Leon is an absolute professional. My only Maserati key got stolen and everyone I called gave up and could not help me make a duplicate key. He used his expertise to make a working key and have the immobilizer system work with it. His rates were beyond fair. I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you again for performing a miracle. read more

They weren't able to help me directly, but they pointed me in the right direction. I respect their straightforwardness and honesty.

Leon at Automotive Key Doc is great. I shopped around and he had the best price for programming and cutting keys for my car. He came out to my work during lunch to do the job. He was on time. The replacement FOBs I had bought a year ago had bad batteries that were dead, so Leon replaced them and got the job done with plenty of time for me to grab a sandwich during my lunch hour. Leon responded promptly to my Yelp quote request, arranged to do the job during the first time slot I had open and had the best price out of six people I contacted. You should definitely use him if you need a FOB for your car programmed and cut. read more

Leon, was awesome. Came out, at a difficult time, and saved the day. I needed, the ignition and door lock changed. He needed a different part for the door, because of the age of the car. His prices were already lower than the rest, but because he had to make to trips he heavily discounted the entire job. This is how you do business, this is how you have a repeat customers. Your the man Leon!!!!!' read more

All the positive reviews are true. This guy earned his solid 5 star Yelp rating. I lost all keys to my motorcycle, called locksmiths closest to me only to hear a fast and firm "no, we can't do it". When I called Leon, it was like talking to Liam Neeson in the movie Taken "what type of vehicle?....it can be done, let me know when" He made the house call and 20 minutes later I have two keys to my moto. This is a solid business that will stay in my contacts list. read more

Automotive Key Doc - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me

20 minutes. That's how long it took him to inspect the car and create a new car key. Leon arrived 6 minutes early and was fast and efficient. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND! My boyfriend lost his Nissan Sentra 2004 car key and after calling a ton of other car locksmiths, we found that Leon's prices were the best. He charged us $160 flat, while other places were asking for $200+, some not including other random fees. Leon was understanding when I told him I was comparing prices the previous day. I called today and he said he was available an hour later! Leon is a super chill guy who gets the job done the day you call. He'll also give you the exact cost over the phone! Amazing! Will be recommending to others in the future. read more

I honestly can't speak highly enough of Leon and his business. If you're in any need of making new car keys or making a spare here are the reasons why you should go through Automotive Key Doc: + Incredibly responsive with a quick turnover. I had my backpack (with my keys) stolen on Saturday. I messaged him through Yelp on Sunday to reprogram my spare and to make me a new spare. By Tuesday it was done -- whereas most other businesses hadn't even replied. + Reasonable/competitive prices. For me to get the same job done at the dealer it would have cost me ~$600. Leon charged me $250. Easy decision. + Fast work and flexible locations. Entire process took ~25 minutes. He was flexible to meet me wherever made sense for both of us which made the entire process easier. + Super chill dude. 10/10 recommend. Thanks again Leon. read more

Great service from Leonid. Service was fast and efficient. Quality work too. I was pleased with the new keys.

Great service! I asked for a quote on Yelp and he got back to me right away with a reasonable price. When I called, he told me right off the bat that he might not make it the same day as he had other jobs. He called back later and said he couldn't do it, but didn't leave me hanging all day waiting for his call. Rescheduling was easy, he showed up right when he said he would, and got two keys cut and programmed very quickly. No hassles at all and he did a great job! read more

Leon is your guy for automotive keys! Not only does he come to you but he's flexible, fast and reliable. I called Land Rover dealer about having a replacement key made and they wanted to charge over $1000.00!! My BMW at the dealer would've cost me $650! You can't beat Leon's prices (more than a 50% savings!) and his convenience. He doesn't rip you off, he's timely and he's friendly. Ended up having him make me a key for each of my Turo cars (Land Rover, BMW, Audi). I would highly recommend Leon to anyone needing a replacement key, you won't be disappointed. Guaranteed! read more

I called them to book an appointment and they got back to me very fast (under 20 minutes). We scheduled an appointment and they got my two brand new key fobs. DONT REPLACE KEY FOBS AT A DEALERSHIP, IT'll cost you 2-3x the price of what Automotive key doc charges. They finished in under 20 minutes as well! Best Service and they truly care for their customers! They even drive to your location to do the service for you. read more

Automotive Key Doc - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me

Automotive Key Doc was one of the first locksmiths to respond to my Yelp Quote Request and, more importantly, was also the most affordably priced. In hindsight, I shouldn't have even bothered wasting my time waiting on other quotes -- Leon and his apprentice were that good! I appreciated that the guys were on time, since of course I was already highly anxious; and the icing on the cake was that they were really down to earth. When I first requested the quote, I cited that I am a broke, unemployed student (all of which are entirely true), who just happens to drive a bougie car! Leon joked about this with me. I did not feel judged and it was nice to have the entire process completed in less than 20 minutes from start to finish. Thanks for saving the day, guys. You turned my frown upside-down. read more

