I was able to get a copy of my car key, which was hard to have done elsewhere.

Unfortunately this is my last time coming here
Such a disappointment
I remember used to be good…but
I went for a keyfob copy for my car plus maybe a battery change for my oem key,
BOY I was wrong, I park in front of the store, same drill I put an order to make, he start doing it and then out of nowhere he claimed that my car have no battery!
Which is ridiculous I literally just pass smog check and all points with my personal mechanic.he states that he can’t do anything more and that’s it.
I’m stuck my my car no able to turned on even with my original key.
I even call my mechanic to confirm what happened, he also have no clue.
And since the locksmith was about to leave he knowing that my car car had a problem just walk away closed everything and left.
I’m now in front of his store with a car that can not run and with no keys.
I had to call a private service from afar to make sure the problem is taking care of.
We found out that this problem was caused by him.
He deprogrammed my original key and erase all data before assuring that the copy is been done correctly.this provoked the anti theft system to activate.i pay triple for a guy to do this the right way just because he did a shortcut and messed up my car!!!
Good job man!
You ruined my Friday afternoon and since a have no vehicle with me , I had to call my family to assist me.
SUCH OF DISAPPOINTMENT!!
I was furious!!!
Worst place at night to be too ,
Not safe at all!
Never again!
And I will sure none of my friends and family come here and also pass the voice
So none of the people who are reading this post spend $400 for someone mistake

Had a missing key for an older sliding door lock. Brought it in to be rekeyed. He replaced the lock with two keys. $20 and 15 mins later out the door. He is very knowledgeable and friendly. Very pleased with his service. Highly recommend.

Taryn Huffman on A-1 Lock & Safe

Fast, easy, extremely affordable. Approximately $4 per key that we had copied, compared to more than $10 we would have spent at a self service key copy stand. We were in and out in less than 15 minutes.

Highly recommended!!

Amazing Service, reasonable price. Got a car key programed for 30% of what the dealer was charging and included a cut physical key, done in 5 mins. Highly recommend for all your home and car key needs.
