Jose is a great guy! Very professional, knows his stuff and reasonable fair pricing. Have used his services a few times and always impeccable. Look no further! read more

Long overdue review! Jose has been our go-to locksmith for many years. Within the past 7 years, he has rekeyed all of the locks in 3 apartments and finally, a home for us. No matter where we relocated to, Jose always made sure his service was available to us and for a fair price. He is very knowledgeable, kind, and patient. We highly recommend Arc Mobile Locksmith! read more

I had a car door that wasn't unlocking for months. I sent Jose a message on Yelp at 6PM and he agreed to meet me at 8:30! He was kind, fast and professional and explained everything he did in very clear terms. He even helped us out with some issues we were having on our other door. Highly recommended ! read more

Need: two doors locks changed (handle and deadbolt) and one handle's core replaced. Initial call: called Jose at about 12/1pm and he said he could come to my house around 5 that day - very quick timing! Super impressed! Service appointment: Jose called to let me know when he was on his way, arrived promptly, took his shoes off in my house per my request (and made sure to do so after every trip back out to his truck) and completed the service in about an hour. He gave me three copies of the new key too. Pricing: I ended up paying around $116, which was actually less than his initial $125 estimate. I thought that was pretty reasonable for what I needed, but don't have a ton of experience with locksmiths. Overall: quick scheduling, great service, competitive pricing - 5 stars! Highly recommend! P.S. He takes credit cards! Awesome! read more

Really nice locksmith :) The ignition cylinder on my car had apparently gotten worn out and jammed, and the towing guy from Professional Towing (J Rod) suggested Jose at A.R.C Mobile Locksmith as a guy with reasonable rates and gave me his card. After my usual mechanic (4 B Auto) told me that a locksmith would be able to get it done for me faster, since they weren't specialized and might have a harder time locating the right parts, I gave him a call. Since my dad was visiting, he dropped me off at work and then met Jose to get the cylinder replaced after the right parts had been located and acquired. By Dad's account, Jose was a really nice guy and took the time to explain what he was doing and how the lock worked (Dad and I are both engineers, so we like seeing this kind of stuff--Dad showed me later, as he kept the old cylinder, and it's pretty cool). Jose also pays a lot of attention to detail, finding me new key blanks that would look exactly like the set being replaced (they were quite worn and he suggested a new key or two to prevent trouble in the future) and also noticing how much nicer the escutcheon on the original cylinder was and reusing that rather than putting in the new, less legible escutcheon, which I really appreciated. And even though Jose took longer than he thought he would to replace the cylinder (the old one was really, really stuck), he only charged for the time quoted, which was damn decent of him :) If you need any sort of locksmith work, especially on your car, I think this is the guy to call :D Thanks, Jose! read more

Jose is very knowledgeable and professional! The pricing is beyond reasonable and the appointments are pretty flexible. I have referred his services to several acquaintances. I highly recommend ARC Mobile Locksmith, for your locksmith needs. read more

Issue: disfunction of car lock Phone call: I made almost 10 calls, and Jose is the only one returning my call shortly and ask professional questions. He even diagnosed the problem before he came to my site via our conversation. Onsite service: He is super kind, patient, explain everything to me before he proceeded. He is very professional, knowledgeable, and fixed my car lock step by step. Meanwhile, he charged me very reasonably. I did not have to change my lock. I would highly recommend him to anyone having the similar problem. Finding the right person is very important and so hard now. He is the guy! read more

I cant tell you how stressed I was before jose came to my house. He saved the day! He fixed a very difficult lock and helped me reinstalled it. I thought that I would have to either break the door or the lock to get the door opens. Jose is professional, respectful, friendly, talented and knowledgeable. He definitely knows what to do. He fixed my door within 18 minutes. I spent two hours!!! And still couldn't get it out. Jose was on time and on task and I am so thankful for his service. He also has the BEST price in san jose!!! You're the man jose!! Thank you so much! I saved your number for future services. You're the best!! read more

Jose was very professional, helpful and efficient! Really appreciated his approach and would highly recommend ARC Mobile to anyone. Very reasonable as well. read more

If I could give Jose 10 stars, I totally would! He is the most honest and nice locksmith I have ever met and ALWAYS responds back to our calls. I highly recommend Jose as the best locksmith ever! read more

Jose was on POINT. I lost my car keys at the beach for my 93 Acura. And he was actually concerned about where I lost it, therefore no one else can get into my car. He got the job done quick and easy. He's courteous and easy to talk to. I honestly wouldn't recommend anyone else. Do yourself a favor and call this guy when you need a replacement key. read more

