I gave Ian a bunch of tasks from not too bad (spare Ranger Rover key and fob), to difficult (spare chipped key for a Vespa scooter), to "how the hell are we going to fix this?" (I had lost the keys to my brand new electric SONDORS bike!). He solved each issue, and went WAYYY beyond what was required to help me out. Pricing was extremely reasonable, and he was on time. Cannot recommend him highly enough. read more

Great service, great company!!! This was my first experience with locksmith services. I would never think anything like that could have happened to me:) I licked my keys in a trunk of the car at a parking lot near the Jons Market. I called Artemis Locksmith and they were there within 5 minutes. They opened the trunk really fast although they had to make the key right there. Fastest service, the best price. Very nice, kind and polite staff!!! Thank you again!!! read more

If you have an Mercedes and need a key, please call Artemis now. If you do, your car will start and you will have a great rest of the day, and you do not need to read the rest of this review. (stop reading and call) Smile. Life is great. *************If you are skeptical by nature, a sadist, or want only frustration as a result of your work, you can 1) contact Merz dealership (unnamed downtown LA dealership): wont sell you any key, not even a mechanical key for 99 S500 no matter how much you offer. "We no longer sell that key, Sir." 2) call Merz corporate USA. Spare yourself the an hourlong headache as you finally hang up with the lady as she keeps saying: "the keys are currently out of stock, sir, i can take your information and contact you when we get more of them--" 3) call Mercedes corporate classic cars outta Irvine- another dead end. 4) Call merz corporate in germany, same damn answer as option 1. 5) Service Dept at Merz dealershit might suggest having car towed there for them to look at it. Don't. They won't do anything. 6) You can spend a couple hours/days/weeks trying to find a locksmith who will do an older merz, and when you finnaly find Artemis, and he meets you at the merz dealership, and helps you Push your mercedes off their goddamn lot into the street becuase they won't let us "work" on the vehicle while on their outdoor lot (keeping in mind they wont even make a key for their product). Then and only then could you understand why I wrote what I wrote about this locksmith. Call Artemis and Life is Good. read more

Ian of Artemis is a great guy. He was able to come out and make 2 new Range Rover smart keys and their hidden special physical key for less than the dealer wanted for 1 smart key and they wanted extra to program it. He was very clean and cautious with the car while he disassembled it to get to the hidden computer and was very good putting it back together. He showed us that all the buttons on each key functioned and that the physical keys work. Great guy, will use again if we need to and will definitely recommend. read more

Great speedy service! Ian was at our house within an hr of contacting him. My bf lost the only key to we had to our BMW 750 Li, but that was no problem once Ian arrived he had a key for us within minutes!!! Definitely looking fwd to doing work with him in the future...fast, friendly, and affordable you can't beat that! read more

Man what can I say Ian is the best out there man I really recommend him I had to call 2 technitians and they couldn't get it done and didnt get my car to turn on they gave me run around they put this other devices but Ian man he has the tools and he a very patient guy and smart And knows what's his doing I recommend him to all prius owners and to any body else 5 star review read more

Absolutely the best deal in town, not sure if you know how much it costs to make a Mercedes sl500 key, but lets just say it's not something you want to go to the dealer for especially when you have a down to earth dude like Artemis with amazing prices that comes to you and handles his job with the quickness. It was 9pm but no problem, he got me back on the road within half an hour of my call to him and man it felt good, especially after losing my key earlier that day and the depressed feeling of having to spend an arm and a leg at the dealership he sure lit up my night when he told me he can make the key for far less than a Mercedes dealer or any other locksmith. Thank you bro, you are the best, better then all the rest, my go to guy when I get locked out of anything or lose keys to anything is you from here on out... Can't thank you enough... read more

Ian was awesome! He was the 4th Locksmith I called and no one could do the key because it was a 2016 which requires very sophisticated technology. He showed up within 30 minutes and did the job in 20!! He also was cheaper than any other locksmith by 25%! I would recommend Ian to all my friends and family when you're in a bind and need a nice, honest guy with great rates! Thanks Ian! read more

Excellent, my key broke on my 2000 Mercedes ml320, and Ian got me 2 keys for cheaper then anyone that quoted me, do not waste your time and money calling someone else. read more

Shoutout to Ian for saving me last minute! Great guy and definitely cheaper than most locksmiths I've called. He was finished in less than 5 minutes and will accept a credit card on the spot. Thank you! read more

