I needed a locksmith because my only truck key was so worn it no longer reached the tumblers in my ignition lock cylinder. I called him today and arranged to have him come out and take a look tomorrow. To my surprise, he called and let me know he could come by today instead. That was awesome! He arrived, assesed the situation and got to work. He listened to what I had to say. I told him I thought maybe the key was just too worn and he agreed it could be that. I told him I had tried numerous times to have new keys made but nobody could get it right. He was able to cut a new key by "reading" the old cuts. After a couple of tries he was able to get it right! I told him I just needed to wait for my neighbor to get home so we could charge the battery. It was a new one but it was dead. He kindly pulled his van around and jump started my truck. That was so great! Unfortunately, it just wasnt enough. We messed with it for quite awhie which was above and beyond. He figured out what the problem was and fixed that too! He charged me way less than anyone would have and helped me get my truck off the road and into my driveway. What a kind man. He was personable, professional, explained everything he was doing and really hung in there with me. I will definitely keep his number and would reccommend him to anyone! read more

After going through all the listings for a mobile locksmith in my area (Escondido/North County San Diego) Bill's business stood out to me with the flawless 5 star rating he has earned. My experience with him has proven why he is so well liked by his clients. I ordered a couple new key fobs for my new Camaro that needed to be cut and programmed. I called him yesterday and he said he was fully booked but could fit me in the next day. The next day he let me know when he was an hour out. He texted me when he was here, I walked down and gave him the keys. Within about 10 minutes he had them cut and programmed. He polished the keys, and tested all the buttons in front of me. He even began teaching me things about my new car I didn't even know! When he handed over my keys he told me the price which I honestly couldn't believe how low it was. I saved hundreds by not going to a chevy dealer for this service. The keys were $25 on Amazon, and the service with him was around the same per key. Bill is a real standup guy, totally honest, sincere, quick, and respectful. When I offered him a tip he refused. I wanted to reward him for this awesome experience, but he would not take it. I damn near tried to force it into his hands and he kept pushing it back! If that's not a sign of pure honesty I don't know what is. I asked for a bunch of business cards so I could spread the word about him to those that will need his services. Thanks again Bill! read more

My little one has always had an affinity with my keys... And let's just say his love to get to the inside of electronics got the best of him! I got ahold of Rescue Lock & Key's awesome people-saving Bill (thank goodness he works Saturdays and is mobile) who was able to meet with me last minute and fix the keys, goving me a new shell and buttons and putting it together (I had rescued the motherboard of my keys before toddler-zilla decided to investigate it). Bill even give a set of keys for my little one to play with! (So hopefully he will leave my keys alone! :) ) If I could give one zillion stars I would, but alas, yelp wont let me so I'm stuck with giving only 5. I would HIGHLY recommend Bill from Rescue Lock and Key! read more

Bill left my house just about 5 minutes ago. He got here on time, explained the process of removing the piece of the key that broke off in my boyfriends motorcycle ignition. His pricing is more than reasonable compared to others, and he is super friendly! The piece of key that was in the ignition was about half-an-inch long, and was stuck all the way down. Bill was able to remove it in just about an hour, and made a spare key for us at no additional cost! I would definitely recommend him, and will be using him again if I ever need this kind of service. Thank you Bill! read more

Well Bill has helped me out once again, he always gets the keys or can easily make you a new key! In the past, Bill has gotten my keys out of a Ford Escape and got me into my locked hom but this time, we put a challenge in place.

I sent a picture to Bill to see what he could do for me and within minutes, I had a solution. Bill came by our house, checked the 8 doors, made us a key very quickly that fits them all and he even made us a second front door car key too!

I needed to replace my Lexus key so my first call was to the dealership. Since I had a week until my service appointment, I decided to call around and I'm so glad I did. Bill was a pleasure to meet and work with. They key cost about half as much as the dealership would have charged, and I would so much rather support him. He has been doing this for years and is a hard worker, working 7 days a week, often 20 hours a day. My only constructive feedback, is he should raise his prices. He works well scheduling via text. read more

Congrats on reading your last review before scheduling your service. Seriously, just do it. You won't be sorry. I really didn't think I could be impressed by a locksmith, but sure enough! He's a total pro and honest both about his time estimates and on price. I used to just go with whoever was available, but I'm willing to wait for Bill. Super fair on price, digs what he does and cuts keys for MOTORCYCLES too! It's clear he's not trying to milk every penny out of you. No ugly surprises. Quite the contrary, really. And takes credit. Oh, and when calling around to many of the highest-rated locksmiths in SD, since many locksmiths don't do moto keys, he came highly recommended as someone they can trust and know will do a quality job. They were not mistaken! read more

On time, fairly priced and super friendly. Bill showed up in a vehicle that had everything he needed to take care of my issue (replacing a lost car key with a chip). I would highly recommend and definitely use again should the need arise. read more

Rescue Lock & Key - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me

I was referred to Bill, who was very friendly and professional to make the job done perfectly and quickly. A day three weeks ago I lost my last spare key when walking in a park at night (this experience was very scary...). In the next day, Bill used the lock of my car to quickly make two keys. He patiently explained how he made the keys from nothing but the lock. Also he identified the country where my car was manufactured and assembled (my car was very old.) so that he could program the transponder with the right programming. I enjoyed the conversation with him like an old friend, and learned much from him. All his service was done in 30 minutes. Outstanding service and very happy to recommend him! read more

My son lost his car key and he called several places and Bill was the lowest quote but couldn't come by until 6pm. Now I know why he was so busy. My son has a 96 Integra and he told Bill he needed 2 keys 1 for ignition and 1 for the doors. He quoted $110. He told me that he could fix it to where I would only need 1 key for the ignition and locks. He went the extra mile fixing the ignition lock and even replacing the housing that holds the lock. The bolts were stripped from the previous owner of the car and he replaced it. He also gave me an extra key for me just in case my son loses both the spares he made. Bill is a very nice guy and really works fast and hard to go the extra mile to make sure everything is done right. I highly recommend him! If I could give Bill 6 stars I would! read more

Bill was great. I purchased a used vehicle that only came with a key that was cut incorrectly (worked on the ignition but did not unlock the door), and no remote key. Bill came out to my house first thing following morning (a Saturday) after I called him, and had me all set up with a correct key, as well as a new remote key in no time. He also was informative about the process and how the various new chip keys and keyless remotes work on the newer vehicles. He was extremely reasonable, and you can tell from talking with him that he cares about his customers and is very fair. We made sure to ask for several business cards because we were so impressed by him, we wanted to make sure we could refer him to others. read more
