He came out of his way to Factoria, to have a go at programming my daughter's 2017 Nissan Leaf fob...turns out a non-trivial task due to the finickiness of those keys. 90 minutes later, we have a new key. Fair price, convenient, and got it done. Not much more you can ask. read more

Talked with Alex to cut a new key for my car after my old key fob broke. We were able to schedule a time quickly and for a great price! Would recommend to anyone looking for a key cut in a timely fashion read more

Alex is truly the Key Doctor! I called around to a few places to find someone to cut a key for my truck. The key has a transponder. The entire mobile locksmith business model for automotive is built around the idea that a single re-key purchase from a dealership will cost over $200, and mobiles will charge around $125-$150 for the same service as a cheaper option. I didn't need the key programmed, though, which is the bulk of the cost at the dealership or via a mobile. I simply needed the key cut. Where six or seven other locksmiths quoted me between $75 and $150, with a service fee tacked on, Alex understood what I was asking for, and charged me only $20 for the visit, and $20 for the labor. The first cut failed due to a flaw in the aftermarket key blade I had. When I got my hands on replacement blades, Alex rolled out to my house a second time, and cut the key for me, with no issues. I am very pleased, and I would recommend Alex to anyone who needs locksmith services. read more

I have known the key doctor for a number of years through a previous job. I hadn't had to call for my personal cars until now. This morning I had my original key break on me and I managed to get it out of the ignition and I called him right away. He was able to get me on his schedule the same day and arrived to my home a few hours later. He gave great information and explanation on his process and pricing and even redid some keys for another one of our vehicles that I hadn't mentioned in my initial call. The key doctor has extremely fair pricing compared to dealerships and does quick quality work. Highly recommended to anyone who needs help! read more

I couldn't recommend Alex more highly. I needed a transponder key made for my college age daughter's car. I am over 1,000 miles away from where her car is. The car is a very old model Lexus and all I had for him to go on was an emergency key, which was a metal duplicate of the key in a plastic card-shaped holder with the chip separately embedded in the holder. He hadn't seen this kind of thing before. He cut and programmed a key, but was unable to test it since we were not in proximity to the car. He was honest enough to say there was a small chance of it not working due to his being unable to test it himself. He gave me detailed instructions to pass on to my daughter about how to use a new key in such an old car. I was confident that should there be any issue, he could be trusted to take care of any issue that might have arisen. I mailed the key to my daughter and it worked perfectly from the get go. We are more than pleased and I will not hesitate to call him should I have any need in the future. read more

I recently lost my only fey fob that was the only one given to me when I purchased my new Subaru, so I was feeling really lost as far as what to do. I thought I'd have to go to the Subaru dealership to purchase one and was told it would cost 800.00 ! My friend suggested I call the key doctor. She had recently had a good experience. I called Alex, the owner and he was able to help me within 30 minutes. He was very nice and so professional. I felt comfortable with him immediately. He was able to make me a key fob on the spot within an hour, for less that the dealership quote and so nicely made me a spare! His was meticulous as well as his portable business he worked from. I would highly recommend The Key Doctor if you are ever in need. Ask for Alex . read more

I had Alex look into some key-related issues with my BMW. It's a complicated car with a rather archaic entry system, but Alex took extra time and care to troubleshoot the issue. We determined that there were other issues with the car impacting the access system. He made a new key for me anyway at a fraction of the cost of the dealer, plus promised to take care of me when I get the other issues sorted. I'd absolutely recommend him for all your automotive entry needs. read more

Horrible customer service the older guy possibly the owner disconnected my remote from my car and only kept the key on there and didn't offer anything after his mistake just left with my money if the dealer has no problem programming it then the least You should've done as a business own was pay for ur mistake to get my key working I have to go to dealer now and have them program it for $180 horrible company also was opening his door knowing I was right there and hitting me with the door No lies told company is cheap but not quality read more

Alex was super professional. He showed up in 20 mins. Fastest and best service i have ever received from a lock smith. He was kind and respectful. 150% recommend. He is pro military and treated me with the utmost respect. Thank you Alex. If I ever have a lock out I will make sure to contact you and only you. read more

We lost our only key fob for our VW Tiguan. Alex was very accommodating and a great communicator.

