He answered all my questions, understood my situation, gave me a very fair and complete estimate that beat all the others, and was polite and appreciative of my phone call. My looking is over. read more

If you ever need a spare key made for your car, I highly recommend Mike at V&M Locksmith. I used him a few years ago and found him to be slightly less expensive than other automotive locksmiths and significantly less expensive than dealerships. I also found him to be really trustworthy. I needed a key made for a different car today so I requested quotes from 10 different locksmiths on Yelp, including Mike. Mike was not only the least expensive but he was able to come the fastest so I used him again. In fact, I was so happy with Mike's service that I recommended him in all my local Facebook groups. If you need a key made for your car, definitely use Mike at V&M Locksmith. read more

Mike is AWESOME! I called Audi dealerships who are insanely expensive/rip offs and you have to drop the car off for 2 days. Mike came to my place with 2 Audi smart keys and programmed them for a fraction of the price and at home service. This guy is a absolute gem of a find. highly recommended! read more

V & M Automotive Locksmith - Audi smart keys - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me

Listen, I'm going to be straight honest with my beloved Yelpers: I'm poor. I mean, probably in the "1st world-country problems" sort of way, but still. This extends to the fact that I have never owned a new vehicle. I could probably manage (I have an AMAZING credit score) but I don't see the point in a car payment and high insurance. This all means that I drive a teenaged car: a 2005 Chevy Malibu. She's old but she's a still a beauty and hanging in there. However, this old age means that I don't have the bells and whistles of modern cars. Hell, it is still on the CD player-days and the CD player doesn't even work! One of the few features on my Malibu that makes me feel "in with the times" is the keyless-entry key FOB. When I unlock and lock the car from a distance is when I am ballin'! You can imagine my frustration and disappointment when my FOB starting to malfunction. I tried changing the battery: nothing. I purchased a new FOB online and tried to manually program it according to the internet directions. No-go.  Eff it, I thought. I'm calling a professional. I need SOMETHING to bring me a smile! That is how I discovered V & M Automotive Locksmith. I found V & M through our trusty pal, Yelp, and went against my usual method of calling-around to find the best price on a service. V & M is dripping in 5-star reviews and I've had so much hardship lately that I simply needed kind and effective service. V & M is headquartered in Burbank and provides key cutting, locksmithing, and automotive key (and FOB) services and comes to YOU! No need to drive to a store front because Mike, the head honcho, brings his business to your front steps - or rather, your garage. I called V & M at 8am sharp when they opened and Mike answered simply saying, "Hello?" and I heard the sounds of a family breakfast in the background. Despite this breakfast interruption; he was polite, not annoyed with me and put me first answering all my questions and confirming that he can either fix or program key FOBS. His energy was inviting and warm which made me want to give him my business even more. That family-like customer service goes a long way and Mike certainly displayed that in his behavior giving extra credit points to V & M. He assured that he could come the very same day and we set an appointed time. Mike arrived in his white (unmarked) work van and was all smiles even though it was cold and pouring winter Southern California rain.   That pleasant phone attitude Mike had earlier? He carries that into his in-person interactions. I could feel Mike's genuine concern even regarding a small issue like a car's keyless entry. In fact, he even did his diligent homework ahead of time and arrived with information regarding the defective issues. He then worked his magic and programmed my new key FOB in lightning-fast speed. The remote start even worked which has NEVER previously worked on my car! Now, I'm REALLY pimping! Even despite the rain and his job being complete; Mike stayed and chatted for a few minutes because I had a life-changing negative event occur the day before and he probably could feel that I needed someone to talk to. He is not only a businessman but a father, a friend, a mentor, etc. What are V &M's prices, you ask? My key FOB programming set me back $75 (I also gave a tip for coming to me AND in the rain). I'm unsure if this is the going-rate or higher being that I (unusually) didn't call around to price check; but honestly, Mike's fast repair and his lovely personality was worth all $75 buckaroos. I may not be rocking a new vehicle or a Tesla; but my keyless entry works thanks to V & M Automotive Locksmith! I will definitely call Mike again for any of my key needs and highly recommend him for anyone seeking similar services. read more

Mike, a courteous locksmith, truly came to the rescue and offered a reasonable price for his services. Highly recommend

