Auto Key SD - Reprogrammed and cut a car key for me - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - San Diego, California

Auto Key SD is a great company that helped me replicate my car key for an old Mercedes. Daniel was the guy that helped me out. He was very nice and friendly. He also helped put together part of my front seat that had nothing to do with fixing my key. Very reasonable price I also got a discount for the second key. I would've been charged double for two keys from Mercedes. read more

Great service. They came to me and had 2 new fobs made for me within 30 minutes, including cutting the emergency key. Both work flawlessly. Much cheaper than dealership and more reliable than trying to do it on your own. Full props. read more

Same day service, great price, in and out in 15-20 minutes. New keys work great! Thank you!!

When I went to start my car a few weeks ago, I was surprised when the key part broke off of the fob. Luckily I had a spare key, but didn't want to use that as my primary key. I collected a few quotes, Auto Key SD was very competitive and conveniently located. I stopped in and after only about 20 minutes, I had a newly programmed key fob that works perfectly, and was driving away! Highly recommended. read more

I chose Saif due to his competitive pricing and friendly phone demeanor. Sounds silly but call me sensitive. I like good customer service and he has it. My wallet and keys were stolen and I didn't have an extra set of keys to my name, but Saif was incredibly quick and patient with us (I was extremely nervous since it was my first time having to get a locksmith). He arrived, made the key, and was done in less than 20 minutes. We made sure to grab all his info because I will hands down go to him again! read more

It's hard to find someone who won't charge you 'an arm and a leg' for this kind of service. I got a great deal for TWO programmed key fobs for my Honda Accord!

I will be recommending him to friends and family for sure read more

I'm so impressed with Auto Key SD! I needed a replacement key for my Lexus NX300 and Saif truly went above and beyond.

He patiently answered all my questions, explained the whole process, and made sure I understood everything. Best of all, he charged me less than half of what the dealer wanted! It's rare to find such honest, reliable service these days. I couldn't be happier with my experience. Highly recommend Saif and Auto Key SD to anyone needing a car key replacement! read more

After giving Auto Key SD a call, he was able to come out within the hour and help us out. Nice guy and gave a good deal.

This man is honest and trustworthy. I so much appreciate your help! Thanks for being you!

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

Came same day we called like within a couple hours. We're so appreciative of that. He did a great job getting us a second key for our car that the shipper lost. He also did a full diagnostic at no extra charge which was so helpful especially when buying a used car. And all that at a great and super reasonable price. Would recommend to family and friends. Don't hesitate to call for any locksmith issues. Thank you!! Seriously it is so nice to get really good service these days we truly appreciate it. read more

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

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

Cut and programmed a key for a 2020 jeep grand Cherokee. Service was excellent great price.

Steve was quick to respond to my request for pricing for my 2003 Lexus. He quoted me a fair price, reviewed pictures of my busted key and assured me that he could take care of it AND was at my house in 22 minutes. His demeanor is professional and courteous. Steve set right to work and handed me 2 new keys in no time at all. The new FOBs he provided were a much appreciated upgrade from the original key. Thank you Steve. read more

Outstanding service and great quality work! He will be doing three other of my vehicles! Thanks again

Steve came out promptly, was fair and honest, and provided me with 2 proximity keys for my Chevy within hours. Highly recommend!

I left my keys in my locked car. I wrote a message asking for quotes from several locksmiths, including Auto Key SD. And within a minute Saif responded to my Yelp message. He asked for a price lower than others for his services and charged me exactly as much money as he originally asked. He responded to my call within 15 minutes and unlocked my car in just 3 minutes. He did everything very professionally and carefully to my car. I highly recommend this locksmith. If necessary, I will only turn to him! Thank you, Saif! read more
