What really impressed me was his dedication and professionalism. The key presented some challenges, but Makii went above and beyond, taking extra time to do additional research and troubleshoot until everything worked perfectly. His knowledge, patience, and commitment to customer satisfaction truly set him apart. It's hard to find someone who takes that level of pride in their work these days. If you need a car key cut, programmed, or any locksmith services, I highly recommend Makii and Advance Security Safe & Lock. Thank you again for the outstanding service!

I called to get a price for a new key fob from a Subaru dealer and was told a new fob with programming would be over $600. Plus, they would have to order the key fob would delay me getting a new key fob several days. After an Internet search I decided to call Advanced Security. Not only did they have the right key fob in stock, they came to my house with it. In about 15 minutes everything was done. I was amazed by their service , plus I paid about half of what the dealer wanted to charge me. I highly recommend Advanced Security based upon my experience with them.

It never occurred to me to get a service call so I reply," you are the expert, what should I do." He says he is not an expert, "just tell me what you want." He seemed irritated and annoyed. So I walked out. I will never recommend this company again.
