I got a key made last year. The guy came to me and did it in the garage. He was really helpful and nice. I really don't remember his name lol but Yelp just suggest writing a review since I did use their services and found them here and since he was such a good dude, I just wanted to mention that lol all this time later. read more

Service is great. They are closed on Tuesdays. A little pricey but cheaper than the dealer to get key FOBS made there. They offer a lot of things read more

I had such a great experience at Car Key Specialist. Yovani was the gentleman who helped me. He really knew his stuff and had exactly what I needed in no time. Super quick, super professional, and honestly just easy to work with. Their prices are fair too, which is always a nice bonus! I also found out they can program garage door openers---how convenient is that? I'll definitely be using them again and totally recommend them to anyone who needs fast, reliable key or garage door help. Also, my key isn't just any old key--it is a key for a 2006 E350 Mercedes-Benz. Car Key Specialist was a great find!! read more

Short story: Both Car keys were cut wrong. Long version: I spoke to a guy in the Glenoaks location on October 30th. About doing me a favor and cutting me a Mazda 3 key. I was the one that provided him with a blank key and he let me know that he could cut it but the car would not start if he did not program it. I told him that was fine and I DIDN'T need it programmed. After a little back and forth He went ahead and cut the key. Charger me a whole $10. We talked for a bit and after a while he told me he had 10 years of experience and to only trust him. I felt more confident in his words and I whipped out another key that I had just in case he may mess up and take my chances with somebody else. Charge me another $5. Sadly to say he messed up on both. Now I'm out two blankies and $15. Moral of the story: listen to your gut, let him cut one and see how it goes. If he fails, then you know to move on. :) read more

Car Key Specialist - The business card for both locations. - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - Panorama City, California

I lost my only car keys while on vacation, and was desperately searching for someone able to cut and program a transponder key without needing a copy. I found a few other places with very obviously fake reviews, so I reached out to CKS because the reviews here seemed pretty legitimate. I sent an email via the contact form on their website, and someone reached out to me within 5 minutes. The dealership price was going to be $250 - $300 (and I would have to tow my car there), but these guys had an all-inclusive price much lower AND came to me! I also contacted them on the only day a week they are closed, and they still had a technician at my door in 20 minutes. Would 100% recommend to anyone. read more

This place is the best. My boyfriend recently broke his car controller and at the dealer they were charging him way too much for a new one. We came to check this place out and we were in shock in how nice they guys here were and they had way more affordable prices. Only took 30 mins to fix and was like brand new. Definitely come to this guys if you need anything fixed !! read more

Great place for your car key needs! No wait and work was completed right away. Excellent customer service!

It was going to cost me over $500 to get new keys and they were able to do it for under $100 and took less than 30 minutes

Car Key Specialist - Got my duplicate smart FOB key for my car in no time! Competitive prices! - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - Panorama City, California

This place was a complete lifesaver and they were reasonably priced. My car key was on its last leg, the edge metal key was hanging on by a thread and I couldn't be left stranded. I called and asked if they could help me out. They informed me that if I still had my key, I could cheaply replace the housing. If I didn't have the housing or ended an extra key, it would be a little more. I came in with pieces of my spare key, which I stopped using to use my current key that was on its last leg. Within 15 minutes I walked out with two working keys. This is not a place you go to weekly, but if you ever need a replacement key, I would go here first. Very happy and would happily recommend them to anyone who needs a new key or a repair. read more

I lost my car keys in Granada hills and they gave me a quote and showed up to help me 30 mins later. It took a total of about 20 mins to the guy to make me 2 keys with a chip for my car for $180. Great price for two keys and fast enough service. read more

Make sure you speak Spanish when you walk in or they will rip you off. I brought in a spare key to get cut for my car and they literally charged me double the amount of what they charged the guy next to me for the EXACT same thing. FYI I speak Spanish, so I could understand literally everything they were saying. Really not cool, and very unprofessional. Definitely not going back, the kiosk at Ralph's does just as good of a job for less hassle. read more

Great place in the Panorama City Swap Meet. I've used their services several times. Most recently, I got an extra fob and key for a Toyota Highlander I recently bought. The dealership wanted to charge $200 and Car Key Specialist charged substantially less. Quick and efficient. read more

Took my Motorcycle keys to get a duplicate and I was in and out in 10 minutes. Took me longer to wait for my tacos at the Burro Goool, than for them to make me two keys. I have used them several times and I'm very thankful they are still at the indoor swapmeet. These guys are the BEST...!!! Gracias. read more

I bought a key for my 2000 Honda Accord EXV6 online and took it to the Car Key Specialist to have it cut and programmed. They did it all for only $40! I called two other places near me and they wanted $50 and $60. The key that I brought them wound up being the wrong key, but Car Key gave me a new one for FREE. They treated me right. read more