I went to start my car today and the key wouldn't turn. These things are usually related to the steering column being locked, but after messing with that a bit, it was clear that something in the ignition block was broken. I called Geico roadside assistance and the guy that came out said he used to be a AAA locksmith and that it was definitely something inside, but he doesn't fix that anymore and Geico doesn't offer it as roadside assistance. I called around and got a quote for 40% more than Michael at V & M. Michael said that this was a common problem with my model of car (VW Jetta) and he had to go get a new housing for it. He came by within a few hours, did a quick, friendly and professional job and even though it was still very expensive, it was reasonably priced for these kinds of problems and compared to the competition. I would recommend Michael to others and use him again for my locksmith needs. read more

SERIOUSLY LOOK NO FURTHER THAN THIS GUY! I don't ever leave yelp reviews but this guy deserves all the accolades.

Mikes info will forever be stored in my phone god forbid I need his help again, and for any other family and friend who might need his help. read more

Mel is amazing! I lost my car key FOB and he was able to provide and program new one for me and cut a new emergency key on the spot. And he does this at your location. Save yourselves hundreds of dollars & the hustle of towing your car to the dealership and call Mel. I can't say enough good things about the man. read more

TL, DR: if you need anything car-key-lock related, call Mike. Full length version: I bought a new-to-me Prius which only came w/ 1 remote and an un-cut key blade. I stopped at the parts dept. at my local dealership to look into purchasing a fob and having it cut and programmed. Just the fob alone - $360. And they would have to special order it. I would then have to go to the service department and have them cut ($100) and program ($ didn't get that far). So I picked my jaw up off the ground, GTFO there, came home, hit up Yelp, and found Mike. He came to my house within 30 min. of me calling and ended up hooking us up w/ working keys and remotes for another car as well. Cost of 4 fully working fobs (cutting 3 blades, programming 3, providing 2 new - I think, 'cause I kinda lost count) was LESS than the cost of 1 from the dealership. To boot, he's a super nice guy. Gave me some good advice about the care and feeding of my new Prius. He's coming back to rebuild the door lock on our other car as well! read more

I lost my Honda Civic key fob on a day at Universal Studios.. couldn't even get my car towed home since the electronic emergency brake was on so I had no choice but to leave my car there until I figured it out. I called several Honda dealerships and NO ONE could offer any help even after explaining my situation and expected me to still find a way to magically bring my car to them. I ended up getting referenced to Mike and he came to the rescue! He was very quick to schedule the job the next day and was able to accommodate the location of my vehicle which was in a parking garage. He was on time, professional, very friendly and quickly solved my situation on site. Honda was charging me more than twice the amount than what I was quoted with Mike. Overall he is someone I would highly recommend to anyone that's in need of a locksmith. Thank you Mike!!! read more

Outstanding and upstanding citizens, above and beyond service ! I rang these guys with a steering column ignition key request.

I couldn't imagine a better service! Thank you, Mike. First of all, timing! Mike promised to come in a very short time and eventually he came even earlier than that. Secondly, pricing! Mike charged me 8 times less than the dealership wanted to charge me. (Mean while, it took him 20-30 min to fix the problem vs. leaving the car overnight in the dealership.) And finally, he is a nice personality to deal with:) STRONGLY RECOMMENDED! read more

Could not be more pleased by how easy Mike made this. read more

Lost my only car key fob in a Lyft ride and the driver couldn't find it. I called the dealership and the price was $600 for one key that had to be special ordered which would take 3 business days, and I would have to tow my car to them. I searched Google for automotive locksmiths, reading the negative reviews first and called several locksmiths who had the least negative reviews but the phone numbers were all dispatch locations and had to wait for call backs. The locksmiths who called me back wanted all my information but couldn't give me a firm price for a replacement key fob. I searched Yelp and found V&M with a 5 star rating. The owner, Mike, answered and was able to give me the exact price for a replacement keyfob and was willing to drive all the way from the Valley to LA to do the work. Mike was super friendly, rekeying and programming the keyfob in less than 30mins. His price was so reasonable that I purchased 2 keyfobs for less than the price the dealership was going to charge me for one. read more
