    SCAM! SCAM! SCAM! Called these guys today because the reviews were strong. My 78 old dad needed a locksmith to help us unlock and rekey my brothers car as he is currently in the hospital. We are all as a family scrambing to work on my brothers affairs while praying he gets better. We were so glad that this gentlemen agreed to come out today and rekey the car for a TOTAL flat rate of $295 (for the key programing and trip) which was reasonable and on par with other locksmiths. I arranged this from long distance and the locksmith named "Saigh Halamet', not a guy named Josh who claimed to be the owner arrived and rekeyed the car with no issues. He then proceeded to lie to my dad that they charge an additional $85 for a trip charge and an extra $75 for programming the key, so a total of $160 on top of the $295 originally quoted. My dad who is older did not want to argue and just agreed to pay it. I called this gentleman asking why he would charge so much for a trip charge that other competitors were including but more importantly, why would he not disclose this in the beggining? He simply said "we charge for travel". As I then started questioning him on this and the programming fee he simply hung up on me. Attached is his card. Shame on him for taking advantage of a senior citizen and not disclosing his additonal fees. Even more suspect is that his card (See attached) mentions a completely different company name ' Cedar Park' Lock and Key. Anyhow, use at your own discretion. We will be disputing this with Amex. Hope he loses the ability to take this form of payment in the future.

    Joshua's mobile locksmith business.

    See all

    Recently used Mr Rekey to perform service on same residence several years later (rekey 7 doors, 9…read morelocks). Wow. The franchise has grown. The first time it was the owner operator and that was it. He is now retiring and has a massive crew. No worries. Fast and simple scheduling. Able to come within a week. Arrived on time. Courteous and incredibly fast service. Price increased ever so slightly, but after over a decade I would have expected it to be a lot more. Bravo! HIGHLY RECOMMEND

    Mr ReKey is a HORRIBLE company and I will never use their services again. Ever since they became…read morecorporate owned they seem to have zero sensibility (and frankly humanity). I used this company for a few different re-keys and and security measures as required in Austin for rental properties. I have been a customer for almost twenty years (seriously, twenty years). In all fairness I have gone through the leasing company but I have paid every invoice directly to Mr ReKey. I recently locked myself out of my house. So of course, being a long time client of Mr ReKey, I called them for assistance. They insisted I provide a credit card number or they couldn't (and wouldn't) help me. I explained that all of that was inside the house but noted that they have me on file - which he confirmed. So in my hour of desperation they failed me. Remember, almost twenty years and they have my address and telephone number on file ... okay then, can you please recommend another company that might be able to help me. NOPE, "we don't do that". Of course I turned to the internet and found an amazing locally owned company who actually still offers real and decent customer service. I encourage you to do the same. You'll actually get better customer service and some humanity, something that Mr ReKey no longer can provide. **Please note, I really dislike and rarely write negative reviews. But when a company is so egregiously gross I will. And here you have it.**

    Lifesavers! Highly Recommend Carter's Locksmith…read more I rarely write reviews, but Carter's Locksmith truly deserves it. I got locked out of my house late one evening and was honestly panicking. I found them on Yelp, gave them a call, and they were at my place in less than 30 minutes--super fast! Elijah the locksmith was professional, friendly, and clearly knew what he was doing. He had me back inside in minutes without damaging the lock or door. He even gave me a few helpful tips on how to prevent future lockouts and improve my home's security (without upselling anything unnecessary, which I really appreciated). Pricing was very reasonable, especially for an after-hours call. No hidden fees, no surprises--just honest, reliable service. If you're looking for a dependable locksmith who shows up when they say they will and treats you with respect, Carter's Locksmith is it. Bookmark them--you'll be glad you did!

    As a heavy Thumbtack user for years who gave only 5-star ratings in the past, hiring Carter's is by…read morefar the worst decision I've ever made and I am regretting so much, because they are so unethical by 1) lying about things, 2) trying their best to charge me more than necessary, and to make things way worse 3) complaining to my tenant about me who has nothing to do with the service. Let me explain in details below. 1) Lying about things: they said the will do a free onsite estimate and share with me the cost before doing anything. They lied! They went ahead and did the work and asked me to pay them for the service without confirming with me in advance. 2) Trying their best to charge me more than necessary: honestly, with 1) above, I'd be fine if they do a decent job. Unfortunately, that was not the case. I was so confused when the technician told me that "hey, I have good news and bad news. Good news is I was able to fix it (so you need to pay me for the service), but bad news is the fix doesn't work because the lock is old and you will need to replace with a new lock, which is usually $120 by itself but I can charge you for another $65." What the heck??? If that's the case, why bother "repairing" it first? I followed up with their customer service (the lady), and she started by trying to explain that the reason for the temporary fix was because it takes a few days for the lock to arrive. This makes zero sense to me, and after telling her that I am a handyman and do things myself and this is just a regular sliding door with a regular lock that can be picked up from HomeDepot same day, she agreed that a new lock can be installed on the same day. I cannot think of any good intention here other than the conclusion that they are trying their best to charge customers more, especially for those who are not handy. 3) To make everything significantly worse, the technician complained to my tenant when I refused to hire them for the follow-up installation job. They first complained to my tenant for not willing to pay for the serivce, which was once again a lie. Even though I was pissed off when on the phone with them because of 1) and 2) above, I told them that I will pay them for the "repair" but just can't trust them to do anything beyond. I paid them a few minutes after them sending over the invoice. Funny enough, my tenant told me that she was told I am not willing to pay for the service. Even worse, even though my tenant was neither invovled in hiring the technician nor paying them, the technician followed up with my tenant complaining about me! What the heck??? This significantly damaged the trust between my tenant and me because she now feels I am being insane because of what she heard from the technician. I regret for not taking a close look at the actual reviews earlier, because I thought they got a 5 score then they must be good. But then when I was composing my review, I saw someone else mentioned exactly what I mentioned above in 2)! I urge you to think twice before hiring them for any project, even though their listed price may feel appealing to you.
