Instant Auto Unlock was remarkable working with my hectic schedule. Garrett was very patient and was always friendly. Don’t hesitate, just call him for the fastest professional job on your auto. We will have him do my mom’s van as well. All businesses should be operated like Instant Auto Unlock. Thank you!

Aaron Campbell

Best price you’ll ever find, quick and professional work. I wouldn’t dare go to anyone else. I didn’t have a key to my car door and only had the ignition key, He was able to unlock my door and make me another key with ease. Very Pleased

Jareny Antonio

Washed my key fob a few times on accident and lost my other fob. Called Garrett and asked about getting two sets of keys. Had a great turnaround time and communication despite the snowstorm. He got them programmed in less than 45/30 mins. Best pricing around town!
