Customers frequently mention fast key duplication and clear, reasonable pricing. Several reviews highlight helpful troubleshooting on hard-to-find or discontinued lock cylinders, including camper tops. Automotive key and fob services are commonly praised for next-day turnaround, though a few notes mention specific feature programming issues. Overall sentiment points to knowledgeable staff and reliable in-shop service.

Knowledgeable and the pricing is reasonable. I have been several times while swapping key format on my current project. I highly recommend be it for the homeowner, contractor, or locksmith. They stock mortise, rim, and household locks.

$150 for a 2014 car key. The locks work and unlock but the trunk button doesn't open.

We have a 2018 F150 with an ARE CAMPER TOP. We didn’t have a key to lock up the camper. Two ARE Dealers quoted us almost $800 to replace both handles and lock assembly since they are discontinued. We called several locksmith’s and were told they couldn’t make us a replacement key. We called Guthrie’s in McAllen. We spoke with Jesse and he asked us to bring in our unit and he would try his best to help us out. We removed the lock cylinder and he asked us to allow him to give it a try…. 3 hour later, we had a new set of keys! Exactly customer service! It’s like he took it as a challenge since everyone else turned us away! Thank you Jesse for the excellent customer service! ????

Guthries is the best place for keys! My keys were made in less than 2 minutes. Had previously gone to Lowes, Home Depot and Walmart with no success.

They fixed and got me a new key fob and key! I called them one day they had it ready the next! Very reasonable price and great customer service. Don’t go to anyone on social media for your key or the expensive dealerships. Come here, 10 out 10 recommend! Love them!!
