Reviews frequently mention fast response, clear quotes that match the final bill, and successful help with car keys and fob programming. Several customers highlight patience and willingness to work within a budget. A smaller number note project hiccups on door hardware work, though follow-up was reported. Overall sentiment trends positive for responsiveness and transparency.

Phenomenal business. Was having key issues with my car and the issue was resolved within the hour. The technician was very responsive and went above and beyond to take care of me. Would highly recommend to anyone that needs locksmith services and will be coming back if need be in the future.

I lost my keys and unfortunately could not find them. I called him and explained my situation. I only had a certain amount of money on me. He was nice and helped me out for what I had. I would highly recommend him! He was quick too.

Mike was exceptional from start to finish. From the very first call, he gave a clear and honest quote with no beating around the bush. What he quoted is exactly what it cost. I truly appreciated and loved that transparency, especially knowing my uncle is a retired veteran living on a very limited income.

My uncle is 88 years old, and losing his only car key was incredibly stressful, especially with important health appointments scheduled for Monday. I live in Texas, so I was extremely anxious about him being stranded and unable to get help quickly. Mike accommodated him on a Saturday right after Christmas on the 27th and handled everything promptly, professionally, & with genuine care.

Mike was patient, respectful, & took the time to explain what he was doing. He made two full working keys, one primary and one spare, & made sure everything worked perfectly before leaving.

Knowing my uncle was taken care of, safe, & not left stranded meant everything to me. The clarity, professionalism, & compassion Mike showed went far beyond expectations. I am incredibly grateful & highly recommend Vandalia Locksmith!

Happy new year to you and your team, Mike, & sending blessings your way~ ?? ??

I had some issues with the unlock functionality on my key fob. I called Vandalia Key (at 7:00pm appx) and they were super helpful. I worked with B.K he was nice and provided speedy service. He programed me a new key fob a few weeks ago and it functions well, I have had no issues since.
Would go back(if needed), and would recommend.

WARNING: We had multiple issues with this company and the subcontractor they sent to our house, including but not limited to an incorrect door being drilled for a deadbolt. To his credit he did go out of his way to make the problem right and got the door replaced. Very classy move.

That being said this whole process was a huge headache for 2 weeks. Contractors are hired out to make issues go away not create more. Knowing what we know now we would have just bought the tools required and done it ourself.

P.S. The pricing for the work was outrageous. I understand this was not the call of the sub but jeez for the price we paid we should have experienced NO ISSUES.
