I needed a replacement key fob for my new Toyota, and I definitely did not want to go to a dealer because of past experiences. Eric went to the trouble of researching and swiftly finding the rare key fob from a distant state. It can be really difficult to make a key fob work correctly for sensor-filled cars. Eric was able to make it all work. Before Gray Duck, I had talked to a couple of other locksmiths, and they were not equipped to make a replacement key for this Toyota. So if you're having a key issue, forget the other locksmiths and go straight to Gray Duck.

The pricing is reasonable and because they can service specialty keys that other shops can't, I consider them an essential business. Please consider A-1 Locks when needing specialty keys made.

Its Google and Yelp reviews are great and when I called them they answered all of my questions. The tech who came to rekey broke the lock during the process. He quickly told me I need a new one, there was nothing he could do and installed one he brought with him. I was put on the spot with not a lot of options, my new tenant was there and we had to get this repaired. (I was charged $65 for the lock and $65 for the labor....). Upon completion my tenant and I tried the new locks. When attempted to use the one on the front door (the one that was replaced due to being broken by the employee) we noticed the door did not operate with the same ease it had previously, with the original lock. When we brought this to the employee's attention, showed him how we had to jiggle and manipulate the door, he blamed it on age, weather, warping....etc. I did not buy this. When replacing a lock it should fit exactly how it was before, I have had this done many times before and this has never occurred. I then asked him if there was going to be a discount for these services since HE broke the lock. He said no, he was just a tech and I had to speak to a boss. I paid him and he left. When I called, I was of course given a runaround, I spoke to a manager who then told me I had to speak to the owner. The owner said he would personally come out and look at the door, saying what his employee said didnt sound right and everything should work the way it did. Then I asked about reimbursement for the damaged lock, the replacement of it the extra labor charge....he said he will not be refunding anything. When I pressed, he said fine he would refund the cost of the lock ($65) but then would not come out to verify their work AND this would now void the 1 year warranty on the actual lock, which is NEW and installed by them. After thinking about this offer and how extremely rude and offensive it was, I accepted. An extra $130 because of THEIR mistake is shocking and disgraceful. The AUDACITY of a company who has been in business for so many decades to pull a warranty on a product they forced me to install is outrageous. So inappropriate and an abuse of power. I am completely disappointed in their lack of customer service and empathy.

Haji's Locksmith

After…read morecalling several locksmiths around the Twin Cities, none of them wanted to work on the vehicle because of the complexity of Audi's RFID anti-theft system. The dealership quoted me over $1,000 and said the process would take three days. I came across Haji's Locksmith, which was conveniently located near my office, and decided to give them a call. Mohamed returned my call within just a few minutes and listened carefully as I explained my situation. Without hesitation, he told me he could handle the job as long as I had a working master key and he could order the correct key fob matched to my vehicle's VIN. I was initially skeptical because his price was significantly lower than the dealership's. I had done extensive research and understood the complexity involved in adding and programming an additional key for an Audi Q5, especially one that needed to work with the factory remote starter. I decided to give him a chance, and Mohamed proved that both he and his company are among the best in the Twin Cities. During the process, he encountered a minor issue with the BCM because there was an additional key assigned to the vehicle that was apparently hidden somewhere in the car. As a result, my vehicle had to stay overnight at his shop. Throughout the entire process, communication was punctual, accurate, and transparent. Even when the unexpected issue arose, Mohamed made me feel confident in both the service and the quality of his workmanship. He went above and beyond by even offering me a rental car for the day. And everithing that he touched or added was 100% guaranteed. In the end, I'm very glad I trusted Haji's Locksmith and Mohamed. All of the keys work flawlessly and consistently. I would definitely recommend Haji's Locksmith to anyone needing key programming or locksmith services for high-end European vehicles.
