Family owned old Jeep had a locked steering wheel and the ignition needed replacing. I called Jim…read moreand he just happened to show up 20 minutes later and was super personable. He diagnosed that the ignition was shot and offered to remove it so we could at least unlock the wheel to tow it. Jim even walked me through how to replace the ignition and put the whole thing back together (which he did not need to do and most companies won't do). Without him this project would have lasted so long with lots of YouTube. I'd recommend him to anyone.

ARC Locksmith in Tacoma is one of those rare gems…read more First off, if you use the "get quote" button on Yelp, it will call EVERY Locksmith in town so be dang careful. Even so, ARC replied to me very first. From the moment I reached out, everything was on point. Artem got back to me right away, kept me updated, and showed up exactly when he said he would. Friendly. Not just polite in the "business sense," but genuinely kind and approachable. He treats you like a person, not just a job ticket. No hidden fees, no surprise charges. Everything was laid out before he even started. That kind of transparency builds enormous trust. He even gave me advice for my broken Chevy G20 van window. I like inside info about what techs are good for other services--especially if HE is this good. You can tell he knows locks inside and out. The job was done efficiently and correctly the first time. What impressed me most was the advice he gave me on how to avoid problems in the future and even ways to save money. Most people just do the job and leave--he actually cares enough to set you up for success long-term. He even gave me free advice on my front door knob (which wasn't the Pathfinder with the FOB key problem I originally called him for). Great communication too. He explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, so I felt confident about what was being done. The whole experience left me impressed--not only did my problem get solved quickly, but I also walked away knowing I had a trustworthy locksmith I can rely on for years to come. In a world where it's hard to find businesses that are professional, honest, and genuinely care about their customers, ARC Locksmith stands out in a big way. If you live in Tacoma (or in the PugetSound area, I'm in Auburn) and ever need a locksmith, do yourself a favor: call ARC Locksmith first. This is the kind of American small business that deserves all the recognition and support. This is my go-to locksmith from here on out. I also gave him a phatty tip for just being cool and saving me an hour of wait around and find out time. Many Thank you's Artem!

I gave him my address and time and he took care of the rest. This is exactly the service and result I need. Best part, he was Very affordable and even fixed something's for free. Yeah, I have a guy now. I full heartedly recommend ARC locksmith!

As always, Ahron was quick to respond and dropped by soon after our inquiry to talk through options and price range. He works on his own, and does an impeccable job.

In fact our neighbor used him just a few weeks later for a new opener. Super nice guy and funny too!

I won't be calling any other garage door company from now on. Trust me, just call this one…read more I got inspection/quotes from a few other garage door shops before Isaac from Instant Garage Door Repair (AKA A.M.B. Garage Doors, they merged apparently). They all found the very obvious issue (door arm was missing) and said "yeah we'll need to replace the entire thing". Isaac actually open/closed the door a few times, looked where it might be catching or rubbing, checked the roller wheels and springs, door alignment, etc. Isaac very clearly knows garage doors -- and he delivered. He was able to service the main maintenance in like 40 minutes; it went from being impossible for my partner to open/close manually to being almost no effort (and it's a heavy door)! In addition, there was a broken and missing piece of plastic where the door arm normally connects... he was able to CUSTOM CRAFT a small piece of metal that fits perfectly into where the missing piece was, removing the need to replace the otherwise-functional system! All of this ran us half what other places quoted us for the full system replacement, and none of them even talked about realigning the door or upgrading rollers or anything, and he did it without needing to schedule another day.
