Great experience! The dealer wanted $600 for a keyfob for a 2021 Highlander and it was $300 at Mr. Key's. Friendly service and out in less than 30 minutes. I'll never go to a dealer again for a replacement key.

Randy Stott on Mr. Key's Locksmith

I was there maybe 10 min. Was really impressed with how fast I got a new key fob. It cost me $170 plus tax. So it’s kind of expensive but the owner said it cost more to take it to a dealership

Julia Peace on Mr. Key's Locksmith

we had a damage fob key that would not work on our Dodge caravan. We were recommended to Mr Keys LOCKSMITH on 586 Lyell Avenue. explained what we needed and the gentleman that service our request was simply amazing. We were in and out in less than 10 minutes with a key fob replacement for under $50. their prices are incredibly more than reasonable, and the customer service is spectacular. They are competent. They are knowledgeable and they get great service.. We originally were told by another company that it would take a week to get it done And approximately $200. We definitely got a blessing and a bargain at Mr Keys.

Wonderful experience! I needed to replace the key fob for my car. The dealership wanted more than $300. My mechanic told me about "Mr. Key's" they saved me 65% off the dealer price. I highly recommend Mr. Key's .
