Locksmiths refused to sell me products because I can program them myself and they wouldn't be able to make maximum profit. They've sold to me once before but then won't do it again because who knows why read more

I wanted to update a previous review. I drove there for the $90 programming. I decided to learn to do this on my own. I did end up buying a $600 programmer device. It only took me 10 mins to program the key. Not sure why they are so greedy and charge so much for programming. They knew I was going to provide the hardware bought on Amazon. read more

We called on Amazing from Yelp reviews and their location, closest to our house. The emergency was that the latch on the fire door between our kitchen and garage was immoble. JD at Amazing Locksmith Service understood immediatly what we needed to get fixed, gave me accurate instructions to get the replacement part [Kudos to John Y at the N. Lamar Lowes], and gave me estimates for the repairs. It took a few hours but Jake came to our house, got the door open, replaced the faulty latch, and reset the key so that my house keys work. 2 slight suggestions - Jake was unable to get his phone to accept credit cards - functional credit/debit card acceptance is essential these days. I actually found an old check book so I could pay. Also, the charges for the service call and the lock re-set were not as originally quoted. It was close enough not to make a fuss, plus we were so grateful for the excellent service, but financial matters need to be clear and coordinated. Yes, I defintely would recommend Amazing Locksmiths to others and would call on them again. read more

Had a great experience here replacing a flip key for our Buick. Called around for several quotes and all were within the $135-150 range. Here it was $139 before taxes. I was in and out within 15 minutes with a perfectly functional, mirror image of the old key. They cut and programmed it lickety-split with banger customer service. Will definitely be back for future key needs. read more

I came in here because I lost the key to my tool box on the bed of my truck. They were able to get me in and out within 15 minutes. After they gave me the keys they even helped me get my tool box to lock because I was having trouble with the latch. I would definitely recommend this business. They are good people with good prices. read more

Amazing Locksmith Service - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - Austin, Texas

I found this locksmith on yelp. They had great reviews so I decided to use their service to fix my front door. We had just gotten home from being out of town and discovered we couldn't get into the front door (it was broken) . Frustrated, we called this company. They had a locksmith to our house within the hour! It was the end of the business day too! Tim was very friendly and repaired our lock super fast. The price was very reasonable too! It's no wonder they have such great reviews. I highly recommend this company! read more

Excellent service and the best prices in town. My wife and I purchased a duplicate key for our 2016 Ford Escape from Amazing Locksmiths today. JD is about as knowledgeable in car key programming as anyone can be. From our conversation, JD has been cutting and programming keys for quite some time and is a great source of information on this topic. We researched prices at dealerships, the standard online stores, and several key duplicating online stores. Amazing Locksmiths gave us the best overall price -- and was 1/2 the price of the price a local Austin dealership quoted us. In real dollars, we saved $200 for one key by purchasing it from Amazing Locksmiths. That is truly amazing and worthy of all five stars. Look for the big KEYS sign in the shopping center at the corner of Lamar and Rundberg. read more

I've made the mistake of getting duplicate keys from Home Depot, Walmart, or those silly machines. Every time, I always wind up back at Amazing Locksmiths to have duplicates made because his keys always WORK EVERY TIME! The others are crappy, don't work right, or simply will not open the lock. This guy, nope...his keys work perfectly the first time and every other time...until I lose it and have to go back and have him make new ones. A real professional at his craft! Super fast, too! Walk in, then walk out with your keys in just a few minutes! Plus, he has a great selection of keys, rings, fobs, etc. I love a "pretty key" on my key ring and his selection of colorful keys is THE BEST! read more

Worst Ever. Stay away from this place! Wanted a 2012 Nissan key programmed to open the doors and trunk. He said it would be 10 minutes and $60. Couldn't do it after about an hour. Blamed me and Nissan and everyone else but his lousy skills. After he said he couldn't make it work, he tried to charge me $55 FOR NOTHING! I told him to pack sand but since I'm a fair guy, I'd give him 30 for a key that I already possessed. Take it or leave it. He took it. Crook. read more

Tim did a great job fixing our special order lock! He worked efficiently and for a quality price. I'm so glad he could fix our lock since we would have needed a whole new door if it remained jammed. I highly recommend these guys for residential service. read more

These guys are great! Cannot recommend them enough. We had tenants change the locks without giving us a key and needed to inspect the property after they abandoned the home. Amazing Locksmith came out after closing time and got us into the home. I will use them now for all my Austin locksmith business. read more

They truly are amazing! I lost the one and only key to my Volvo so I thought about calling a mobile locksmith to make a key from the lock. Turns out I could get the key code from the Volvo dealership for free and get a key made at any key shop. So I called around to find a place that would cut a key from the code. The first place didn't cut car keys so they recommend a couple other places (these places were either too far away or too expensive). Then I came across Amazing Locksmith Service on Yelp and gave them a call. Sure enough, they could cut the key from the code. So I head on over there and I'm blown away by all the keys they have lined up on the walls of the shop! I was greeted by the woman I spoke to on the phone and the guy making the keys. Everyone was real friendly and knowledgeable about keys and locks. I got a pair of keys for a reasonable price and went on my way. The keys turned perfectly in the doors and ignition of my Volvo without any hangups nor jiggling! I'm one satisfied customer! read more

