Eric was amazing! I needed a new key made for my Subaru Ascent after losing both of my keys, and the dealership quoted me $2,400 and up to two weeks to get it done. Eric was professional, kind, personable, and clearly knew exactly what he was doing. He was at my house within an hour and had everything taken care of in less than 45 minutes, for a much more reasonable price. I'm so glad I found Advanced Key Solutions. If you need a car key or fob replaced, I highly recommend Eric. Excellent service from start to finish! read more

Wow, such a fast service. I am so thankful for finding Eric, I forgot my keys inside my car and didn't have a spare. Eric came really fast and within 20 minutes I was in my car with spare keys and a control for my Toyota!! I will definitely recommend you give him a call, he works fast and prices are good. You will be glad you call him too! read more

See all

We lost the keys for our Nissan Leaf. Most locksmiths are not mobile but Eric came to our house and did a great job programming new keys for a very reasonable price. I highly recommend him. read more

Advanced Key Solutions - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me

I was inclined to give this company a call because of the great reviews but as you can see, it seems they dont really care to respond to new business and have no courtesy to at least inform you they can not fix your issue. They read my messages and never bothered to respond. When in an emergency situation as I was this was by far very disappointing to say the least. Many other locksmiths responded to my quote request even if they were not able to repair my issue. Seems like this guy doesnt need any new clients or business. Thanks to them I will be taking my business somewhere else. read more

Lost both keys to our BMW X5 on a weekend, like a miracle Eric kindly came out on a Sunday night and took care of it! Highly recommended!

Amazing fast and honest!! They made a key for my Mini Cooper I just bought from auction. The gentlemen is great with excellent service and even taught me how to drive stick shift since I didn't know how to drive it away. Lol read more

A couple of months go by, the key isn't holding a charge. I send Eric a text he tells me his keys use a replaceable, not rechargeable, battery. I replace the battery. The key still needs to be reprogrammed nearly every time. I messaged Eric again, he says it may be the car. The original key always works. It's the weekend, he asks when he could come by Monday, I texted back anytime after 1pm. Never hear from Eric. I don't chase. I ended up transplanting another, working, radio into the key Eric did to get it to work reliably. read more

Wow, extremely impressed and so thankful that i found Eric on yelp, he knows what he's doing, profesional, nice and goes out of his way to make his customers happy. *****I HIGHLY RECOMMEND his services****. You will not be disappointed with his work. And the best part is how affordable his prices are!!!Just an amazing job, thank you for getting my new 328i BMW key working like i'm getting it from the dealer (without the super high cost). I'll make sure my friends and family know about your services and keep spreading the word about you and your amazing work. Thanks, Robert read more

Eric and Chris are 2 amazing locksmiths. Last night the repo company I work for had a large repo operation we were repoing cars from a dealership all cars had no keys. Eric and Chris work from 11pm to almost 5 getting all the keys made. Amazing service recommend they to everyone who needs keys read more

Eric arrived on time and ready to program a spare fob for my Prius. Saved me over $100 compared to the local dealer, and was done in 30 minutes. He made sure the physical key unlocked the door smoothly and took some extra time it fit perfectly. He also gave me pointers on how to start the car if the battery runs low. I would highly recommend his services to family and friends. read more

Eric is your the only locksmith you will ever need. A professional, talented and courteous guy that loves his work. I was without any key & FOB for my Mercedes ML350 and all dealers were on a 3-week backorder. Our car wasn't going anywhere. So I emailed Eric and got a reply including a quote in no time at all. Eric even arrived early which was great. He definitely goes that extra mile to explain everything and ensure your fob and key work perfectly. Eric, thank you for helping out. You saved us time and money. Without any hesitation, Eric and Advanced Key Solutions is "Highly Recommended" read more

Quick service from the time I called to when my two keys were completed. Price is very fair compared to what dealers charge.

You will never need another locksmith ever again! Erik is the best locksmith I've ever done business with, as of this date he's made over 100 keys for me personally and has probably serviced a large amount of my customers. Being in the automotive business it's very difficult to find reliable, trustworthy and fair pricing of vendors so when I starting doing business with Erik he was a breath of fresh air. He keeps his word and is the lowest priced for the quality of work he does. DONT USE ANYONE ELSE, you will regret it (including your local franchise dealership). He's made keys for BMW, VW, Toyota, Honda, Chevrolet, Ford and a ton more! Even vehicles no other locksmith would touch. I can really go on and on but I think I've proven my point read more

I had a really bad experience with a different locksmith before Advanced Key Solutions came to help. Eric was very patient and understanding of my car situation. He offered to come to 2 different locations to make new keys for my Lexus. He answered my all my questions and explained everything he was doing. These guys are great!!! Great service, great manners, great prices! Couldn't ask for anyone better. I will be definitely sending people his way for any key needs! Thank you again Eric! read more

so my key wouldn't unlock the door to my BMW. AAA couldn't get into my car either. there was no way of getting inside the car so I called Advanced Key Solutions and Eric helped me out big time! he came to my house within 5 minutes, he was fast and efficient. He reprogrammed my key, laser cut the key and had to solder the battery back to the microchip. Overall great price and friendly service. Thanks for helping me out Eric! Definitely recommend :) read more

Just get your key at the dealer! Eric did a key for me that only lasted a month. Once key stopped working called him to se if he could come out to check it out. At no point did I want him or ask him to come out for free. Key was not dropped or damaged. Scheduled a time with him to come out and fix it and never called or showed up. Tried to get in contact with him but never answered or responded to voicemails. Goes to show he does shotty work because by him not responding I would imply he does not guarantee his work. Think twice before you hire this guy! read more

Lost keys to my 2005 Jaguar. The dealer that I have spent a lot of money with in Newport Beach wanted $600 for a remote and said it would be $200 if I bought a remote and have them program it. Then they said if that remote does not work I still would have to pay the $200 Can you believe that?? Also I would have to have my car towed to them. This why I stopped using the dealers for my car service long ago. Any way, after hours of research I found Advanced thru Safeco Insurance. I called Eric and he came to my home in less than an hour, made a key complete with a remote for almost1/2 the price. Eric was totally professional.Need car keys? Call Advanced you will be a happy camper read more

Let me start off by saying how thankful I am for Eric at Advanced Key Solutions. I found myself in a tough situation having my truck stolen the day before and my wife having her only car key inside my truck at the time it was stolen. So not only did I not have my vehicle but my wife's car wasn't going anywhere without a key. She has a Mini Cooper and it is one of those vehicles that have the expensive chip keys that need programming and special cuts on the side of the key. I called Eric who came recommended from a locksmith that I had reached out to locally but couldn't help me with a key I needed for my wife's car. Eric responded quickly and had a set of keys for my wife's car in no time. I have been in the security business for over 30 years and have dealt with plenty of locksmiths and can tell you that Eric knows his business like know else. I truly watched a master at work. I was so impressed by his level of professionalism and knowledge for his trade that I knew I had contacted the best in the business. Eric's rates where more than reasonable for the quality of work that he delivers. Thanks again Eric. read more
