This is my 2nd time using Budget Mobile Locksmith. Tim Otero was just as professional and courtesy as when I first used his service several years ago. He was prompt and explained what he would be doing as he re-keyed each of my 9 locks today. He quoted me a price for the 9 locks when I made the appointment last week and once he came out and saw that there were actually 3 additional locks that he'd have to re-key (double sided deadbolt), he still honored the original price he quoted. I was appreciative of that even though it was my error for counting the physical number of locks but not the physical number of keyholes involved. I'd highly recommend this business, the service is impeccable and super professional. read more
