Needed car remotes set for my Saturn Vue. Paul met me and took care of them for an extremely reasonable cost. (First quote I received from Leo's Locksmith technician was $150 ) and Ellis Locksmith was 1/3 of that . Recommendation to me from Sean at Grah Lock and Safe. Ace Hardware quoted $80 IF I purchased the remotes from them. read more

Was in anothe jam, my technician decided to lock his keys in the car when he was supposed to be working. Called Ellis with my issue and was able to get it resolved right away. I am sure we will be seeing each other again in the near future because you know what they say about teaching old dawgs. read more

Had a last-minute emergency when my key got stuck in my ignition, not allowing me to remove it from the cylinder. After reaching out to multiple "locksmiths" and auto shops, I was lucking enough to get ahold of Paul. Made an appointment, and within a few hours my key was removed and the problem was taken care of. He told me after the the appointment was set, that I was actually out of his normal service zone, but he stayed true to his word and still made his way out. Stellar service and great guy. read more

Lost my key to 2013 Toyota Prius. Called Toyota, $400 for a new key and programming. Really!!!! Called Ellis and Paul said he could get me a key and program it for almost 1/2 that. He showed up and had the key made within about 30 minutes. Very friendly and responsible. If I ever need any locksmith again I will use Paul Ellis. Thank you Paul. read more

We lost our car key and were hopeless in trying to find it. We searched for a good locksmith to make us another key but had a hard time receiving a price right away. THEN my husband found Paul and when he gave him the car info, Paul named the price right then and there! Not only that, but a very very affordable price! It doesn't stop there-- he was very convenient! Paul was at our car 30 minutes after our conversation with him. He is a man of his word and will do his very best! Not only did he make us a new key, he even tried to fix another problem that we didn't know about! Such a sweet heart and genuinely cares to HELP!! Don't look any further! Paul is your man! (: Thanks again, Paul! read more

Helped me out a ton after I locked my keys in my car in La Mesa. Did not rip me off with any hidden fees like other locksmiths.

Wow! This guy is awesome: 1. Arrived super fast/on time 2. Was very reassuring that everything was going to be ok 3. Had a good sense of humor despite the late night request for HELP!! Losing keys is so embarassing/frustrating, however Paul Ellis made it not so bad. read more

Great service and very reasonable prices. I really appreciate you making the trip out of your way to duplicate our car key remote replacement. Very happy with the level of professionalism and quality of service :) Thank you Ellis!!! read more

INCREDIBLE service. My Uhaul rental keys were stolen last night. Every estimate I got was over $175, plus $30-$40 inspection fee. I called Paul at 8AM & he arrived in less than 45min. He was very personable & professional, as well as quick with service. I got 2 new keys matched to the van, payed with card- at my house, & immediately came to write a review. I would highly recommend his business, it's affordable, to the point, & trustworthy. Plus he's just a nice guy to meet. read more

Second time using Paul, this time we locked our only key in the trunk of our car (BMW). Don't ever do that, it's a big problem. We could access the interior of the car, but not the trunk where the key was. Paul showed up and was very good about wearing a mask, social distancing etc and had access to our key within about 20 minutes. Could not believe it, he is a rock star! He then programmed a new key FOB for us and also cut an extra valet key. Nicest guy on the planet, fair and honest. Appreciate the great service, Paul! read more

Excellent service for my lady's car. She was locked out and Paul Ellis was prompt to give a response, agreed on a very reasonable price, arrive at the scene and solve the issue less than 30 minutes. That was my second time contacting them for a service and they were just as excellent the both times. You can't go wrong with Ellis Locksmith. read more

Escaped toddler vs locked closing truck door. My toddler won (because my wife would have killed me otherwise) and for my grand-prize I got a chance to meet Mr. Paul Ellis and support a local business shortly thereafter. Lol Much deserved though. Paul arrived at around 830pm and left at 9:30. The delay was not due to lack of ability but Paul's dedication to helping, service and professionalism. I have a late model Ford and Paul retrieved my key QUICKLY and also me made a replacement key. Thanks Paul for helping. You were awesome! We have your card. Round Two of toddler v. door, I will likely sacrifice an ankle bone to prevent a locksmith expenditure, however if a locksmith is unavoidable, I'll be sending for you...I'll be the one next to the truck...with the bloody ankle, holding the unfazed 2 year old. read more

