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!

Antonio answered my call right away, hustled over, and got the lock open quickly without damaging anything or making any loud noises. Very impressive. I hope I never again need a locksmith in the middle of the night, but it's comforting to know that if I do, I know who to call.

Misleading Pricing, Inflated Quotes, and Property Damage: Avoid This Locksmith at any cost…read more We chose this company because they were listed as Yelp Guaranteed, and we trusted that this designation meant the business had been vetted and was reliable. Unfortunately, our experience was the complete opposite. Antonio initially provided a price range of $55-$120. Before booking, I spoke with Antonio directly and confirmed multiple times that $120 was the absolute maximum we would pay. I also asked what would determine whether the service was $55 versus $120. Antonio explained that using a tool to unlock the door from underneath would be on the lower end, while picking the lock would cost more. After the service, Antonio denied ever providing this information. We were told a technician would arrive within 20 minutes. Instead, we waited outside for over an hour while repeatedly being told the technician was "5 minutes away" despite continued delays for over an hour. When technician David arrived, he claimed our lock was a "commercial lock" and immediately quoted us $480, despite the maximum price we had confirmed with Antonio. When we asked why it was so much higher, he refused to explain. When we said we would call another locksmith, the price suddenly dropped multiple times: from $480 to $350, then $300, and finally $200. The fact that the price changed so dramatically simply by pushing back raised serious concerns about the legitimacy of the original quote. David ultimately unlocked the door using a simple long-reach tool under the door, not any complex lock-picking process and not anything to do with the "commercial lock" he was claiming, and left black marks and damage on the wall next to the door. When I contacted Antonio afterward about the issue, he initially claimed we had contacted the wrong company and asked us to call him. However, once on the phone, he immediately knew who we were and began discussing our complaint, contradicting his earlier statement. We are currently working with Yelp Guarantee to request a refund and reimbursement for the property damage caused during this service. Do not hire this company especially based on their lower end quote - there are many other companies that provided flat fees. If you've hired this company for whatever reason: 1. **Do not be afraid to say you will call someone else.** The price dropped significantly the second we pushed back. 2. **Get all pricing details in writing.** We confirmed the maximum price and pricing factors beforehand, but those statements were later denied. 3. **Pay by credit card if possible.** This gives you options if the service does not match what was represented.

He arrived quickly, was incredibly friendly and professional, got me back into my apartment in just a few minutes without damaging my new doorknob, and even had me test my key afterward to make sure everything was working perfectly. There was also a pricing mix-up because I thought he was with another company. Instead of dismissing it, Nick spoke with his boss on my behalf and was able to honor the lower price.

If you ever need a locksmith, I highly recommend asking for Nick. He was kind, professional, efficient, and genuinely caring. Thank you again!

Yelp has this same address for "ABC Locksmith". The signage above the door however says "ABC Locksmith and Shoe Repair". Anyhow, I have been here twice already. Once to get copies of some keys and the second time, to get my high heels repaired. I actually waited a while before bringing my shoes in because they are pricey Salvatore Ferragamo pumps. But having seen him work on other people's shoes and seeing all the equipment he had indicated to me that he was an experienced cobbler. And I am glad I came to him. I had heel tips that needed replacing. Ferragamo actually included extra ones when I bought my shoes so I brought them with me. The price? $7. I'll be back.

excellent experience with LA Wifi Guys!…read more I had a crappy security camera set up, and a failing doorbell cam and needed them replaced. Out of frustration, I was determined not to cheap out and dug into the options. Ubiquiti had a solid reputation for quality and reliability, so I went about finding someone who handled their products. Yelp was a great resource and I narrowed down my choices to LA Wifi Guys, as their information gave me the most confidence. Made an appointment and David came out. Really liked his approach. Honest and transparent and not hustling me for upsells. He described my options clearly and it was easy to decide what I wanted. Not cheap, but very fair considering the higher quality solution and more experienced installation. It actually cost notably less than my original set up, which was done 6 years ago and had less features and most of all turned out crappy. David gave me an estimate for parts delivery, which turned out to be exact, and we made the install appointment for the day after. He came in and was very polite, careful and steadfast. He also was great at explaining how to operate my new system. But most of all, weeks after the install, I am sooo happy with it! Really great setup with excellent user interface and excellent camera resolution. I've already shared videos and stills with the neighborhood (as we are having coyote issues), and it was so quick and easy to do. A+++ experience all around! Thank you so much, David!

Both TVs were mounted quickly and look very nice. I feel confident that they are secure and the wires being hidden with cover is a nice touch.

He also struck a very nice balance between providing expertise while also inviting our own opinions when deciding where to place the TVs on the wall. I will definitely be reaching out to Aaron again for future entertainment setup needs. So glad we chose to go with this service!

Instead, they took the time to walk me through the system and provided several options based on my needs and budget. 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.

The quote was then way more than what we were expecting so we didn't move forward with the work. We were then told they had a $75 cancellation fee - something we were never told over the phone. 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. We were told that this would cover gas expenses - why take a job that is out of your network? They knew our address well before coming out. Also, some of our intake conversations were over text, so I wish we discussed the job over photos so they knew what we wanted to do in terms of the job and give us a proper quote. Just felt very scammy and weird after them asking for money without starting the job.
