Reviews

What customers say

Customers praise Gallazin's service; one BMW-key customer received a clear explanation when the shop could not supply or program the key. A car-fob customer received a new key with a replacement plastic case, while a lockbox customer says two replacement keys worked on the first try.

So thrilled to have been recommended this locksmith by a friend! My car fob for my Honda Fit came apart, the plastic casing broke and key end is only fastened with one tiny screw which makes it an easy break point. The computer chip inside the key still worked. I was quoted $338 from Honda dealership but went to talk to the professional folks at Gallazin and they made me a new key attached to a new black plastic case for $50! Outstanding service and quality and a happy solution and they are a family business of four generations so how wonderful is all that!! This is the best spot I have found for keys, locks etc. and now our new favourite solution for all things locksmith-like!!

I contacted Gallazin Locksmiths by phone regarding a BMW key issue. They were not able to supply the key or assist with programming, but they were very clear and upfront about this. They still took the time to recommend alternative companies that could help and explained how I could source the key for much less than the BMW dealership. I really appreciated the honest guidance and willingness to help, even over a quick phone call. Great customer service.

The Poet

It's funny that I've been living in Nanaimo for just about 8 years, yet I've never had the opportunity to make use of this lovely shop's services—until now. Long story short, Gallazin are a long-term fixture of Nanaimo with a full range of lock and key product and services. I came in because I'd broken a small key to a lockbox. Zach helped me find the correct blank. Then, he cut two replacement keys, which worked on the first go-around. I'm grateful for the fast, expert service and strongly recommend Gallazin to all homeowners and anyone seeking professional key duplication.
