In Spanish, there's an expression that says "que te cayó como anillo al dedo." This literally…read moretranslates to "[it] fell like a ring to the finger," and idiomatically it means that "it came at the perfect time." That right there is how I feel about Jim. I'll explain.
I had bought a property in December, and in January, I found myself repairing the house. As I was reviewing what needed repairs, I found out that I did not have a mailbox key. I called my realtor and she had no luck contacting the seller's realtor, so she suggested I go to the post office. I did just that and they told me to hire a locksmith.
At any rate, in all this, my realtor recommended a locksmith to me, but they happened to be closed that day. If you know me, then you know I have no patience and that I want things done ASAP. Also, I hate leaving for tomorrow what can be done today. And well, the issue in all this is this happened on a day that some people have off as a holiday: Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
So, here I was on a day I had off, hoping and praying to find someone open, so I could cross this off my to-do list and feel productive and I Googled and Yelped and found Jim. Jim was extremely responsive, reasonably priced, and he changed the lock on that mailbox so quickly that it left me speechless.
His professionalism is unparalleled and I'm not the only one that noticed. Neighbors were already getting his card as they also have mailbox key issues, and here we are, months later, and I'm hoping they hired him. As for me, if I had not had someone else do my house keys, I'd have hired him. Apparently aside from those, and mailbox keys, he does car keys, and I had hoped to hire him to make a copy of my car key, as I only had one, but alas... I wound up getting a new car instead.
Still, anything key-related, Jim is your go-to. Also, he speaks a bit of español, so that's a win in my book. This isn't Miami where I was born and raised, so finding someone who appreciates my background always brightens up my day.
