Reviews frequently mention helpful staff, reasonable pricing, and clear explanations about key programming and lock repair. Many customers note quick turnaround for car keys and appreciation when the shop advises against incompatible third-party remotes. Several comments highlight successful fixes that avoided full lock replacement. A few reviews mention scheduling windows, but overall feedback trends positive on communication and results.

I've been here a few different times over the past few years and they have always been able to complete the request accurately and at a great price. The last time they tried to program a third party purchased key that wouldn't program. They didn't charge me for wasting their time like the other shops said their shop would but told me to buy another and they'd try again. Great price, and service.

I inherited a Toyota Rav4 with a bad key situation. There was one key that opened the door and another key that could start the car - but only if inserted a certain way and after chanting an ancient Asian incantation.

I explained this to the technician and also asked if they could program a wireless remote key. He asked if I brought the truck with me and went to work. About 30 minutes later I had two working keys and also saved a ton from going to the dealer.

Awesome.guys that work there. Ive been having a bad week and a pretty bad day and they did something.for special for me. My key broke .. and I am beyond grateful thank you for your kindness thank you and God bless you guys sorry I didn't get there names. But the kid that help me today you are such an angel thank you again

We took two keys in to be programmed that we bought online (don’t waste your money on those) our keys work to unlock and start but because they were online the remote locks do not work. The owner was kind and worked with us to buy a key that actually works . Thank you so much for that. Very nice technicians that do the programming.

We'd been having problems with a couple of door locks, including one that a previous locksmith said couldn't be fixed without completely replacing the deadbolt. My husband called A-AbraCadabra Lock Service, and Scott was able to fix both locks during the visit. He was professional and courteous and clearly has a lot of experience and knowledge. We were very pleased with the service and are so happy everything has been taken care of. Thank you, Scott!