My dealership wanted to charge me $300 to replace a broken car key ("There's a COMPUTER CHIP inside that key, and we have to PROGRAM it!") and wanted me to leave my truck at the dealership for the day. The guys at this shop laughed at my story and made a duplicate key, programmed it in 5 minutes, AND cracked the chip out of the original key and dropped it into a new shell for LESS THAN $100! Two keys!! I intend to take my receipt to the dealership and show the service manager. Seriously, these guys are my heroes. read more

The main locksmith is a true artisan. I've had to go in to get key fobs replaced and saved tons of time and money over what I would have spent at the dealer. Whether you need a new battery, a new fob case, or a soldering job, this is the place for you!...it certainly is for me. read more

Amazing indeed! I bought used Chrysler Pacifica with just one original key and wanted another one made for me. I bought blank remote key online and these guys were able to cut it just right and order pin code to program it to . And price was unbeatable! Highly recommending. read more

This is only the second review I have posted since the www's debut, but I had to make the effort for the guys at Amazing Locksmith, for they truly live up to their name! I recently purchased a low mileage used Miata that has quickly become the car of my dreams, save for one problem... the previous owner damaged his only backup key fob by trying to replace the battery in it without reading the instructions on how to do so, leaving me with only one operable key for the vehicle. I called a local Mazda dealership to inquire about the price of a replacement, and was told that it would run me just North of $300 after taxes! For one!! The previous owner had placed the remains of his "repair" job in a ziploc bag, so I took the crumbled bits of plastic and assorted bits of metal in to Amazing Locksmith Service to see if they could be re-assembled within a new plastic shell. I was introduced to J.D., who listened patiently to my tale of woe, and then sadly informed me that they were unable to obtain plastic shells for that particular key fob, and I was out of luck. I had also wanted to get a spare key cut for my motorcycle, and since I was already there, he was happy to oblige. As he cut the new key for me, I could tell that he was ruminating about being unable to satisfy my original request. When he finished and brought me the new motorcycle key he said " I think I have an idea... let me see that bag of parts again". I handed him the bag, and he muttered something like "It looks like everything is there..." and walked over to a wall lined with what appeared to be thousands of automotive key blanks, and after some scrutiny, selected one and walked back over to the counter. "What I could do is try to cut the chip out of your old fob, and and then try to implant it in the head of this key. It won't have the remote options of the old fob, but at least it would unlock and start your car for you". "That's all I need it for" I said, "How much will that cost?" I asked. "Forty bucks", he replied. "SOLD!" I responded, and he grinned and walked over to his workbench and began what I can only describe as a delicate and detailed surgical operation. Over the next half hour I watched him toil away with his Dremel and dental tools, with the passion of an artist, and the drive of someone hellbent on getting something fixed. The depth and breadth of the love for his job was revealed in the ensuing conversation, and I would have to tell his employers that they have a true Austin customer service treasure in the person of this man. There were several points where success hung in the balance, but as his face began to glisten with sweat, I just knew that this guy was going to win out and accomplish the near impossible. Thanks again J.D., you are one in a million! read more

In a nutshell, truly amazing. I went to them with some work involving a rare circular type key I lost to a lock. They produced a master for that lock maker's series to open it. Next they had to manually override a lost combination for me, safe-cracking a heavy business safe of mine from my old office. Owner Gary made me an appointment so I could drop off the work, assistant J.D. did the first job and worked on the second then Gary finished the job. The shop also sells quality used safes, security drawers, money boxes, firesafes, locking boxes, etc. and has a great low price listed on every item. All in all, I was extremely satisfied as Owner Gary was expert and fair. His store offers a great honest value on every product and service the business offers. I watched his happy customers come in and out in a steady stream, each very promptly assisted, as I waited on my job to be completed. I highly recommend this honest business. Amazing Locksmith store and workshop is an example of the type of honest independent locally-owned type of small business that I like to support in the community. Beware frauds. One place told me the job would be $200 and another said $175. Even the key I lost and safe combo of my serial number from the maker if I bought it would've cost $35 to show up in 7-10 days or $75 overnight. Gary worked me a good deal to open my safe in a fair trade for a product I owned. Amazing Locksmith is very professional, friendly, and bilingual: Spanish spoken fluently. read more