I would recommend artemis locksmith 100%.  I lost the key to my 2015 Prius C. Ian came out and was able to make a new key and program it on the spot in less than ten minutes. He was very nice, fast, honest, and I felt very safe.  I can't recommend Ian enough. read more

One of the best mobile locksmiths servicing Los Angeles and other surrounding areas. I lost my key to my Mercedes C350 on 12/29/2018. After calling about 5 other locksmiths and the Mercedes dealer, I called Artemis and was given an excellent quote. Artemis came out to the location where my car was and programmed my key right from his mobile van. He was very professional and courteous. He took his time and made sure everything was done right! It took about an hour in a half to program the key, but he got it done. I will definitely be utilizing his service again, and I recommend him to anyone in need of a affordable, reliable, and trustworthy locksmith. read more

I can't say enough about this guy. He's so great, saved me time, saved me money, was quick to respond, made the key fast! Clearly love what he does, and so professional. If you ever need keys to your car, this is the guy to call. Great attitude, just can't say enough. I Lost my BMW key, and thought it'll be an arm and a leg to get it done. The dealer was expensive, had to tow my car there, and it would have taken 3 days. I called around, and many locksmith don't even work on this car, and the few who does gave me attitude, like they're doing me a favor to even talk to me. Ian was nice over the phone, and really wanted to help. Gave me a good price, made the key in under 20 minutes, and saved me so much time and hustle. Thank you Artemis Locksmith! Thank you Ian. I will recommend you to all my friends, and will use you again in the future. Great job! read more

After the airline lost my keys I explored several options for getting my car back online. Either tow the car to the dealership and have them re-key the smart keys (it would take a long time and was expensive) or find a mobile locksmith. I chose the latter and found Ian. He answered the phone promptly, listened to what I needed, set a very convenient time, and kept in contact with me til he arrived at the parking garage. I could not be happier as I was stressed. He explained the options and cost. As someone had boxed me in on the driver's side it made getting into the car more difficult. Ian was able to open the car and start re-keying the car. He was efficient, capable, courteous, and quick. In less than an hour he was finished (all his tools are with him) and I was on my way. Whoa, this was pretty epic service. I wish he could give lessons on customer service because he ROCKS! 24 hours later, the keys (used OEM's) all work and I'm very satsfied. read more

Fast service nice guy they will come to your door!!! Done within 15 min. I went to dealer and they told me the price is way more expensive and he did it less than half price. Also gave me cute key chain. read more

Artemis Locksmith - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me

This guy created a car key for us when we lost our original. Charged us $320 and within 3 years, the key has stopped working and all of the buttons have stopped functioning. We have never experienced the buttons on a car key to stop functioning ever, much less in 3 years. We called him today to ask why this was happening and he said his guarantee is only for 30 days and started yelling and being irate about why we were calling 3 years later. We could have had a key replacement at Lexus directly for $400 and instead went with this this guy which turned out to be a grave mistake. Low end, low quality, no service and really nasty awful guy. Beware! read more

Phenomenal experience! Ian is such a great dude. He was, fast, kind, and was the best price I found by far. I would recommend Artemis Locksmith to anyone! read more

Overall, I had a pretty good experience with this locksmith. Like an idiot, I lost my only key to my car, so I called around multiple places to see if I can get a new key. After contacting him he arrived within two hours and was pretty quick to do the job. Only charged me $200 and $5 for a spare, which seemed like a reasonable price as other places I called gave me $225 and $250 quote. If you need any help with keys, I would suggest this guy :) read more

look no further, Artemis is and should be your locksmith ! when all hope is lost, Eyal will restore it. Needed a replacement key ASAP and every dealership and locksmith was trying to charge me an absurd amount, as well as have me tow the car to their location. Not only did Artemis give me a reasonable rate, they also came to me within an hour. They took something that is often an arduous process and made it as painless as possible. Thank you Artemis for the convenient and reliable service! You saved me from a tow fee and potential parking ticket. read more

He was very helpful and walked me through how to resolve my issue over the phone.

