Needed a copy of my car key cut, I already had the blank. Was only 25 compared to 50 that others quoted me.

I called this place to replace my Lexus keys I was told $55 for after market which I was okay with. I then check out another shop Fredy's locksmith service off of florin rd and was told it would be $95. I asked is it OEM keys and was told it was OEM. Looked at the packaging and the key was made in China (not OEM). This place saved me an extra $40 and was honest about their work. Please do your research to avoid these scammer/dishonest shop. Definitely recommend these guys and planning to come back soon to get my other keys replaced. read more

They actually close at 5:30 or whenever the sun goes down. I got there 9mins pass 5:30 the guy still took me and and made a key for me super fast. The guy was super nice and Swt and didn't rip me off like this other place. read more

sold me a defective key. after 2 months the buttons stopped working....i replaced the battery and nothing. 2 1/2 months later the whole thing stopped working. i called him and he refused to make it right. he blamed my vehicle for the issue. this is a smart key, which wasn't cheap ($250), the key dropped 1 time on my wood floor from my sofa and the whole entire thing came apart. the plastic his keys are made of is no where near the quality of the first key i had, which dropped multiple times and never once fell apart in the 2 1/2 years i had it. his product is like 99cent store keys with a microchip. highly disappointed by his lack of customer service. He has great reviews and was recommended by a family member who actually owns a car shop and refers people to him often. read more

These guy's business card will definitely be staying in my wallet for any and all future lock Smith needs. So i lost my only ignition key for my acura rl 96. My spare key can open doors but doesn't have the immobilizer chip that allows the engine to start up. So i call around: 3 places don't answer the phone. 2 won't give me a quote until after i get my car towed to their shop. 2 quotes for about 4 hundred dollars. and my search ends with Lock & Switch. Leo is great. He answers the phone and given the make and model, offers to do it for $200 flat or $220 for 2. By far the cheapest offer yet. It gets better. He offers to come out immediately to where my car is so no need for towing. He shows up promptly, and with his mobile workshop quickly gets things taken care of. Plugs into my car, programs two keys, and cuts the keys. Done in 30min, $220 even as he quoted me. What a deal! The situation was far less stressful than I was expecting. Thanks to Leo who was very nice and professional. Please try these guys as a first option, believe me, the prices only seem too good to be true read more

Leo service was exceptional! I recommended him for all your key services. I lost my keys and looked for them every where but no luck. Called other locksmith and came across Leo, his was the best price compare to others. He even came to where my car was. He was honest about what he was going to charge me. He quoted me $130 but found out he didn't need to make another key instead he reprogrammed my old master key to work and charged $100. So now my old master key works and the key I lost wont work anymore if it were to be found. Leo knows what he was doing he even arrived earlier then what he said and was in and out within 10 minutes. Thank you Leo Fast service, excellent customer service read more

This is a place to go if you need a replacement on your car keys or if you have a jammed lock. I yelped auto locksmith and to my surprise this popped up. At first, I was a little sketched out because it was a small little shack. Leo the guy who helped me out was a sweetheart. He fixed my jammed Lock in no time! Leo is well experienced he's been fixing locks for about 9 years. This place only takes cash so be prepared. I would recommend this place to my friends/family. read more

I called around to clone a car key for a 2018 Tacoma H key. A friend recommended Mauricio. When I called couldn't believe the price. Came and he was able to program the key to the car in five minutes. Price was actually lower and the service was awesome! Customer for life, they deserve 10 stars! read more

This is a GREAT company- a lifesaver! I had my other car broken into and the only key I have for my lexus was stolen. I called the Lexus dealership and was quoted a ridiculous price and was told that it would be "impossible" to start my car without replacing the engine computer ($1000 for the part.) They also wanted me to have my car towed into the dealership. I called a few other locksmiths to see if they would be able to rekey my car- a few said they couldn't do it because the car was high security, a few said they could but Leo quoted me the best price. He came to my house the next morning and I now have 2 keys that start my vehicle, at the best price I found from calling several locksmiths. It took him about 15 minutes. I would highly recommend this company! read more

I needed a key for a 1981 BMW and called several places, all of which said they could not do it and referred me to the dealer. One of which referred me to Leo at Lock N Switch. So glad he did because Leo was able to do the job and in less than 30 minutes for $100!!! Thank you!!! read more

I called Lock N Switch after my husband had been trying to get a locksmith out to fit an ignition key that was lost in a move for his 1960 Tbird. He had called multiple people, yet I turned to yelp, and the first one I call says they will be here in 45 minutes or less. He was there in 20 minutes, if that. The key was done in lightning speed. Quoted $65 on the phone and charged $60, even better. Awesome. read more

I cannot believe the good reviews. I called and he said he could come help me with my ignition key problem. He said to text him my address and he would call me shortly to tell me he was on his way. I texted him my address, got the confirmation that it did go through. I waited and waited so after an hour and a half I called him. He said he did not get a text. I told him that was odd since I have the confirmation it went through. Uh well I didn't get no text and its getting late so tomorrow morning at 9:30. At 9am I had an emergency so I called him at 11am, he did not even say hello JUST A VERY RUDE I SAID 9;30 IT'S TO LATE NOW. I am so sick of people like this who lie and do not do what they claim stay away from him read more

Best locksmith ever. Cut my Homda's new key. Fair price. It would cost me 400 dollars if i did that at a dealer.

