    Thomas, thanks for being so courteous on our conversation trying to calm me down when I was having a stressful day with NOT being able to locate my car keyfob this morning- Feb 16, 2026 For their overall prompt, Tony came to me in LESS than 15 mins!! To come over for a house-call with an immediate key fob that was made for me actually made me feel so much better, with less anxiety for sure. Thankful for ALL your help to my service man, Tony!! **P.S.- Enclosed his photo that was sent, so you know the EXACT service man I'm referring to.

    Good as new!!

    Hello December !!! Stopped by Busy Bees Locks and Keys Locksmith (cute name btw) because I needed a new set of auto keys. My old key was hanging on for dear life. The buttons had fallen out, it was cracked, and it was long overdue for retirement. The dealership would have charged me an arm and a leg and probably my whole salary but Busy Bees saved me big time! Travis cut and programmed my replacement car key on the spot. He was super friendly, personable, and a great conversationalist. I was in and out in about 15 to 20 minutes. Luckily, I was the first one there with no appointment. So no wait! Woot! They also have multiple locations and their hours vary so check out their website for the details. You can book online or just walk-in like I did. They also have other services and is mobile. You can really tell this is a family-owned business that loves what they do. No upsell, no pressure. Just honest quality service at a reasonable price. Plus, it is right in the heart of Little Italy so you can reward yourself with some good food or enjoy the Waterfront views nearby. Zero complaints here. I felt completely at home and well taken care of. I will definitely be coming back whenever I need locksmith services. Highly recommend!

    Funny sign!

    Came here years ago when I first moved to San Diego and they were able to make duplicate keys that another locksmith couldn't -it was a special size. Today, I brought another unusual key and Thor (Store Mgr) took the time to take pictures and contact their other locations to try and find a match. He's still working it so wish me luck! While there, I made 3 duplicate keys that Thor churned out before I could blink my eyes. Need keys for your house or car? Come here!! Excellent service, friendly, professional, great sense of humor and holy cow they have a million keys to choose from!

    This is the best key place in town. The employees are great and they get the job done quickly. I recommend Busy Bees to everyone.

    Are they AAA approved?

    No. We can do it but AAA would need to reimburse you. For AAA you have to contact them directly.

    Hello, I need an extra key FOB for a 2010 Lexux RX 350. Are you able to make one for this year/model?

    Absolutely. We are able to make keys for all Lexus up to 2024.

    I have 1 fob key and I need an extra one for 2013 MB M350. Do you provide this service? Thanks.

    Hi, that year is on the cusp of what's supported. Can you look at the side of the tip of your current key? If it's 7 digits it's supported by our software. If it's 8 digits it's not supported and would need to go to the dealer.

    Do you offer a senior discount?

    Yes we can offer a 10%

    Hello, I bought an aftermarket remote for my 2014 Cadillac SRX. How much would it be to have the key cut and program?

    Is it a seperate key and remote or all in one? Can you send us a picture to busybeesquote@gmail.com so we can quote accurately?

    How much is it for a backup key and fob for 2005 Toyota Camry if I have a current set?

    Hi, thanks for checking in. If your key is a transponder chip equipped key it would be $90. Otherwise it would be $6 if all metal. A factory remote also runs $90 in our shop. Please let us know if you want to make an appointment.

    Is there a military discount offered with these locksmith services?

    We offer a 10% military discount. We appreciate your service.

    I have a Honda Element. I change the ignition cylinder but it needs to be reprogram. Do offer this service?

    It would depend on whether or not the antenna ring was damaged or not when the ignition was replaced. If it was, it would need to be replaced and reset by the dealership. We can come out and try to program it in if you like. What area of San… 

    Do they take checks? Or cash?

    We only take business checks. We do take debit cards.