Losing a car key can be stressful, sometimes painful. Especially if it's your only key. Enter Automotive Key Doc. Truly excellent customer service, and expert workmanship. It doesn't get better than this. After losing the key (and freaking out), Leon did a home visit to help us out. His communication was top notch--he was running a bit late due to an earlier job, and called to let me know. He was super clear with price and timing, which I really appreciated. But really, this man knows his stuff. He did a great job making a new key fob, programming it, and then ensuring it worked properly. This was all done very fast. Throughout it all, he was extremely professional. Highly, highly recommended. read more

Jan 2022 I had a simple "need spare key fob"for my BMW job. Leon gave me the best quote online via Yelp compared to two another highly rated mobile key person and a fraction of dealer price. I explained not a rush and we arranged a time to meet at my office late in the afternoon. That afternoon he texted to let me know that he had two emergency calls and asked if we could do the next day. Fine by me and good to know he prioritizes stranded motorists. April 2022 my good friend is that stranded motorist since her last solo key for her Toyota was lost. Leon came to her remote Santa Cruz Mountains location on a Saturday and made two new key fobs within hours of her call. Leon provides "Just Like, WOW" service hard to find these days. read more

I could not have asked for a better experience with Automotive Key Doc. After trying and failing to seek help from a local dealership and auto body shop, I frantically called about my Hyundai's locked steering wheel. Leon was prompt, transparent with cost, and patiently answered all my questions about the issue. He had to troubleshoot for a while but was diligent and communicative about what needed to be done. Thank you SO much for all the help! read more

Highly Recommend! Great value and service! I compared various auto key smiths in the area and Key Doc is by FAR the fairest of them all. Quick service and very responsive. Will definitely be back for my auto key needs. read more

BRAHHHHHHHHH... I guess I am getting too old. Over here losing car keys like its the thing to do, SMH. Then forcing my little ones to work, searching for keys they had no part in losing, SMH. Then forgetting to tie the draw strings for my shorts, knowing my wallet has no cash but maxed out CCs and regrets, and the weight of that pulling my pants nearly to the ground like R Kelly at a high school gradu-..ahhhh SMH. But at least the capeless heros are working Sundays, ready to rescue a brotha from parking in a red zone and that $250+ ticket + tow that comes with (SHEESH!). My man Leon came in CLUTCH like those quarters you find in your pants pocket when its time to do laundry. Called him up, 3 min convo, bro came in the next 25, fitted me for a new key, and voila! Sienna is back on the prowl, rawr...LOL. Quick, easy, affordable, and there in my lonely hour. Ooh he know what I like! Good eat-...oh, this aint for food...well Good Keying! lol read more

Needed a key programmed. Contacted Leon, and he responded immediately. Rates were not only better than the dealership, but better than other automotive locksmiths as well. Came to my work and programmed the key, then cut the spare key for no additional cost. Would definitely recommend to anyone who needs a key programmed. read more

Great service. Leon quoted me a price that was vastly better than other locksmithing services in the area. He showed up on time after only a couple hours notice. He duplicated my damaged car key on two blanks I provided and even gave me an extra spare key for free! The keys all worked great. I highly recommend Leon's service. I will definitely be using his service the next time I need a locksmith. read more

Automotive Key Doc - Duplicated keys, bottom key is the one that was damaged. - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me

I highly recommend. Quickly responded as advertised and was very responsive. Although we did not have an emergency, Leon was able to service our issue the same day. He is a very professional, nice young man and I do recommend his services. I did purchase the wrong key and he helped me understand and explain which fob remote key I did need to purchase. He even offered to have me meet him at his place to get the correct key programmed when I do purchase the right remote key. He is mobile and very knowledgable! Thank you Leon! read more

Leon thank you for quick service! Leon tested everything before leaving. Door lock, remote working and my car battery was also down and he helped it as well. He made the key in under 15 minutes and gave a one year warrantee on electronics just in case it gives me trouble. Highly recommended if you need a locksmith for your car. Although I don't wanna get another locksmith service but if I do then Leon I'm calling you again my friend. read more

I have a rather rare car; an old Aston Martin, that had a broken remote. I could not unlock/lock the car without the car alarm going off. I called Automotive Key Doc, and the owner Leon picked up upon first dial attempt. Leon was very sympathetic to my issue at hand, and was willing to squeeze me in for a free diagnosis. I can't say enough about how amazing this is to find in this day and age. Most businesses will find every opportunity to nickel and dime you. But Leon was extremely nice and patient with fixing my key remote. It turns out that a tiny resistor on the remote's circuit board was popped out of place. Leon had to re-solder it for me. What a life saver! Highly recommended! He normally does a mobile service and comes to you. But I was desperate to fix my remote, so I arranged to meet up with him locally. Super nice guy! read more

Very, very impressed with how timely these guys conducted business. I had one key for my vehicle that was misplaced. service was done same day for the price agreed upon. This team is quick and efficient to get the job done. I had a key fob purchased that they were able to reprogram within 45 min since my vehicle had some additional complicated steps. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a key expert. read more

Needed a second key for a used vehicle that only came with one. He came the same day and made a second key and programmed it to work with the vehicle. Came to our location, so very painless. Also accepted venmo which was convenient. read more
