Julio flaked on me two days in a row.. He called me at 11am and said he would be free at 3pm. Calls me at 4pm saying he is going to drive to Bellflower to get an ignition key at a shop and would call me by 8pm. I waited at work where my car is parked til 9pm that night. He calls me the next day around 3pm saying he's free now, but my car is 1.5hrs away from home and had to uber there. He said he would check in at 5pm, but did not hear from him again.. I waited 8 hours the first day and 3 hrs the next day. Very disappointed and would not recommend. read more

Julio took my $150 deposit and around 8 months I have been getting the runaround that he will come and make me a key. He is out of town, he doesn't have the right program, he is coming tomorrow (doesn't show up), etc. after almost a year, I ask for my deposit back, and nothing. read more

Terrible service, brand new car now has broken plastics and screws that are not put back in and portion of my carpet peeled off and not going back under the clastic covers any more, after he was done engine light showed up, watch out! Above all way over priced, I found far cheaper key makers and even better service and friendlier. 350 bux for a key with this crappy work is way too much! read more

I've worked with locksmiths before and The Key Guy really impressed me. I had an old slot machine with a busted lock and everyone I called either wasn't interested or wanted $50-100 just to look at it. But when I called The Key Guy, the owner Julio picked up right away and was actually eager to help. He asked me to send him some pictures, then called me back right away to tell me it was a simple job. He was upfront and honest about everything and gave me a great deal! Not only that, but I found out Julio is incredibly knowledgeable. He's been in the business for years and even teaches his own locksmithing classes. I'm super glad I found this guy and definitely recommend him. I'm actually going back to get a new copy of my car key fob! read more

We scheduled 3 PM he showed up at 11 PM to duplicate a key for my jeep wrangler. He insisted to get paid via quick pay Zell or without me seeing the car. I was stupid enough to fall for it. Be aware this un responsible man Took my steering column a part and broke it. He did not even bother to put it together. After calling him he promised to show up next morning and fix it but he never showed up and never took his phone again. He ran with $180 away from me!!! Police report is filed but it'll probably take forever. Good news is I have everything on camera as well as a video from himself filming the mess he created. read more

Fast response, got me what I needed and on my way. I had paid him online and left a key lock box for him to duplicate a key and he got the work done, returned the key and is a trustworthy business. read more

Huge thanks to Julio from Lock Masters for going above and beyond and went the distance(literally) to get me a key made for my E46. A lot of people said it can be done, and it was a struggle but Julio would not give up until the job was completed. He drove 2 1/2 hours TO GET TO ME, so I couldn't complain about the price he changed which was still cheaper than going to BMW and most locksmiths. He was also friendly a very professional. Hopefully I'll never have to see him again, at least on a business level. Thank you so much Julio, I appreciate what you did. read more

Julio really saved us tonight. We locked ourselves out of our house by accident. If you have ever been in this position, you know how miserable it is. Julio responded quickly over the phone, answered all of our questions and arrived earlier than he estimated. And at midnight! He was able to get us in to our house in less than 5 minutes. I would highly highly recommend him. We are just so grateful for him tonight. Thank you, Julio! read more

My C300 key stopped working and that was the only key I had. Julio came and he worked and programed a brand new key for me. He was quite and fast. I came on my lunch time and finished quickly. Thanks Julio read more

Locked myself out of my home on a Sunday evening. In less than five minutes Julio had responded to my request and had someone out to me in minutes. James arrived promptly, and was friendly and professional. Even though one of my locks gave him some trouble, he went the extra mile to make sure I got into my home as quickly as possible. Pricing was very fair, and was the lowest quote I received (and the quickest)! I highly recommend Julio and James, and definitely will be using them if I find myself locked out again. read more

My boyfriend has a 2003 BMW and the key fob was not working when he bought the car. After having the car for a year he decided to get the key fob fixed. He contacted Julio to see if he could help. He was very responsive and professional. He showed up on time and was able to make a new key fob. The price he charged was well BELOW what the dealer would charge. I totally recommend his service. read more

Julio is an absolute find! Most of the locksmiths in the area are call centers that dispatch an available vendor they work with and then charge you a premium. The Key Maker, and specifically Julio, is not like that. You call them, and They answer. He doesn't waste time and values being up front with you, providing you additional value in exceptional service. We had a horrible experience coming home late at night. Cold, raining, and coyotes roaming outside, we were locked out. In a game of roulette down the yelp searches, we came across The Key Maker, and lucky for us, Julio answered and delivered! He's so nice and professional. Even at midnight, he was able to be at our door in 15 minutes and in another 5 minutes we were in the house. Most of the others will give you a 30 to 45 minute or more timeline with an outrageous fee even before providing you an equally outrageous price estimate, and then scare you about what to expect. Julio was relaxed and upfront. He asked for a picture of the lock and right away gave us a truthful response on whether he could help us or not along with a time of arrival and a quote. He stuck to it. Despite how late and cold it was, he didn't have a single ounce of attitude or irritation, which in this service industry can be very hard to come across. Based on experience with others and after having called around, we know! When looking for a reliable and skilled tradesman, Julio is your answer. Honestly, he will instantly become a contact you will be glad to save in your phone, and a friend you will be honored to introduce and recommend to others. Next time you have a key or lock issue, be it auto, residential, or commercial, do not hesitate to contact him. Glad to have met him! Thank you, again, Julio! read more
