I purchased 2015 Audi Q5 Premium Plus from Coparts with an OEM remote starter, and the car came with just a single key. I called several locksmiths around the Twin Cities, none of them wanted to work on the vehicle because of the complexity of Audi's RFID anti-theft system. The dealership quoted me over $1,000 and said the process would take three days. I came across Stellar Keys. Mohamed returned my call within just a few minutes and listened carefully as I explained my situation. Without hesitation, he told me the company provedes this service and he has the Know-How to do the job as long as I had a working master key and he could order the correct key fob matched to my vehicle's VIN and RFID frequency. I was initially skeptical because his price was significantly lower than the dealership's. I had done extensive research and understood the complexity involved in adding and programming an additional key for an Audi Q5, especially one that needed to work with the factory remote starter. I decided to give him a chance, and Mohamed proved that both he and his company are among the best in the Twin Cities. During the process, he encountered a minor issue with the BCM because there was an additional key assigned to the vehicle that was apparently hidden somewhere in the car. As a result, my vehicle had to stay overnight at his shop. Throughout the entire process, communication was punctual, accurate, and transparent. Even when the unexpected issue arose, Mohamed made me feel confident in both the service and the quality of his workmanship. He went above and beyond by even offering me a rental car for the day. In the end, I'm very glad I trusted Stellar Keys and Mohamed. All of the keys work flawlessly and consistently. I would definitely recommend Haji's Locksmith to anyone needing key programming or locksmith services for high-end European vehicles. read more

The ECU on my Highlander was wiped out and my keys would no longer work. I had a different company trying to get it reprogrammed, but they couldn't figure it out. I called Stellar Keys & Remotes and within 1.5 hours, they were at my house and it took about 5 minutes to fix the ECU and reprogram my keys. The technician was very friendly and knowledgeable, and the price was very reasonably priced too. If you have a similar problem with your car, definitely give Stelar a call. read more

This place is fantastic! Efficient, professional, good value, super nice. I would highly recommend them to anyone!

We inadvertently locked the keys in our car in a downtown parking ramp. Called Stellar + one other place on Yelp to compare timeframe and rates. This guy (Stellar) showed up when he said he was going to, was courteous and professional, and got our keys out for roughly 60% less than the other place. Very pleased. read more

5 star experience. Car was stolen then recovered by police. I called around for a locksmith to make a key since the car was recovered without it, and another business referred me to Stellar Towing. The representative over the phone was extremely helpful and polite. They made an appointment for me at their next opening. It took ~15 mins to generate a key for my car make/model. Absolutley professional. This is family owned and feels like it from their customer service. They treat you like one. I'll be referring everyone I know to them. Thank you for how you all run your business. read more

Showed up within 10 minutes of my call. Cut and programmed a new key for my Ford Focus within 20 (even gave me a jump when it wouldn't start). When I asked about a quote to replace a '17 VW key, it was too new for their capabilities, but they were nice enough to give me a referral for another company that could help. Quick, professional, and inexpensive. This company deserves your business! read more

Definitely saved the day. Lost the key and fob late on a Friday afternoon and within 90 minutes of my call Haji had stopped by the dealer for a new blank, arrived on site where I was stuck, programmed the new set and had me on my way. Super friendly and human dude besides. It's great to have a new service to recommend especially for a (hopefully) rare need like this. read more

I tried to call the phone number after emailing back and forth with the owner. The number for the North location 763-576-0000 said the number was no longer good and gave me some random number 612-418-2803. I the called the South number 612-338-9999 aand explain to the gentleman what I was trying to do and that I have been in contact with the email on the website. The tech got very rude and said he had no idea what the "owner" said in an email and was rude. Instead of indulging his rudeness I just said "I'll try someone else". Just very very poor customer service and I would not recommend them to anyone! read more

Corry and his son came out to my house in sub-arctic temperatures cut a key, program the key and had my vehicle running in under an hour. Their honesty and respect for the client was very much appreciated plus they saved me over 300 bucks these dealerships are robbing people charging over $500 to replace a key fob, This is why I give them 5 stars and recommend them to anybody in Minnesota as the number one key fob and remote installers. read more

They helped me out. I lost my keys at work and they came and saved the day. The price was fair, they worked fast, and they were really nice. I highly recommend them. read more

