After programming,…read morethe technician said that he is not able to cut the entry key that is part of the FOB and then gave me an excuse that he provides the FOB, not the key. The entry key is part of the FOB and an important part of a working FOB. He told me that I now need to go to a dealer to have the keys cut which means extra time and money. I will never use this service again and would recommend others find a place that actually completes the work correctly.

Let me start by saying, finding a reputable locksmith is way harder than I expected. Nobody I knew…read morehad a solid recommendation... not even my Facebook moms group, and they usually know everything. That should've been my first clue that this wasn't going to be easy. Most of what I found online felt more like random handymen, and several only took cash, which made things feel a little off. I ended up being referred to Paul by another locksmith who didn't cover my area, and I'm so glad I followed through. Paul was quick to respond, had reasonable rates (especially for same-day service), showed up exactly when he said he would, and knocked the job out fast and efficiently. No drama, no sketchiness, just honest, professional work. Highly recommend Paul if you want someone dependable, fair, and above board. I'll definitely be keeping his info for the future!

The tech, Artie, was nice and completed the job in about thirty minutes. That said, the amount I was charged seemed really high, and was far above what I was originally quoted. I paid but made it clear I was not happy. Violet, a manager, contacted me about my complaint and refunded some of the charges, for a final amount that was much more in line, IMO, with the amount of work that was done. For that, I commend them.

Everything you would like from a locksmith. We needed some locks re-keyed. The woman who answered…read morethe phone was professional. The prices I were quoted were flat fees rather than hourly, and they were competitive versus the competition. Even better, this leads to no surprises at billing time. Josh arrived within my preferred one hour time frame. He was professional, friendly, (and since I was curious) informative. He did everything right--even after bumping into a small puzzle of a problem--with patience and grace. You might say, "Your points are granted. But nevertheless, why 5 stars rather than 4?" You got me there. Really, what else could they have done for the extra star? "They could have offered you a beer." Yes indeed they could have. Therefore I offer this qualification of my five star review: Don't contact them if you were expecting a free beer.
