I have used Tommy's now 3 times. He did an amazing job on our patio door (he fabricated a part in…read morehis van!) and he made me a new Camry key. Then he helped me out at my ex's house by installing an additional deadbolt and reinforcing the plate for the existing deadbolt. This man is amazing. First of all, he has stayed in business now for years and you don't do that unless you are darned good at what you do. He is very reliable and communicative. I will never use anyone else so I really hope he doesn't win the lottery anytime soon. He itemizes and estimates well and clearly. It only cost me 230 for the deadbolt and callout and 3 additional keys. Perfection. Also he tests many times including having ME test. Talk about thorough!! Trust me, you want Tommy!

Not only did he only take about 30 minutes to get keys with fobs made he also made me a lockout key to go with it. He was quick and price was far under what others quoted me. If I have another issue I know who to come to and can guarantee it'll be good. Thank you again my guy!

I'm so happy to write this five-star review for Anthony Byers…read more I've been wanting to improve the lighting and other security features of our Oakland home for some time and finally realized, I need some help to get it right! Anthony came by and went through our entire house, inside and out, looking for "soft spots" and recommending ways to harden our home to would-be criminals. Anthony isn't selling anything, and his rate is very reasonable. He cares about your budget and knows ways to get the job done without shelling out a lot of money. He is clearly an expert, with many anecdotes to share and lots of ideas. He's also a super nice guy! We've already started implementing his suggestions and are excited to reinforce our peace of mind. Don't be scared! Be prepared! (I just made that up. :-) )

I have a claim with CSAA. Their insured is Eduardo Alfredo Guzman who rear ended me & totaled my…read morecar. The CSAA reps Jean Garcia, Janet Jimenez & Danielle Santos are worse than useless. They are giving preference to a scammer that their client didn't even hit directly. They are giving me the runaround and will not settle with me - the one who was hurt & Guzman totaled my car. Guzman & the scammer were conspiring at the scene of the accident to make a fake claim of injury. My own insurance company got rid of 2 different scammers that tried to say they were hit & injured but weren't. I am beyond angry and tired of these CSAA idiots. The scammer didn't even show proof of financial responsibility & got a ticket for that. Yet CSAA is not doing anything about my claim & will not assign an adjuster or call me back & keep me updated.

Ten years since I wrote my last review and 11 years since I first saw Amanda as a client. In those…read more11+ years I have gone back to school to get my degree, changed careers, gotten laid off twice (once during 2020), found work again in less than two months, and always found something higher-paying and with a better commute every time, as if the layoffs were a hidden gift. I have also nearly tripled my salary since I first saw Amanda and am much more satisfied with my line of work. I am also grateful to have found a new job in my field with a company that is hiring since I'm in a field in which the layoffs are higher right now. If I had never been a client of hers, I expect that I would be still be in a job that I didn't care about, making about half of what I make now, and working it only for the paycheck.