Tonitght I locked myself out of my office! The gentlemen who showed up was very professional, friendly, and was there promptly. This is the 2nd time I've used these guys in the past several years. The price was competitive and like last time, the service was impeccable. Thank you so much for getting me out of another jam! read more

I had a hard to make key, but Paul refused to give up. He researched and found the correct key blank and came back a second time. I'm so happy that I have two emergency keys now. Great work! Thanks Paul! read more

I locked my keys in the car 2 nights in a row, and was extremely stressed out. My boyfriend & I were arguing, it was quite an ordeal. Paul came to save the day 2 nights in a row!!! The first night was at 1:30 AM, after I'd already called 3 other locksmiths & all 3 of them flaked & didn't show up. The parking lot my car was in was closing in 30 minutes, leaving me at risk to get towed, and I was freezing my buns off because my jacket was locked inside the car, along with my keys. I called Ellis Locksmith, and promptly received a text from Paul, asking me what he could do to help. I told him my situation & he said he'd be there in 20 minutes. Sure enough, 15 minutes later he arrived & got into my car really quickly! He was friendly & professional. The next night, to my disbelief, the keys got locked in the car AGAIN. Paul came through for me for the second night in a row, showed up quick, & got my car open. Except this time, he made me a spare key to my 1996 geo prism free of charge! Great service from a great guy! Thanks Paul, you da man! read more

Great Locksmith,..Paul was a pleasure to deal with. He has great customer service and is very knowledgeable with a superior professional edge. I had to use ELLIS LOCKSMITH.COM when the keys to my 2014 GMC Sierra Crew Cab were lost somewhere on Naval Station San Diego. I contacted Paul and gave me a very good quote (by far the better of the five I called including the car dealership‍) that was nice to the wallet. The service I received was far beyond the monetary value. Paul cut me a new key, programmed a new fob, and reprogrammed my only spare key and fob. Plus, he was expedient, efficient, and extremely professional. I will definitely recommend ELLIS LOCKSMITH.COM over any of his competitors. Paul is available around the clock 24/7 and on mobile. He will be referred to those military and civil service workers on various bases. Great Job Paul, and the rest of the crew at ELLIS LOCKSMITH.COM !!!!!!!! read more

Great service. He gets back to you promptly. Arrives when he says he will and gets the job done. I recommend highly.

Very fast service and Paul is a real nice and helpful guy. Recommend to call Ellis Locksmith whenever you got locked out. read more

I have to say I could not have made a better choice! I have never had been in this situation before so had no idea of what to think or to expect. I contacted him asked for a quote (which I was scared to hear the price to replace my key fob for my infiniti) but after giving him the details of my car he assured me he would be able come to my house and make me a key on the spot for my doors and program a new key fob for me as well. To my surprise ,Paul(the locksmith) got to my house chatted a little bit and within about 30mins if not less he was done and man I could not be more thankful! Overall he was friendly,easy to talk to, did a great job,and most importantly he didn't tax me like the dealership would have because they basically wanted $400 for a new key plus I would have had to get towed to the dealership... So again I am beyond thankful to Paul for coming to my aid with such speed and a great price. I will definitely be holding on to his card just in case I ever lose my keys again or if any family or friends run into the same issue I will be recommending Ellis Locksmith as a go to that's for sure. read more

Well this review is probably long over due but here it is. I lost my keys to my car, house, everything.. This guy was amazing and created me a key for my car on the spot and also fixed my door handle!! He also made me a key for my house and I was quoted the lowest price out of all of the locksmiths I called. I have an old ass car and a lot of places said they would have to possibly order the key. He was able to find a key for my car and showed up the next day for service. I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you Paul! read more
