    New fob. Got it protected ASAP.
    Esmeralda C.

    Definitely great service. Joe came to my home and had my fob ready in 40 min. He gave me options. He was very flexible with hours as well. Definitely recommend this service. You can't beat the prices. Best part he works all Orange County.

    Old broken key fob and new key fob
    Doug B.

    The unlock/disarm button on the key fob for my girlfriends Chevy Equinox broke off on a late Thursday afternoon. I found a few local shops who could have replaced it, but she works weekdays, and they were closed on weekends. I did a Yelp search and Cheap Auto Key was the top recommended business with 100% five star reviews. I dialed the number the following morning, and Joe answered immediately. I explained the situation and he said it was a quick job, and that he had the key fob for her car in stock. His service is mobile, and we arranged to meet at her car a few hours later. He arrived very promptly, and we were texting each other on the way to coordinate our arrival times. It took him less than ten minutes to duplicate the physical key pattern and match the transmitter in the new fob to her car. He tested it for accuracy, and then handed over the new fob to me to test out. Of course, it worked perfectly. Not only did Joe do a great and fast job, he was the nicest guy you'll ever meet. He was so friendly and personable, we chatted the whole time while he was doing the job. His price was very reasonable, and quite a bit less than the other local shops I called. He even gave me an extra battery for the new key fob at no charge. He told me that there was a two year warranty on the parts and labor, and to give him a call if we have any problems at all. I would highly recommend Joe and Cheap Auto Key!

    After going to a strip mall store that "also does auto keys" to get a second key for my Toyota RAV4 and discovering how hard modern Toyota keys are for most "locksmiths" to duplicate and program, I contacted Joe at the advice of Grok. He spent a good amount of time educating me on key tech and was able to come out in a matter of hours. Long story short he was on time, professional and friendly. The price was very reasonable considering what a dealer might charge. Also, I discovered through Grok and confirmed by Joe that a less experienced locksmith can cause a total computer lockout resulting in my car not being able to have any additional keys made, smogged, or have CELs cleared. Very glad to have had called Joe and he gets my highest recommendation.

    Joe got me back on the road !

    The guys at Cheap Auto Key always doing great work !! Joe is the best ... he helped us out when we were stuck with my 2016 VW golf when no one else could and at a great price too ! Thanks again you guys!

    See all

    Sean Moradi was so nice and worked so fast! Got me a new key quickly and was very personable and…read moregreat to talk to! Highly recommend him for excellent service! :)

    *** By appointment only ***…read more I initially came here on Sunday which I later realized the office door was locked. Luckily a gentleman named Sherwin was preparing his van and he was able to diagnose the issue on the spot. [Issue]: My car remote control was not working and somehow my car's windows kept rolling down. [Dianoise]: Sherwin said the issue was due to bad remote signal and not a battery issue. To fix the issue, he will need to reprogram my key. I told him that I can't do it right now so he removed the battery to prevent my car windows from automatically rolling down. He even showed me a trick on how to manually opening/closing windows with the physical key by (1) unlock the driver's door with the key and (2) within 10 seconds of returning the key to the central position turn the key in the unlock direction and hold it there. He didn't ask for any service fee but I still tipped the man. [Visit]: Couple days later I called the office number and asked for Sherwin. He eventually called back and we scheduled an appointment at my place. He stopped by my place with his van and was able to reprogram my key in approximately 15 minutes. The cost was $80 for one key and my remote key was working again. [Conclusion]: Sherwin is the man - amazing service and very friendly person to talk to.