Lock N Switch - For an older mercedes. Guy said if it didn't work to bring the car in. Thanks - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - Sacramento, California

Leo told me $20 to make key on the phone when I bring in the cylinder to shop. I drove there, waiting long time to make key, then I'm told it is $35. Fck time wasting rippoff. read more

fast, neat, profesional, Leo makes the situation far less stressful. I would recommend him..

So... I found "Lock N Switch" on yelp. Read the reviews and checked the reviewer's history of past reviews on "other" encounters to get a grasp on the person who is commenting, making sure it's not in any way lenient or bias. "Lock N Switch" have GREAT reviews and the prices are unbeatable... It's an owner operator setup so the overhead is low and he can pass the savings to us, the consumers. I can't say much about service... there is just a limited amount of ways you can copy a key... unless you're strip teasing while programming a key, I think the customer service is comfortably pleasant... in-and-out. Leo is really cool. He was out on a job and I needed him to help me with my key and he somehow set aside some time to help me out. Leo got it RIGHT.... Good service, affordable prices, convenience, speed, and no-bullsh*t customer service... he stand by his work. I would recommend to friends a family.... read more

This place has great customer service and saved me a lot of money. I had a new car that need keyless remotes and I was able to get two of them for half of what dealer wanted for one. I had a problem with one of them 6 months later and they discounted a new one for me, even though they only have a 30 day warranty. All said and done I still saved money and would highly recommend this place! read more

the keys to my brothers car was lost a week ago. During the week I used Google to find a locksmith no quotes less than 160. My brother found this company first, he was much cheaper at 70 but, he was also fast fast fast. I gave him my license and walked towards to get my dog. By the time I got to the door I heard the engine turn over. I came and grabbed 80 and told him keep the change for doing it so fast. He said I'm gonna make another key. His name is Leo and, the entire time he was here he made sure to use my name. I appreciate GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE !!! Awesome job Leo read more

I spoke with at least 6 locksmith company's in Elk Grove yesterday. I got quotes from 15.00 dollars to $80.00 for the trip charge as my car was stuck with the ignition jammed. The trip fee was just to diagnose the problem then tell me what it would really cost to repair. So I bit on 15.00 dollar trip fee and the company sent a guy out. He took a look at my keys, then described to me that they were sub standard. then went on to say that they had ruined the cylinder and that a repair would be $280.00. Wow I said that seems a little pricey! He went on to explain that the repair would require a tremendous amount of work. he then suggested he quickly make a new key to test as the ones I had were so bad. 2 minutes later he hands me a key to try. Not only does the key not turn the jammed ignition, it wont even open the front door of the car. He now senses I'm not buying his act, and begins to explain that he can get me on the road for $150.00 but could not guaranty the long term quality of the work as he would be taking shortcuts, as a solid repair should be about $280.00. I gave him his 15.00 trip fee and sent him packing. The next morning I get Leo on the phone from Lock N Switch. I explain the problem he quotes a price of $120.00 to replace the ignition Cylinder. He shows up polite, and professional and says he will be about 20 minutes. I kid you not! I here my car start in about 14 minutes, I couldn't believe it. In that time he had removed and replaced the defective cylinder and cut me 2 new keys. This guy is a no nonsense fairly priced pro! I highly recommend his service. He deserves every one of his 5 Star Ratings. Lloyd read more

Leo was incredibly helpful! He was able to get to my house within 2 hours and re-key my car (mind you with a transponder chip) in under 10 minutes! He also helped me re-program my key fob for free! The prices are reasonable and the service stellar. I have unfortunately dealt with going to the dealership before and they charge 50% more than Leo does. I recommend giving him a call before any one else in the Sacramento area. read more

Had the dealer make another key for me based on the VIN of my Yukon, found out the previous owner had rekeyed my vehicle. Thinking I had to replace all the locks in my vehicle, I searched on yelp and found Lock and Switch and gave him a call. Before I could finish my beer feeling defeated thinking it will cost me a lot to fix my lapse in memory, Leo arrives and within 20 minutes he has "felt" the lock, comes up with the proper code and wrote it down for me, and cuts me two new keys that work in all the locks. Great guy to talk to and will be earning my business again if I ever need him. read more