The company was the best priced in Hollywood and West Hollywood. Ian called me to confirm he was on his way and was so knowledgeable about my car and he was definitely the quickest locksmith I've ever had. Highly recommend Artemis Locksmith! Thank you. read more

Unbelievably fast, reliable, friendly service. Lost my only car key and every other locksmith I called thought it'd be more beneficial to exploit the situation to make an extra buck. But not Artemis Locksmith!! Ian got to me very quickly. Quoted me a fair, solid price. No hidden fees and service charges (unlike Fidelity Locksmith. They're the worst). Ian was extremely friendly and professional. Took him less than 5 minutes to make me a new key and he even made me a spare for the door. I recommend Artemis Locksmith over any other company and will make sure he's the only one my friends and family use in Los Angeles. read more

This is a really good guy he does the job fast and quick really nice helped me fix my 2001 Mercedes c240 in under one hour trust me only go to this guy really helpful read more

Ian is a lifesaver.. He saved me twice in the past two years.. The first time I lost my keys to my BMW.. I called around and none of the local locksmiths had the to equipment to make a BMW key.. I found Ian and not only he got to me under an hour he was cheaper than what the dealership was trying to charge me.. He saved me again today when my lock stop working on my car because my car is a 1999 and the lock is old.. He fixed my lock and made me a remote so I don't have to bother with the key to open the door anymore.. Plus, he did this in the comfort of my job parking lot.. I did not have to miss any work time.. I recommend him to all my family and friends.. Especially those with foreign cars because 99 percent of the other locksmiths will not be able to open your door.. read more

Great service, price! Fast and professional. Will definitely recommend to friends & relative. He programmed the key of my 2000 VW New Beetle. He did it in no time. Thanks Ian. read more

I called Ian about getting a key cut for my Ford truck. He quoted me $85 and said he could come by that afternoon. After rescheduling and finally arriving around 9pm, he performed the service. He then tried to charge me $110. When I asked why it was more than he quoted, he mentioned there was an additional service fee. When I pressed him further to understand where this service fee came from, he provided a vague yet abrupt answer about how this is just how much these services cost and that I was getting a good deal. My family was waiting for me and I wasn't in the mood to argue, so I signed the bill. Later, I text him that he should only have charged me what he quoted me. He agreed to refund me the difference. A few hours later he text me that he can't figure out how to do partial refunds, but to keep in mind for future service. He seems to be a competent locksmith, but apparently may not honor his quoted price. read more

I called Ian and he showed up very quick. I only needed to re key my current locks and he did it right on the spot. Would highly recommend.

Lost the remote key to my car. Didn't have an extra and my car has no ignition key either (I didn't have an extra cut key anyways), I really needed a new remote key ASAP. Called the dealership and needless to say they wanted to charge me an arm & a leg for a new one + I had to pay to get the car towed to them. I found Ian's post on a very well known online classified's site. He responded promptly, came to the car (no towing to pay!) was efficient, professional and an all around very nice guy! Not to mention that he charged roughly half of what the dealership wanted. His number is on speed dial on my phone now :) I will recommend him to all my family and friends! read more

Thank you, thank you thank you! After losing my keys tearing the house apart looking for them, checking my Tile app with no luck and orchestrating a crazy ballet of kid/work pick up and drop off with my husband's car, I finally gave in to the fact that I threw my keys away. I called Artemis Locksmith and he arrived 15 minutes later. He is super friendly, professional and FAST. After he removed my door lock only then did I remember that I had the doors rekeyed years ago when my keys were stolen but had not messed with the ignition. I caused him an inconvenience by not letting him know this first off but he was pleasant and reassured he could work around it. In about 20 minutes I had two new keys and a fob to unlock/lock my car and open the side slider doors. He even fixed a years long problem I'd had with my car alarm. Thanks a million. Trustworthy, fast and great prices. Look no further for a competent, friendly and fast smart key replacement locksmith. read more

If you're looking for a guy to come out at his leisure, overcharge you by more than twice his quote, and then explain to you that there is no such thing as a flat rate... then please, call this service. In 15 minutes he completed the work, and then told me that to replace the ignition switch cost $330. When I asked him why, he proceeded to tell me all about how there is no transparency in his business; that he charges whatever he wants "by the job". He wouldn't disclose the cost of the parts, or anything for that matter... compared what he does to how the state charges taxes. When I pointed out that State Tax rates a clearly assigned, he told me that what he charges could be compared to the cable service I pay for; that fees are hidden all over the place. I pointed out that cable companies have an obligation to notify me of all fees... and that his comparisons were like "apples to oregano". He offered me absolutely no explanation, and told me that I was paying him for his years of training and expertise. I would NEVER recommend him, or any third party agent associated with his business-- it has SCAM written all over it. read more

I definitely recommend Artemis locksmith. I lost my keys to my vehicles. Ian showed up right away and made my keys to my vehicle. He was done in 30 min. read more
