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 treated with prompt service and reasonable prices. Enrique was very professional and polite. This is where I get all my key related services.
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…
Enrique was very helpful. This is my 3rd time visiting and my go to spot for getting keys made.

5 STARS — Enrique did amazing job for me in short amount of time! Highly recommend!
Enrique was very knowledgeable and professional. He cut and programmed my new car key fobs. Good price; a third of what the dealership wanted. Highly recommend.
The technician came on time and was very friendly. He solved my issue really fast, and gave a reasonable price. Will be using this service again

At home, I had misplaced my keys and called for help. When explaining what needs to get done and how we could do it, their expert showed at my house in a very timely fashion and was very polite. This is the second or third time this company has aided and they were really kind, intelligent and articulate, just like…
Guy was quick and super friendly... I will be coming back for more key copying needs!!
Kind, honest, and polite. Reasonable prices. Responded quickly, and arrived as requested. Provided services within reason. Would recommend if you need a car key replacement. Covid-19: wore face mask the entire time.
Ken was great. Very professional, spent quite a bit of time working on creating a new key for my emergency lock on my car. Very friendly, and I found him to be very patient and he was ready to do what he needed to do to get the job done. I highly recommend this business.
They had the original key. They cut and programmed it on the spot. At the dealership, we would have had to wait for the key to arrive for two weeks. And the price would have been almost twice as much. These guys were quick, they made sure everything worked, and (most importantly) they cared. Dealerships don't. Thank you!
