Someone broke into one of our employee's personal truck and stole the keys to our company Freightliner. I needed to get it rekeyed before the thief figured out which truck the key went to and returned to steal the whole truck. I called around but most companies told me they couldn't do it because it was a freightliner (I don't know why that made a difference, but...). And if they would do it, they wanted an arm & a leg to do it. Finally, I found Saif at Auto Key SD. Not only was he able to do it, he came out that day to get it done, he was friendly and professional, and he did it for a fraction of what the other guys wanted! Will definitely save this number! read more

Steve spent hours trying to duplicate keys for our old VW. The dealer wanted about $750 and after three days said VW won't supply keys for cars older than ten years! I checked on Yelp and by our referral and nobody could do it. We are one old key away from a giant paperweight! Fortunately I found another key but still... anyway, call Steve if you need auto keys. Nobody tried harder. read more

Auto Key SD - One key away from stopping a great van - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - San Diego, California

Somehow lost my ONLY key to my 2008 mini-cooper on a Friday night!! Steve was the cheapest & even came out the next day on Saturday! Everyone else quotes 450-500$ & Monday would be the soonest... ugh! Steve arrived on time & this key was a "difficult" key to copy which took him 6 hours. Longer than he expected, I am sure. I know, it's difficult because when I replaced it last time from the dealer & I HAD a copy, it cost me $250!! Highly recommend & such a life saver! Even called me a week after to make sure, it still worked & I had no problems. If you can get on his schedule! Use this company!! And thank you!! read more