We had a situation where a guest got a key stuck in our front door while I was out of town. Jose worked with me over the phone and repaired the lock on a tight schedule, for a very reasonable charge. I'd recommend him any time. read more

I called ARC mobile I lost my key for my Ford Mustang. Jose was very courteous and he showed up on time he was professional and courteous. I would definitely recommend him for anyone who needs keys. read more

ARC- Jose! Nicest guy. Greatest service! Extremely fair. He will take care of your lockout as fast as he can. If I ever had a lock- issue again- he'd be the only person I'd call (well... Unless I was in a different state or something... (; ) happy to write this review! read more

Called A.R.C. Mobile Locksmith based on the existing reviews. The ignition key for our 2001 Toyota Seinna was binding. Just managed to get it started and drove straight home. Called another locksmith that was recommended to me and was told that I did not need a locksmith, but a mechanic (really!). Called A.R.C. on a Friday afternoon and spoke with Jose. He was not available that day and offered to come out the following Monday. After some discussion, he agreed to work with our schedule and came out the very next day (Saturday). He qave me an initial cost estimate of $150 and explained that it could be more if he had to replace the ignition cylinder rather than rebuild it. Yes, rebuild it! Rather than take the easy route and just have me pay for a new lock cylinder he was going to try to repair the one we had. I felt better about my decision to call A.R.C. already. Jose came out the next day and worked on our Seinna a good hour and a half to two hours. He was able to rebuild the ignition cylinder and explained everything he was doing as he was doing it. Made two new keys for us as the old ones were beginning to wear. Total cost to repair the lock was $160.93. Jose was very professional, called to let us he was on the way with an ETA, explained what he hoped to do, and what he was doing as he was doing it. I don't recommend to many businesses or keep many names and numbers on file, but Jose and A.R.C. Mobile Locksmith will definitely will be on that list. read more

My boyfriend and I just moved in to our new home, we didn't have a key to one of our doors and wanted to re-key all the locks anyway. Jose, the owner, was quick to respond to us, gave us a reasonable and accurate quote, came to our house and changed the locks for us all within less than 24 hours! He's very nice and worked fast. One lock that we wanted to change couldn't be changed and he explained why he couldn't re-key it, he also explained how simple it would be for us to change it ourselves. I highly recommend him! read more

He works fast! Needed a new ignition key after my keys were lost. He definitely knows his craft. Definitely would recommend.

Jose was quick to respond to my quote requests and subsequent messages, showed up on time, was friendly and professional and got the job done fast! I highly recommend him! read more

Awesome service. I lost my keys to my vehicle and did not have a spare. Jose helped me out the same evening I spoke to him. I could tell it was already a long day for him, but he was willing to come across town to help me out. He was able to create a key for me for $100 and even made me a spare. He is super polite, professional and knows his stuff! His prices are fair and I wouldn't hesitate to call him again! Thank you Jose. read more

Best locksmith ever!!! Never lets me down. Does everything from computer programming, to basic open up lock doors. The best hands down!!!

Somehow we managed to lose BOTH keys to our storage unit. I called and left a message for Jose and he called me back in less than 30 minutes. He was booked solid but gave me two possible times for the next day. He called me to update and met me at the storage facility. HE tried to save the lock for possible rekeying, but finally had to drill it out. It all took less than 20 minutes. He also gave me some free advice about the lock on the construction fence at my property. He was cheerful, polite, and had a great sense of humor. And the price was extremely reasonable - I'd've been willing to pay twice what he charged (and might have with another locksmith). read more

Fantastic experience - thanks Yelp! I found ARC Mobile Locksmith here on Yelp. When I called, the owner, Jose, answered immediately. I had misplaced my car key for a second car (which was also locked!), so we arranged a visit. He was very courteous, informative, and went the extra mile to make a replacement that worked like a charm. I thought his pricing was excellent. I would definitely use his services again. read more

This is the best mobile locksmith ever!!! 1) This is run by a single professional who has everything together. 2) I found him on Craigslist on a Saturday after having been locked out of a sensitive UHaul - which automatically locks the entire van when you close A single door (a defect at best). 3) He arrived as promptly as anyone could ever travel. 4) He opened the Van in less than one minute - I think perhaps 30 seconds, without any damage to the vehicle at all - a great relief - and this Van was designed to be theft proof. 5) He charged only $50.00 when other locksmiths asked for $130 plus for the same job. 6) He has an electronic reader for credit/debit cards and sends the customer an email of the invoice - paperless innovation moving forward. . 7) He is a kind human being - a rare thing in business these days. Oh he serves the entire South Bay of San Jose, California. read more

Really quick and personable. Was at my location within 30 minutes (per my request-could have been sooner if I was not occupied). Reasonably priced as well. read more