Update 5/30/11 The owner took some offense to this review and contacted me personally to offer criticism and to request that I remove it. Let me be clear about our situation. -We were stuck without a phone in a parking lot -We went to Taco Bell to find a phone book -We looked up Locksmiths in the yellow pages and found Amazing Locksmith listed on Pecan Street -We called their number in the yellow pages and were (unknowingly and according to the owner) "routed to a national company" -Our experience unfolds as listed below The owner claims that the national company is responsible for our experience and insinuates that we are at fault for posting this review and 'blasting their business' when we were unknowingly routed to a 'scamming' national company. This sounds like Amazing Locksmith Service needs to investigate their yellow pages listing instead of blaming the customer for calling their number in the phone book. I changed my review to 3 stars instead of 1 star because I do want to support local businesses. Although I took offense to the owner's poor interpersonal skills, if his company is not responsible for our experience then I don't think they should be held accountable for this 'national scamming company'. I guess if you call these guys, be careful that you are actually getting their company and not being rerouted. ------------------------------------- This place left us stranded. Thank god we called the cops who rescued us (FOR FREE) more quickly. Here's the scoop, our keys and cell phones were locked in our car. We trotted over to the closest restaurant (taco bell) and begged for a phone and phone book. We called these guys because the address lists them as down the road on Pecan St. We called them because theoretically they would be closest, and quickest. Lo and behold, they have a phone service that you have to call. We told the operator our situation, she asked for a phone number. We told her that we did not have a cell number, and that we were at a local restaurant and did not have a number where she could reach us. Furthermore, we told her that the restaurant was a hike from our car and that we'd have to leave the restaurant to be there for the technician. She told us it wasn't a problem, and that she'd send someone to the Pflugerville High School where our car was. She estimated approximately 15 minutes. We agreed and thanked her. After we hung up, the very nice taco bell employee told us that we could call the sherrifs department and they'd come out for free. We opted to go ahead and do that and see which one came first. There were issues on the phone call with the locksmith lady, so we felt uncertain because she demanded an address and we couldn't give her one. We told her it was just down the road from their office, but she informed us that the service we called was national and not local. We pleaded with her that we did not know an address but that it was a common landmark in Pflugerville. About 30 minutes later, there is no sign of the locksmith. Finally the cops show up, break into our car (yes for free), and we are on our way. I call back the locksmith agency as a courtesy to tell them that we had the sheriff's department help us. She tells me that they did not actually send anyone. Frustrated, and appalled, I questioned her. She said that the agents were contractors, and that the office was not in fact down the street, and that they had trouble finding a technician on a Sunday afternoon. I was furious!!! Can you imagine what would have happened if we had not called the sherrifs department? We would have been stuck out there indefinitely until we called them back. So, word to the wise, the mysterious location on Pecan Street is apparently just a farce, and they apparently can't offer help on weekends, or off hours. read more

Really great! Sam was on time, very friendly and all business. Installed and programmed two combo dead bolts in an hour. Very good and we are very pleased! Amazing to be sure read more

I am long overdue for writing this. I needed to have the house re-keyed and Amazing Locksmith did the job beautifully and for much less than I expected. Professional, friendly, prompt AND they keys worked great. I like to use family businesses and this one is a good one. I've used other locksmiths in the past & was impressed. I'm keeping them in my book to use if we ever need more re-keying. read more

I called amazing locksmith service about a key but I had locked inside the cab of a Freightliner truck, locksmith Sam H arrived in under 20 minutes and he was able to pick the lock and open the cab of the truck in about 10 minutes or less. The total time from the phone call being placed to having the key in my hand was roughly about 30 minutes. Sam H and amazing locksmith service did an amazing job, this is an individual and a company with integrity. I highly recommend them to anyone in the Austin arra. read more

DO NOT GO TO THESE PEOPLE! I had a horrible, terrible experience with them! Not only did I wait HOURS alone in my car for them (when they said they would be there) but when I finally got someone ELSE to make me a key, it turns out the "amazing locksmith" had broken my ignition. Took the car to the dealership and they said the same thing. Overall cost: WAY TOO MUCH! These people should be closed down!!! read more

A door we don't have a key too accidentally got locked while the dog was inside, & a worker named Sam came out ASAP and it took like 10 seconds for him to do his thing and the door was open! Quick service & friendly employees. read more

I locked myself out of my house and they came within 15 minutes of my call. The man was professional, clean and very friendly. My dog was going crazy inside and he was very friendly to my dog and kind. This company was excellent to do business with, and I will use them again in the future (hopefully not because I've locked myself out of my house though!) read more

Amazing!! Had a problem opening my big safe. Gary gave me help over the phone for free and had it opened in a minute! Another locksmith probably would have insisted on a house call plus big service fees. This guy knows his stuff, is helpful and honest in my opinion. read more

Amazing is right!! I have called on Gary for 5 yrs now on every lock issue we have had. From autos to housing, etc, he has always been professional, expedient, fair and honest. He has always stood behind his service and products when a problem arose. His prices are more than fair, he deserves more than he charges!! We will never use another Locksmith! read more
