Cut and coded duplicate transponder key in less than 15 minutes. Very reasonable prices, less than half dealer quote.
Mark Hiew
Ricky is honest, does good work, and friendly. He cut a couple of new keys for my car quickly and professionally. I cannot recommend them highly enough. I will be going back to A1 in the future for my locksmith needs.

Professional, knowledgeable, courteous: I needed a second keyless entry key fob for my push-start car, they had the exact Ford fob, calibrated it in 15 minutes and I was out the door for 50% less than dealer cost. Highly recommended.
