I recently bought a used Toyota Prius because gas prices are going crazy around here! The car only came with one key fob and I wanted to have a spare made in case the original got lost. So I did a little searching online and found out that replacing a Prius key fob is expensive as hell! And it involves a locksmith who can cut the key and program the remote control to work with my specific vehicle. So I submitted a request on Yelp and got responses from several locksmiths including Continental locks. The price they quoted was about the lowest I received, around $200. And the locksmith was available to come out the same day so I went ahead and took a chance. Very glad I did! He worked very carefully for about 45 minutes or so and got a brand new key fob and spare door key cut that work perfectly in my vehicle. No more worrying about losing the original key fob! Highly recommend Continental locks and the locksmith was friendly and personable and responsive to text messages. read more

Truly Excellent communication and fast! Eran was on the ball and understood the job well, a real professional. He works late into the night, and we both agreed to come over at 10 PM. Very happy with Eran. read more

I had used Efran's services a couple of years ago and he was very efficient. This time I called him to replace two doorknobs in our house. He said he could be there within an hour and was. He asked for pictures of the existing knobs to be replaced. He communicated regularly by text and phone and got pre-approval for all work. This house has many doorknobs and he was able to match the key for the new door knobs with existing keys. He did the job quickly and expertly. He was friendly, but focused on the task at hand. Fran did everything I asked and sent me the very reasonable and fair bill via email. I was able to pay via Zelle or Venmo, which made it very easy. read more

Continental Locks - Door knob that needed replacing - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - San Diego, California

I was headed out for the evening and when I went to lock my front door I couldn't get the key to turn more than a quarter turn. Then to make matters worse, I couldn't get the key out of the lock. No matter what I did, it wouldn't budge. I was so scared that the key was going to break off that I started looking for a locksmith immediately. It was after 6 pm on a Saturday so I didn't have too many options. I called Continental and Eran answered on the third ring. He quoted me the price of $145. I had no idea how much the service cost but I was in a bind and needed someone now. The lock had been giving me problems for the past week or so. I was so afraid of not being able to get into my place that my peace of mind was well worth the cost. It took him about 30 minutes to arrive, less than 2 minutes to troubleshoot and begin work on the key. He was able to move the key with just a little bit of pressure. Did I feel stupid, yes. But I felt better when he said that the key was sticky. Hey even if he said that just to placate me, I am ok with that. Eran was able to make a new key for me in the back of his van. I was still able to use my old key. He lubricated the mechanisms and reassembled the lock. He was in and out within 25 minutes. Service was great. I would recommend him if you need a fast and professional locksmith. read more

Eran has helped me on two separate occasions both where I was locked out of my car. He was able to unlock the car within a few minutes and then program a new key given that I had lost the previous keys.

My car key remotes stopped working. Eran was very responsive and had great communications. He also has tons of professional diagnostic equipment and brand new replacement car keys/fobs.

Thanks Eran! read more

This was the only place that came to my home, was done in 30 minutes and gave me the rate over the phone, and didn't add on other charges. I appreciate honest work. It didn't matter if he was late, everyone else pretended they were busy all day. He was actually busy. He even let me know the process. Step by step. Very honest man. This means the most as a woman in a vulnerable position. I highly recommend to any independent woman who doesn't want to get taken advantage of. The other place I researched wanted to charge me over $100 for the same service. read more
