Reviews frequently cite fast help with automotive keys and ignitions, including on-site fixes when a vehicle cannot be driven. Customers note successful programming for newer models and appreciate clear communication and punctuality. Pricing is often described as reasonable compared with other options. Occasional negative feedback about phone interactions appears addressed by follow-up from the owner.

Was referred here from other auto locksmiths as this guy 'keeps up on the newest tech'.

He was able to program my Key Card and add it to my 11th gen Civic Si as an additional card so my existing key fobs still work normally.

No complaints. Price was better than everywhere else too. I would come back in the future if I need auto-locksmith work.

Called them unaware they were closed. Despite being closed a man answered the phone and was EXTREMELY rude. EDIT: Ryan, the owner, who was not there when the phone was answered, left me a voicemail and apologized profusely and offered to make amends. Reaching out was enough. Apology accepted.

Had my Jeep Wrangler towed to Yark becaues the key would not turn in ignition. Yark would not look at it. Called around to get it fixed. AAA advised me to call A1 Lock. Ryan came to Yark and fixed my Jeep surprisingly fast. This is the first review I have ever posted.
