OMG! These guys are awesome.
This is "THEE" locksmith company that everyone needs to go to when you have a situation. (My review may be long, but it will be worth your time to read.)
My husband had lost his bundle of keys, which had his truck key on it.
I had called to get an estimate from another key "person" who didn't answer with the company's name, which concerned me because it could be a scam. So I did some research. The company had a GET however was not currently registered with the DCCA, as it was dissolved, cancelled and terminate according to their records.
So when I continued to check for more locksmiths, I came across Affordable Locksmith & Sons. I called 808-943-1425 and was given a quote, and said thank you and hung up. I figured I would continue to shop around more.
A few minutes later, I received a text, informing me that I should be aware of people quoting me a lower price and then coming and charging me more.
At first I thought "oh, that was nice of him. He is genuinely concerned." then of course, because of my concerns from the first one I called I thought that it could be a scam, and that he just wants my business.
Well, I started to do my research. I found that Affordable Locksmith & Sons had both their GET & DCCA license. I reviewed their website http://affordablelocksmithllc.com/
and found that the video of Richard Berrios Sr. helped me but a face to the voice that I spoke with at first and our continued texting/conversation of the best way to get the key made on a late Saturday afternoon. We basically became friends within a few hours because of all the questions or concerns I had, and his honest answers.
Then, after countless times searching for the keys, we happen to find a single key, that we thought we had lost many years ago, and it was for the truck. After all the planning to get it from Affordable Locksmith & Sons, we didn't need the emergency replacement.
When I found the key, I was both happy and sad because of course we found it, but also because Richard Sr. had been so helpful. And when I told him, that we had found it, the first thing he texted back to me was "God is Great."
WOW! I was amazed. He was just as happy for me in finding the keys as I was. And even thanking our Heavenly Father for such a success.
So, instead of going to Home Depot or any other place, we made sure we kept the key in a safe place and on Monday, went to Affordable Locksmith & Sons at their shop at 1259 South Beretania. (across the street from Times or Safeway)
When we got there, Richard Sr. greeted us and of course I gave him a big hug. His son, Richard Jr. made four (4) keys for us and I had gotten a new all in one transponder key for my car. (which was far less then dealership prices)
Bruny (mom) who is the receptionist is wonderful. She kept me company as I sat in the air conditioned office, talking with her about this father-son business, while the both of them were outside working on my car.
When they were done, they reassured me that everything was good. (And it is) The price I paid for everything was far less than expected, and the customer service is awesome.
Note: Every key for a car is different and the prices will vary. But just know that it is worth doing business with Affordable Locksmith & Sons.
Richard Sr. is a credible business man.
His Ohana and their faith has given me trust in their work and business ethics.
That is why this is "Thee" locksmith to bookmark on yelp.
