I went in the shop and greeted“Hi”! The guy didn’t reply back, how rude! Asked him how much to duplicate a key I have and he said $11! I find it expensive so I left and went to A C Lock Service in Berkeley which they charged me $6!
Eddie at velocity key and lock is a real pro. He is friendly, efficient, and more affordable than other locksmiths in the area. Highly recommend.
They will price gouge you, go to one of the other nearby stores for better prices. No complaints on the services but the pricing is straight up abusive.If pricing is not an issue for you then it should be great!
Eddie is my go to locksmith for everything I need. His no nonsense approach always helps me find the best and most cost effective way to address my projects. Thank you, Eddie!
Eddie was responsive and able to come out on short notice. He assessed the lock's issue and resolved it quickly. He was very honest and took the time to explain how to address similar issues in the future on my own. I like when I can learn from a business owner! He also had the ability to make copies of keys from his truck, a great bonus!