My only key that I got when I bought my Jeep went bad; it lost it's program. The key was acting up and I bought 2 new ones before my factory key quit working, but hadn't had a chance to go to the dealership to get them cut and programmed before my original key went totally bad. The first place I called were total jerks and wouldn't even touch the blank keys I bought saying they couldn't make enough money. Stellar was not only happy to cut and program the keys I bought, they were at my house in a matter of a couple of hours. They not only got my new keys cut and programmed, they also got my old key working as well. The guy that came out, Alex, was courteous and was great to work with. I would highly recommend Stellar Keys and Remotes and wouldn't hesitate to call them again if I ever needed more locksmith work done. A+! read more

Incredibly unreliable and unprofessional company. The most frustrating experience I have had with a company in a long long time. Promises made and broken too many times to count. We'll call you right back in 5 minutes actually means we won't call you back...ever. We have the fobs you need and I'll be there tomorrow at 3pm actually means we don't know if we really have the fobs but will check tomorrow (saturday) when it's too late to do anything about it when we discover we don't have the fobs and then won't call you to tell you we don't have them, but will make you call 20+ times to try to reach us. I've written your number and everything we've discussed down and will call you before 11am tomorrow to confirm what time I will be there to do your fobs actually means I will forget to call, lose the notes I wrote down, and never call or come to replace your fobs and then let you call our multiple phone numbers dozens of times to see if you can track us down so we can tell you we can no longer do your job. I wish I could say I'm exaggerating or dramatizing a little with this. I'm not. And amazingly, all of the above occurred across 3 different people trying to get my fobs replaced on two separate occasions. Simply the worst customer service and reliability I have ever experienced with any company providing any service ever. Do not walk, run from this company. Sorry Stellar but you guys earned this one. read more

I would give it a 0 for customer "service". So I call them to have a spare key made on my VW. They did not have a key, but I had a blank key. Still they wanted $150 cash or 165 on CC(probably 150 tax free). It was kind a steep, so I call VW dealership to ask for how much they would cut my key and program it, $75. I call Cory back to let him know and offer him $100, and in a nice ass holly way he was like NO WE ARE NOT DOING IT FOR A HUNDRED BUCKS, NOT TODAY, TOMORROW OR EVER. And to think that I gave his info to bunch of my friends that had lockouts and needed keys, man what an A-H. Good job CEO Cory, Bravo!!!! read more

Bought a key and clicker combination from these folks which cost around $200. Lasted about three months then the key broke off from the clicker while starting the car. This was a backup clicker so had been used a total of probably 20 times. When we called the man asked us to email pictures of the broken key and an explanation. My wife was told they normally don't warranty anything that has been used that long. My wife explained again that we only had it for three months. They told us it would be $60 to fix or replace if they had to come to us or $40 if we came to them. $200 for a key, and then more cost to replace after 3 or 4 months, come on? I don't like businesses who don't stand behind the products they sell and I won't go back. read more

Great customer service and great prices. Never disappointed. I really trust them and I recommend them all the time to my friends and family. You never know when you'll need a locksmith! read more

Cut a new key and sold a used key fob for a 14 year old car $200 total ($60 for the fob, $140 for the key. Key fob stopped working in about 2 weeks and when I called back I was told by son and owner if originals showed up they would come back and reprogram them for free (Which they did). I thought that was a great business practice. However, this was not the case. They wanted to charge me to program the other keys which I said NO to. I had to call back a second time because they didn't show up at time time originally agreed upon. read more

We called a lot of places to help get keys out of one of my trucks, and all I got were people that wanted to rip me off! Stellar Keys was recommended by Ace Lock and did a FANTASTIC job - they were worth their fee, and it was less than most others! They knew exactly what they were doing, and it was good to find an honest and trustworthy company in their industry! Well done!! read more

Have used them for years for many cars I bought and sold. Called them the other day for a remote for a Chevy, left a voicemail, no one called back. Called them again a few days later. The guy said he'd check to see if they had a remote and call me right back. Never got a call. Called them again, the guy said he was waiting to hear from the warehouse and would call me right back. Again, no one called. Called them the next day, left a message, no one has called back yet. Guess my money isn't green enough. Try another company that actually wants your business. read more