Alex came to our home to completely rekey one of our vehicles due to losing the only set we had. He was very reliable, showed up on time, and got it done; ignition and door locks! Very professional and very fair pricing. We highly recommend Key Doctor Alex! read more

I called several people about making a spare key for my Velar and none were able to do it except for Alex! Apparently it's quite complicated and after a couple of tries he was able to do the impossible ... and at much less than than what the dealer was asking! Great value, reliable, easy to work with, and great service ... couldn't ask for more! If I ever need car key services in the future, I definitely won't hesitate to call again! read more

I bought a used car recently and the seller didn't tell me the car only had one key until I was ready to drive home!! Alex came to my work and made a new proximity key. He was polite, informative and professional. His van is like a rolling laboratory! Saved hundreds over the dealer price. read more

First of all I barely ever do reviews but with this service I had to. I have a 2006 Jaquar S type I lost my keys and of course the dealership was going to charge me $425. to order/program, my triple A was going to charge me $600 and I called over 15 Locksmith throughout all over King County and they just flat out told me know they didn't have the equipment for my type of Key however when I called Key Doctor they said they can't do it. They was so helpful they explained to me the steps on what I needed to do, they were so reasonable they actually had a key machine for Jaquar. They knew I was stressed so they calmed me down came to where I was and made the key. Now I'm.bavk driving. If you have any type of car. Call them first don't go through the hassle to hear all the No's or having to wait for companies to call you back. Key Doctor the way to go. Tye read more

I would avoid this business at all costs. Alex withdrew his initial quote of 180, tried to "black list" me when I refused to pay the higher rate. read more

I had a fob for my Nissan Max that broke in half! So instead of going to the dealership and paying a fortune I gave Key Doctor. Alex was very prompt and professional, arriving to my house the same day I got my new fob in the mail. He programmed two new fobs for me and cut an emergency key, all for a reasonable cost. Alex is honest, prompt, and professional. The whole process took about 40 mins. I highly recommend Key Doctor! read more

I called Key Doctor to get a pair of 2 keys to be programmed, luckily he had 2 keys just in stock, the total was 300$ and 20$ for travel fee, however after short couple months both of the keys broke because of the same problem, a little piece within the fob broke disabling the battery and chip connection. After a certain amount of pressed the little piece becomes loose and breaks off, Alex told me I broke it and there is nothing he can do. I checked online with some of the top key doctors around and they concluded that this key he sold me is a 5$ Chinese made key. I got ripped off, don't be the next one. read more

Alex showed up on time. Communication was excellent. Price was as promised. He set expectations that he may not be able to fix and I appreciated that. But, he was able to fix my car lock and he did it fast! Made me a new key too! I recommend Key Doctor and would use his service again! read more

Bought a car and needed to get a second proximity key. Contacted Key Doctor and Alex replied promptly. Came to my house this morning and told me it would take about :30 minutes to program the fob and cut the valet key. Alex was professional, polite and did a great job for me. He explained that he had to remove some items from the glove box to facilitate the programming and I appreciate him letting me know. I would highly recommend his service to anyone who needs to get a key made or a fob programmed. Alex is on Rainier Avenue very close to Renton for those who are looking. read more

I had Alex make me a valet key for my Porsche Cayman. He was prompt, friendly and highly efficient throughout the whole process. He is going to make me a full key with programmed key fob next week. I highly recommend him... read more

Alex replaced my key a few months ago when I left it against the furnace and my key was destroyed. They key fob needed a battery replacement and Alex was super responsive and helpful. He works with customers and give good value for his work! read more

