James came to my house and programmed and cut my key, 2016 VW Jetta. It worked that day, the next day, I decided to try it out. It started my car right away shortly It died then I try it again it will not start so I grabbed my original key and it worked I had appoints to go to. I called James tried to leave voicemail and it was full so I texted him several times so far no response back. I am with a new key that will not start my car. This is the 3rd time I have tried contacting him. It shouldn't take that long. read more

Made three sets of keys they didn't look like the originals but he insured they would work. They definitely did not work I called the following day he said I would need to wait a week until he got back, no problem I waited. When he got back I called ahead to make sure he was in the office, he said yes come on down, nobody was there. Waited around 30 mins multiple calls with no answer then finally a text sorry be back soon, again no worries I waited another 20 mins or so no one showed up. After I left some time later he then called and said if I wanted him to look at the keys I would need to come back right then or have to wait until next week. Went back he gave some bs excuse about moving the shop and he was a mobile service and widdeled on the keys said any issues he would come out and copy them in the field, again sure whatever. Again keys didn't work this time he had me send the address and gave me some bs about only available after dropping his kids off and before this and that, again no worries sent him the address and never heard from him again ghost my calls and won't respond to text.... Real professional. Save yourself the hassle of having to dispute a charge. read more

Kern Keys - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Spoke to a tech he made mention he had another call and should only take an hour or so . But was extremely concerned and wanted to help us out and would make an effort to come through and take care of us asap ! read more

This was way over due . After being stranded in the middle of no where . I made a call and immediately he said he would come to my location and get my key cut . I called several companies on the weekend and they either responded that they couldn't cut and code my key or they wouldn't make the drive out to my location . The price was very reasonable . Service impeccable and quite frankly I feel like an ass for not tipping him . read more

I had a great experience with James, he is a very knowledgeable person and informed me on a few things about keys and the making of keys. The price was great. I told James I will be back for more keys. I am back and all I can say is that I'll call before I come next time. read more

Kern Keys - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Came to one of their trailer site on Union. Needed a new key fob programmed for my Infiniti G37. James gave a good quote and did the programming in about 10 minutes. He then tested each fob individually. Very professional. read more

Great and quick service, the key for my truck was cut and programmed within 5 minutes

Fast and friendly service - They copied 4 keys in just a few minutes, and it cost less than having them copied at a place like Home Depot.

Called and they told me to send them a picture of my lock and then never responded. I went elsewhere.

Awesome Company called them for a cut and program of my Ford key on Saturday, normally appointment only but he was able to get me in. From time of arrival to leaving maybe 20mins. Quick, very reasonably priced and key worked like a charm!!! read more

James the owner was a very professional easy going and gave great customer service. My Chevy avalanche wouldn't let me turn the key in the lock cylinder. He assured me he could make my key just from a picture of it. My key was very worn and the locking cylinder was jammed up a little. It worked great and was cheap to get done. I highly recommend and would not go anywhere else for this kind of service. read more

Great people great service! These guys were able to do what nobody else could. I called many companies and everyone of them said to make a copy of my Porsche key I must go to the dealer. I was about ready to give up when I called these guys and they said no problem and they got it done! read more

Quick and easy when you lock your key in the car. Kern Keys also makes spare keys, car door keys, and a chip key to start the vehicle. Have used kern keys several times. read more

James was fantastic and helped me when no one else would on a late Saturday afternoon. My ignition was shot and I needed a repair. He drove out helped me get it running and moved over to their location so we could get it completely fixed. Explained everything he was doing along the way and showed me how it was getting fixed. Could not recommend them more. If you want assurance that your lock/key issues are getting quality work done then I hope this review points you in their direction. read more
