    Old key fob next to the new key fob
    Denise S.

    I decided last minute to fix my car keys! My keys weren't programmed and didn't work with unlock/locking my car. I was over it! I came to the car key shop around 2:30-3pm and was helped right away!! They gave me a flat fee of $250 to have a new key fob, car key, and to program it to my car! I would've paid easily $500+ at the dealership. They also programmed and put in a new battery in my old key fob! Their service was very quick, efficient, straight to the point and friendly! It only took 40 minutes and I was already on my way! Definitely will recommend this place to everyone! Thank you guys!

    I lost my car key fob and wanted a new car key re-programmed. There are a lot of key shops around, and I saw the Car Key Shop had a positive review, so I sent them a message on Yelp, and John replied to me within 30 minutes on a Sunday evening. He was accommodating in answering my questions and asked for a photo of the key fob I purchased online to verify if I had purchased the correct one. When I got to the shop, Aussie was quick to help me and answer my concerns. He also verified that the board works because he explained that sellers don't clear the board entirely when buying a fob online. I appreciate his honesty because he didn't try to upsell me anything. The reprogramming was an easy process. He had a machine where he cleared the codes in my existing system, which was reprogrammed to the blank key fob I had brought. The price was fair, and the blank key cutting was included in the agreed price. I recommend this business if you lost your auto key fob.

    Was able to call ahead to make sure they had the key I needed. Once arrived it was pretty straight forward. No issues with key.

    Great service and pretty decent prices too!…read more He was able to re-key the cylinders for the ignition of my '74 Plymouth Duster this way my new ignition cylinder worked with m door keys and I didn't have to fumble around trying to figure out which key was which. One time I had them re-key the locks to my mom's front door. They did a good job with the cylinder, but it seemed that I had some bad keys. When I had issues with some of the keys not working with the locks, I took them back. The kid in the booth was very professional into getting to the bottom of why some of my old keys worked with the re-keyed locks and some didn't. After him tearing the cylinders down and realizing the problem was with the old keys, he made me 5 new keys for free. He explained that the problem was that the keys I had were not made or copied correctly. He took the time to explain that when keys are copied, they need to be set correctly in the machine otherwise the plunge of the key would not hit the backstop on the key (when inserted into the cylinder) and the pins would not line up right allowing for the cylinder to unlock freely. That's awesome service!! Not only did he investigate the problem, but he also explained it too. I should have got the kid's name, but he was a younger guy. Probably in his late teens or early 20's. He knows his locks! Re-keying the Kwikset locks cost about 15 bucks each. I guess that's pretty reasonable.

    Confirming others' accounts of poor customer service & relational skills in their reviews. I had…read moretexted the business # (562-862-1888) two days ago with no response, so I was just following up in case perhaps it did not receive texts and was just a landline. I called this morning to get a quote for a car fob replacement (referred by amazing father-son team of mobile auto mechanic services but I don't feel this necessarily reflects anything badly on them in kind) and he first answers as "who's this?" but confirms it is Elvis Locksmith after I queried to make sure I had the right phone number. When I asked if he received the text messages, he just said no but didn't ask further how he could help or be of service and even started sounding suspicious somehow as he then goes and says maybe I have the wrong number? But I still press further and let him know I was a prospective customer who was interested in a quote for his fob replacement services and admittedly from a bit of my own irritation, then said it sounds like he doesn't need any new customers to which he then hung up on me without any further response or closing remarks. I'm assuming he's not doing well unfortunately as most of us aren't in this day and age but... guess he doesn't really need new clients and maybe his business is steadily doing well? So onto the next one down the list lol~