This is 2nd time we used Key Doctor. Bought preowned truck that only had 1 key. Bought refurbish key online to have cut. Alex, owner of Key Doctor, unfortunately was not able to make that work for us. He did have our key in his inventory. Still less than what dealership would have charged us, plus he didn't charge for key cut due to refurbish not working. Highly recommend not buying refurbish. As far as experience with Alex, very knowledgeable and friendly. Our quote doubled due to us trying to "save". We met up with him, since he charges for mobile service. Only took less than an hour for cut and program. Saved for future needs. read more

Holy cow this guy is incredible. Efficient, knowledgeable, and easy to get in touch with. In addition he wore a mask through the entire exchange. There was a defect in my car key, so he ordered a new one (had it rushed over night) and delivered/programmed the new key within 24 hours. I highly recommend! read more

Alex was great! He helped me get into my BMW. He helped with my battery and gave me good advise! I'll use his service again!

His customer service was excellent and I meet him the day I called. Would highly recommend. Especially if you have a keyless entry car.

Update: To Date Alex has sent messages threatening me with lawsuits instead of doing what a good business man would do. If I was he I would read the review and realize I screwed up and offer to make things right. I would see that I dIdnt provide the service that I intended to offer and would make up for my screw up some how or at least go the extra mile to fix things knowing I did my best. I keep hoping to see that Alex has learned from his mistake so I can amend my review and bless him with a positive review. Hasn't happened yet. read more

My key fob for my 2016 Nissan Altima got severely damaged to the point where I could not even open my door. I did my due diligence and got many quotes from competitors and nothing came close to the Key Doctor. Not only was the price way lower than competitors he came about 20 minutes after I called (note: everyone else I called I Had to get my car towed to them so the convenience of him coming to me was GREATLY appreciated.) It took him 30 minutes to fix my key fob and it works perfectly. Alex is a hard worker who puts his customers first. Anything key related, there's no other place I'd rather go to than the #KeyDoctor. read more

Great service from key doctor. I had destroyed a key fob by accident by getting it wet. I was recommended by a friend to use this service. And I am happy I have used them. Very responsive, friendly, and helpful. Was up front on pricing and was on time for appointment. I would use this service again. Alex got me two additional fobs and reprogrammed my truck in about 45mins. I could not ask for better service. Thank you Key doctor for helping me out of a jam. read more

From my first call to Alex to receiving my newly programmed combo key -remote/alarm/key, he was prompt, attentive to the details, and at the right price. With most service providers, I normally find that he/she could have improved one element of their service or another. Not with Alex, he checked all the boxes - truly a total pro! I highly recommend him! Dave W. read more

Alex answered his phone promptly. Promised me he'll get to my place in an hour and made good on that promise. He also quoted the price over the phone and didn't try to do any funny business when he arrived and actually looked at what needed to be done. All and all good experience and very professional. read more

Alex was reliable and determined to help me when my key wasn't working. I will keep his contact in my phone and recommend him to friends.

Very responsive. Came out in the snow to unlock my car when my battery was dead and I couldn't use my key fob to unlock it. Alex created a spare key fob and the next day came back out and created a replacement key for me. read more

I lost my purse which had my car key and my wallet - on Thanksgiving. My dealership told me I need to have my car towed 40 miles away to get a new key reprogrammed and they couldn't guarantee that towing my car wasn't going to wreck the locking mechanism since it was currently locked and in Park. They wouldn't give me a quote on a key without towing the car and I didn't really have a ride to get to where they were going to tow my car to anyway. I found Key Doctor when I was trying to find a new key fob online. When I found out they could come to me, I would not do you need to have my car towed, and they could get me into my car I was dubious, but I got a call back from Alex right away, and he was able to schedule the appointment for the next day all the way out in North Bend! He even scheduled it around my lunch break so that I could continue teaching uninterrupted! The key fob worked, he got me into my car, and he was so kind and helpful. Thank you, Alex! I'm one grateful teacher!! read more

Alex was great, he was on time and got me 2 new keys for my car and programmed them. Highly recommend for your key and locksmith needs.
