A couple of small notes for future customers: the final price was slightly higher than the original project quote once the full scope (two locks) was reconfirmed (but this was conveyed pre-arrival, so no surprises upon arrival), and arrival was about 40 minutes past the scheduled time (but I get it, LA traffic!). He also recommended cutting the locks since he couldn't make replacement keys, which means I will have to purchase some new bike locks again soon. Regardless, grateful for Jin to provide evening and weekend services! Also, I must say the price Jin charged was still more affordable than other locksmith businesses I contacted, so overall, this was a better value in the end! Plus, Jin was quick to respond via Yelp. Would recommend Jin for anyone needing quick, effective locksmith work, esp. for bike locks. Five stars for rescuing the bikes and communication!

They were professional, knowledgeable, punctual, and easy to work with from start to finish. Their pricing was very fair, and I felt confident I was getting honest advice throughout the process.

I've never had this happen before. Even with our other handyman, plumbers, etc. - if you can't do the work, you don't get paid for NOT doing the work.

I recently had an outstanding experience with Alon, the locksmith from this LA BEST LOCKSMITH and I must say that his service exceeded all expectations. I reached out to them via Yelp, desperately seeking help to make a copy of my multi T lock key after losing the card. Alon promptly responded and assured me that he could assist me with my predicament. Upon arriving at their storefront, I was greeted with a high level of professionalism and efficiency. Alon wasted no time and got straight to work. I was truly impressed by his punctuality and the speed at which he completed the task at hand. Within no time, I had a perfect copy of my key, saving me from the hassle and cost of replacing the entire lock. One aspect that truly stood out during my experience was the exceptional customer service provided by Alon. His dedication to delivering on his promise was evident throughout the entire process. It's refreshing to encounter someone who goes above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction. Based on this remarkable encounter, I have decided to entrust their company with the installation of additional locks at my residence. The level of skill and professionalism displayed by Alon has instilled a great deal of trust and confidence in their services. I cannot recommend this locksmith enough. If you're in need of any lock-related assistance, I strongly encourage you to reach out to them. They offer prompt, efficient, and top-notch service that will exceed your expectations. Hands down, one of the best customer service experiences I've had in a long time. Thank you, Alon, and the entire locksmith team, for providing an exceptional service that went beyond what I had hoped for. I look forward to working with you again in the near future! read more

I'm so glad I was passing through La Cienega and happened to be in such a rush to change my locks that I took a chance with LA Best Locksmith! As soon as I called them to come by, Alon came over half an hour later and got the job done very quickly, efficiently, giving me a better price than all 3 of the other companies which I had called since I had no idea what the going rate was. He even threw in a free copy of the key! Their prices were so much lower than what I was quoted by others that I was surprised that they honored their word and got the job done so quickly! I would most definitely recommend them to anyone who is a first timer and doesn't want to have to go through the hassle of getting quotes that will exceed in price and may not honor their word, especially when you're in such a big rush! Thank you La Best Locksmith! Your company name truly does your work justice! read more

I lost my car keys and needed new ones programmed and LA Best delivered a 5 star service. Ron who was dispatched to assist me arrived under one hour. He was professional and had a smile throughout the process-- which took longer for him because my car battery was dead, and he did not upcharge for the extra service. In fact he worked within my budget constraints and he kept to the price as quoted. He must of spent almost two hours the entire process, and he was really friendly despite the extra time and effort. I would highly recommend this company and I'm very grateful for the service - and the two new car keys! read more
