Excellent experience with Enrique. He programmed my car 2018 Chevy Silverado key without any issues and had me back on the road in no time. You can tell he knows his trade, and he was honest, efficient, and professional throughout the entire process. I highly recommend asking for Enrique if you need a reliable locksmith.

I was having a key emergency, in which my key would not lock my car and the windows would roll down automatically. Enrique was so kind. He assessed the issue with my key fob and gave his recommendation and in about 20 mins I had a new key. He was honest, polite, and had very fair pricing.

I cannot recommend this place enough, I have been putting off getting the battery in my car, keys and new house keys made for months at this point. They were not only extremely fast but made it easy to create new house keys copies and changed out the battery on my key fob. I was done in less than 3 minutes!!! Also…

Go here if you actually want to fix your key fob. Not the dealer ship that is going to quote you an obscene amount of money. Just go here. Thank you Enrique for your help!
