Reviews

What customers say

Customers praise friendly service and patient, knowledgeable technicians. One customer credits Luke with explaining that a car fob needed a battery rather than a new fob and sharing tips for when it runs low. A customer says an Amazon fob programmed elsewhere still unlocked intermittently and describes the owner's response to questions as rude; another says home-rekey pricing was unclear because the technician counted locks separately and the final cost was a bit higher.

Mary Diamond

Someone stole my keys from the locker room at my gym. I called all over town and got prices all over the place. Oliphant was the 2nd lowest-priced and the friendliest by far. Joshua came out the same day, had my key made and programmed and saved my whole weekend!

They rekeyed our home after a move and were great. The pricing wasn't as straightforward as the person on the phone just asked about doors while the tech that came out counted the locks on the door as separate. It ended up costing a bit more but not too bad.

I give this company 5 stars for customer service! The fob for my car stopped working which meant my car wouldn’t start and I’m from out of town visiting so I began to freak out a little. LUKE the young man who was my technician assured me that I didn’t need a new fob just a battery and showed me a few useful tricks in case my battery gets low. I appreciate a company that puts customer service ahead of just making extra dollars especially when you’re away from home! Thank you to Oliphant and a very special thank you to Luke!! I appreciate you. The shop is not only a friendly family owned business it’s also cute as a button!

I called and talked to Chad. He listened to exactly what I needed and was very patient and explained how he could help. He sent Joshua out and within 2 hours my locks were changed and/or rekeyed per my request. Great service, patient and knowledgeable techs. I would highly recommend Oliphant!!
