Customer Reviews
Hey Mafs
I recently lost my spare car key and was worried it would be a huge hassle to get a new one made. I contacted 101 Locksmith in Santa Monica, and they were absolutely amazing from start to finish. The technician arrived quickly, was super friendly, and explained the whole key copying process so I understood exactly what was happening. Within minutes, they had my new car key ready, and it worked perfectly on the first try. The service was fast, professional, and reasonably priced. I really appreciated their honesty and the care they took to make sure I was satisfied. I’ll definitely call 101 Locksmith again if I ever need locksmith services, and I highly recommend them to anyone in Santa Monica!

My husband left them a bad review because they were very rude to him. Now they’re calling and staying silent when he answers, calling him from multiple numbers and even texting him on whatsapp because he wont remove his review. Acting very shady and unprofessional. STAY AWAY
Derek Miller
Shady business, told me they needed to drill the most simple lock and the price would be over $300. Then back tracked and ended up prying the locker door open and charing me $120 for 5 seconds of work. Don't use them, they will scam you.
