I was having a wonderful morning. I arrived to work early and snagged a perfect parking spot…read more Unfortunately, I also left my car keys in my car. The moment I closed my car door, I knew I had made a mistake. After a moment of panic, I jumped in Yelp and looked for a car locksmith. Most of the locations were closed but SoCal Locksmith was open. I called and within 10 minutes my door was unlocked!! He was very professional and kind. He worked quickly. The price was pretty steep($60) but other locations were charging me $95 and above. For the efficiency and the professionalism, I think $60 was worth it. I felt a sigh of relief. I also have no experience with locksmith so I don't know if the price is acceptable or not. Honestly, the quickness of the job felt worth the price.

A trusted locksmith who can resolve a simple yet far from an amateur DIY problem with an expert…read moresolution. $125 got me a simple entry door lock-out problem. Not a complex lock, but a secure one that would be difficult to resolve without a trained locksmith. I don't know comps (comparable) rates by others, but I'd say for a housecall where he has to take time to travel back and forth, plus his professional tools and expertise, it sounded fair enough. Be sure to call Alex. Confirm the details. Provide a photo of the lock itself so he knows what brand or style and can give you the right estimate. If you're in a time crunch or have limitations related to urgency of getting the lock unlocked, be clear and discuss his availability and a realistic arrival time. He has other clients/projects, so there could be miscommunication interpretation delays of where you fall into his schedule that day. I interpreted "in 45 mins" as an ETA (estimated time of arrival) for a job in the South Bay Beach Cities area, but it ended up being closer to 2 hours or so due to his other jobs. So, that was my only minor issue I'd fair warn myself to temper expectations or clarify with him if I ever needed this service. When he arrived, it took him I'd challenge to say less than 3 minutes to pick the lock and unlock the keyed entry without any problems. He does know what he's doing and did it quickly. He was a nice service provider. My testimony review is an approved referral that I'd recommend Alex as a locksmith.

Service Requested: There were two things I have come to Lupe's for which was rekeying several locks so i was only operating off two keys (down from 5) and then I went to the shop to get copies made in mass for employees. For the rekeying service, Lupe came with his mobile van and was able to change all my locks without any issue. Lupe is a master at his craft and is friendly, accommodating, and efficient in preforming it. For the copies I went to the store and Tony made them extremely fast and precise. It was much faster and better than the auto-kiosks you will see in home improvement stores. Quality: My rekeyed locks work great and the copies were flawless. Great quality. Value: You are paying for skill and quality coming to Lupe's and you are paying for that skill. For the multiple services I received I dealt the price was fair.
