. read more

Failed to show up for scheduled install (took 1/2 day off to be there for a weekday appointment); reminded owner of appointment prior to scheduled install, and again followed up after waiting 30 minutes after scheduled appointment time; owner asked me to reconfirm job and needed hardware, then asked for additional time to be there. Never showed or followed up. Won't attempt to use again. read more

I was in a big bind and AMPM saved my pathetic ass. I lost the key to my lockbox which houses my valuables; including my checking book. In my desperation I tried to pick the lock with of all things a letter opener. Well, guess what? I broke part of the letter opener in the lock. Then a friend of mine suggested that I try to pry it open with a hammer & screwdriver which made things worse because I broke off the lock. So I called around to a couple of the places on yelp with reviews and no one could help me because they wouldn't be available until Monday...well I couldn't wait 'cause I had bills to pay! Luckily, I saw a sign that pointed to AMPM Locksmith just down the hill from me. I took in the lockbox and explained the situation. I think most people would have laughed at me but the guy was very understanding and told me all my options. Then after I agreed to him just breaking it open (I can't find the key anyway!) he took it to the the tool area and was able to open it up within minutes! He was very respectful of my contents and brought it back to the counter for me to open it up. He also told me about a finger print safe (about $300) which would solve any future situations of losing a key...unless I lost my finger I guess. Overall, very knowledgeable & quick service. I hope never to have a need for a locksmith again (other than simple key copying) but I'm calling AMPM if I ever do! P.S. The guy at the counter had gorgeous ice light olive eyes! Nothing to do with the service but I'd never seen eyes like 'em except in Brazil! read more
