Reviews frequently mention quick help for lockouts, including timely arrival and clear communication. Several customers note successful solutions for specialized keys, such as motorcycle ignitions. Some critical feedback cites counter communication issues and unclear pricing expectations for cutting and programming keys. Overall sentiment trends positive but highlights the value of confirming key details by phone before visiting.

Far the most horrible and unprofessional place in springfield to do business with blessed there is better company out there that care about there customers i purchased a key and fob week later it stopped working and they told me bring key in work receipt, and as long as the key fob wasn't dropped in water or damaged, then I could schedule a tech to come out to my house to get my truck running. Meanwhile, I guess i'm just without a vehicle lessons learned another horrible springfield business also don't let a1 rob you go on amazon and purchase this programmer super easy to do and you will have extra keys programmed, and ready to go.

I Called and asked how much to cut and program a key. Then told them the make and model, all they Said was 20 dollars so when I showed up with 2 keys I was told they don't cut other keys which was not mentioned. Why give a price to cut keys and not the price for the key and to be cut. This is my second time where a guy behind the counter has had an attitude and misinformation. I would recommend 1 of the other 2 locksmiths in town.

Lost my only motorcycle key for a 2008 Suzuki Boulevard. I brought in the ignition switch and A-1 was able to make me a new key in a week. The new key works great and operates properly on all 4 locks. Ignition, gas cap, glove box and steering lock.
On the road again. "Willie Nelson".

Thank you A-1.

I accidently locked myself out of our house during a contractor repair job and A-1 quickly dispatched a locksmith and gained access to the property. They drove 30 minutes from their office to complete this job. Both dispatch and the locksmith were cheery and professional. I'd recommend.

Locked my keys in my car on a roadtrip, the A-1 technician arrived in 30 minutes after I called and I was on the road shortly after. Price was far more reasonable than what the hardware store kiosk pretending to be a real locksmith would have charged.

Frequently Asked Questions

They generally offer lockout assistance, key cutting for select keys, rekeying, and support for door and lock hardware. It’s best to call first with your key type, vehicle make and model, or lock brand to confirm availability.

Public reviews indicate they assist with some automotive keys and programming. Because compatibility varies by vehicle, call with your year, make, and model to confirm whether they can service your key or fob.

Response time depends on current workload and distance from the shop. Some customers report prompt arrivals, but calling ahead will provide the most accurate timeframe for your location.

Policies can vary, and some reviewers mention limitations on cutting third-party blanks. To avoid a return trip, call first and ask whether your specific blank can be cut.

Have your vehicle information, proof of ownership, and identification ready. For lock hardware or residential keys, bringing the existing key, cylinder information, or clear photos can help speed up service.
