Customer Reviews
Laura Beatty
We had a new housekeeper come to our place and she was so upset that she locked her keys in. We told her no problem, we had it covered and found El Cheapo and their great reviews. They 100% lived up to the reputation. They were here so fast to unlock the car and help her retrieve her keys. They were professional, easy to communicate with, super fast, and the pricing was extremely reasonable. It left her with a big sigh of relief and we are back on-track with our agenda for the day with barely a hiccup. Thank you so much, El Cheapo!

El Cheapo did a great job for a great price. Came out right away and took care of everything. Thank you!!!
Mark Willson
Robert was great. They came within a few hours of calling and were able to unlock and program a new fob within 30 minutes. Prices were fair compared to other services as well.

If you lock your keys in your car like I did, these are the people to call. In the past, I've had other locksmiths give me the run around with pricing and ETA, not Robert from El Cheapo 24 Hour Mobile Locksmith & Road Services. He was responsive right away and was there within 30 mins. The service was super quick and easy as well. I apologize because I didn't get his name, it was either Eddie or Eric, but he had a great smile, was professional, and efficient! If I ever lock my keys in my car again (and hopefully I don't ??) these guys will be the first people I call. Thank you so much for your help. God bless!

Robert and his son are the best! They came to the rescue when we discovered the deadbolt on our lock was stuck and would not budge, leaving us literally locked out of our store an hour before we were scheduled to open. They rushed to the scene in no time and got us unstuck and ready to open just in time! Plus they are good solid folks. They are a hidden local gem and a great small business to support and their pricing is very fair. Highly recommend!
