Master Locksmith-Santa Barbara has exceeded my expectations. I could not believe that my friend and I somehow lost the only key she had for her car...We were in Santa Barbara and me, being the Yelp addict that I am...I did what any self-respecting Yelper would do, and that is to YELP! I do not know where we left the key...all I know is when we were ready to leave, we did not have the key. Who knows what store or restaurant we may have left it in...Since we were at a mall in Santa Barbara and we were all over the place...I cannot begin to explain to you the sinking feeling you have inside when you aren't able to leave when you need to leave somewhere...it's very unsettling. All of those feelings went away after I YELPED keys and locksmiths... I sent out a quote to a few different businesses and was very surprised at the results...I was contacted via email from Daniel from Master Locksmith Santa Barbara. I thought that I may have used the services of his company before when I looked at the photos of the Master Locksmith Santa Barbara...it appeared that the same logos were in the photos. Turns out that I was correct in my thinking. I am all about using the same people/businesses that I have had success with. ALWAYS. Spreading the love is what I do when I have worked with someone before. When a company you have used has worked out good for you before...so that was cool. Daniel answered my email right away, he had a window of time to get to us that totally worked. So, I asked him to call me for a quote and it was extremely reasonable, ($325), I had reached out to other companies and they were they best price and able to be there the soonest. So...I went with Master Locksmith Santa Barbara. And boy, was I glad I did!!! When Daniel arrived, his experience showed, because he very easily opened the car door and made a key and programmed it to our vehicle. Then he made an emergency key that goes inside the key fob. I could not ask for more from a locksmith. Daniel's quick response was so appreciated. Like I said before, you have no idea of how upsetting it is to not know how you are going to get home or get to where you need to go next. Because of Daniel's quick response, we were able to get to our friend's birthday party that we were supposed to go to, on time. Thank you Daniel, you ROCK!!! Master Locksmith Santa Barbara gets 5 stars, because of their quick response, the quality of their work, and how fast they are. They employ amazing employees, and are dedicated and committed to providing the best service possible to those in need when there is an emergency, even if it isn't and when it might be... I have no words to describe how it feels to have our needs responded to and taken care of so quickly....I highly recommend using Master Locksmith Santa Barbara if you ever need any kind of locksmith for car, home, or other needs...Daniel was fantastic. I felt safe and felt confident in his abilities to handle our needs. I am positive that he can take care of anything you need done. In the event that you need any of his services, I highly recommend! read more

Kept me waiting 2 hours. No contact. Put my faith into the wrong locksmith to help a stranded woman in a parking lot. Completely unacceptable. Additionally phone # didn't work after I called in ! Unbelievable, can't even contact them to cancel the possible service they suggested they could provide read more

Master locksmith sent Employee Barr, who claimed to be the owner. Or arrive to my building and said that he would assess the issue and let me know the cost before he would perform any work. Once he "discovered" what was wrong, he proceeded to give me an outrageous quote. $600 for mortise cylinder and $900 to fix springs on my emergency push bar for my door. I told him that I would need to get approval from my owner and to not start any work. Fortunately, we did not agree to the price and I explained to Barr that we would not be continuing service. Then bar try to negotiate a the price down and ended up saying that we didn't need the parts to fix it and that he could do it for cheaper. At that point, I knew that he was a crook, and was trying to take it advantage of our business. I told him to put everything back as it was and that we would not be needing his service. Barr, then said he will remove the damaged part and leave the door without a keyhole, then he demanded a payment of $129 through Zelle or Venmo. He said he would leave the door damaged unless we made a payment. also, that he owned seven different locksmith locations, and that he would make sure that no one would help us unless we made a payment. He was extremely unprofessional, threatening, and in the end damage to our door, even more. I recommend to use a different provider for locksmith services. read more

Quick to respond and assign a technician. He said 44 minutes then another 30 minutes then he called us and said he was at our address but didn't see us. He was in CARPINTERIA! Another 20 minutes to meet us and follow us to the house. We had lost phone power waiting for him and had to go to a store to charge it. He struggled but finally picked the lock. Cost was $244. We were never told about "emergency" charges. We thought it would be around $125. We got in only to find out the lock was now broken and the key would no longer work in that lock! It was not a good experience. Everything that could have gone wrong....did. read more

I am COMPLETELY blown away by the services of this locksmith. They were nice and responded very quickly to when I called Master Lockmsith Santa Barbara yesterday to help me replace one of my sisters locks. It's a new house then we didn't know what lock she needed and how secure our locks need to be in this area because we are oh so new to this neighborhood. So I called him last night and I spoke with David over the phone and he gave me all of the information I needed to know about the locks and we scheduled an appointment for TODAY at 11. Soon later, David showed up with big smile and replace 2 locks less then 30 min and give us great service and the service I have never recieved from anyone else. It's very nice to have someone you can trust to change your locks. Thank you very much Master Locksmith! You are the best and I will be recommending you to ALL of my friends!! read more

Ok well where do I start ? As you can see I am giving Master Locksmith's a five star review. I just bought a used car that did not come with the lock/ unlock key/ remote I had first went to Lowe's to get a key made,they were unable to make the key that I need. They recommended Plaza Locksmith in Ventura. So I went ahead and called the place up not only were they all the way in Ventura when I lived in Oxnard but they quoted me at $220 out the door I know right. I decided to look on yelp and I found Masters Locksmith , and it just so happened to be a street away from where I live. I called Master Locksmith and got a quote at $160 He said it would take a couple of days and despite it being a holiday I was able to get my key remote for my car today. It works fine the gentleman that work there are like the reviews say very professional friendly and accommodating Great job Master Locksmith!! I will definitely return as a customer in the future!! I UPDATE ON MY KEY REMOTE FROM MASTER LOCKSMITH EXCELLENT WITH NO PROBLEMS AT ALL THANKS GUYS !! read more

This is a long overdue review. Me & my husband we're on the way to Pismo Beach. We had stopped to grab food & had left the keys in the car. Our quick bite to eat turned out to be an hour. It was midday & needed someone to unlock the car. Looking through yelp I found this locksmith that answered the phone right away! What a lifesaver! We were so happy Reuben came right away. He was very pleasant & was able to open the car right away. Prices are reasonable, I would highly recommend. read more

By far the quickest and nicest company I've done business with. I locked my keys in my car on my way home.. I called and spoke with Daniel, he was really quick about everything gave me my quote so he can send someone to me ASAP. He said it would be about 30 minutes but David got there faster. I waited about 20 minutes max maybe. He got me in my car within minutes. I really thought I was gonna be waiting hours outside because I tend to leave my keys in my car lol but thanks to them I was back home within the hour. I'll forsure be recommending them to all my friends and family. Thank you !! read more

Maybe because it was easter weekend but seriously who stops replying as you're inquiring for specifics? I get my initial message said 2012 and we later clarified 2009 for the vehicle year but numerous messages and several phone calls later guy just stops replying as to what the price is if he has it in stock everything but let's us keep on believing he might be able to help. Just... I dont know say you can't do it? Instead of wasting hours. read more

Keys to my office door were misplaced and I needed to get in. Rubin was awesome and made the process super simple. They came in the evening after I finished work which was super helpful for me. Hopefully I won't need to use them again soon but if you need a great locksmith then choose master locksmith and ask for Rubin. read more
