The representative was punctual, kind and thorough. He identified what work needed to be done and got right to work. Best of all the price was very reasonable.

ARC Locksmith in Tacoma is one of those rare gems…read more First off, if you use the "get quote" button on Yelp, it will call EVERY Locksmith in town so be dang careful. Even so, ARC replied to me very first. From the moment I reached out, everything was on point. Artem got back to me right away, kept me updated, and showed up exactly when he said he would. Friendly. Not just polite in the "business sense," but genuinely kind and approachable. He treats you like a person, not just a job ticket. No hidden fees, no surprise charges. Everything was laid out before he even started. That kind of transparency builds enormous trust. He even gave me advice for my broken Chevy G20 van window. I like inside info about what techs are good for other services--especially if HE is this good. You can tell he knows locks inside and out. The job was done efficiently and correctly the first time. What impressed me most was the advice he gave me on how to avoid problems in the future and even ways to save money. Most people just do the job and leave--he actually cares enough to set you up for success long-term. He even gave me free advice on my front door knob (which wasn't the Pathfinder with the FOB key problem I originally called him for). Great communication too. He explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, so I felt confident about what was being done. The whole experience left me impressed--not only did my problem get solved quickly, but I also walked away knowing I had a trustworthy locksmith I can rely on for years to come. In a world where it's hard to find businesses that are professional, honest, and genuinely care about their customers, ARC Locksmith stands out in a big way. If you live in Tacoma (or in the PugetSound area, I'm in Auburn) and ever need a locksmith, do yourself a favor: call ARC Locksmith first. This is the kind of American small business that deserves all the recognition and support. This is my go-to locksmith from here on out. I also gave him a phatty tip for just being cool and saving me an hour of wait around and find out time. Many Thank you's Artem!

While he was there we got to talking about motorcycles, and I happen to mention I've been having a hard time finding a locksmith to cut my replacement Ducati keys. Brian whipped out this little toaster sized​ device and easily cut my new blank key without needing any sort of reference numbers from the factory or anything. Additionally, his machine was able to repair a key that had previously been incorrectly cut by another local locksmith. This company gets my highest recommendation, and I've been spreading the word to anyone who needs a locksmith. If I could rate 10 out of 5 stars, I would! ​

When my daughter told me the quote, $29 sounded too good to be true. I asked her to call back and ask for an estimate, She did and they refused. Red flags. A quick look on Yelp revealed the company had horrible reviews. Enter 253 Locksmith. I called and Tim answered promptly. He identified he was in downtown Tacoma, offering his exact location (I didn't ask). He said he could meet my daughter in 30-35 minutes. Very matter of fact. No hype. He sounded trustworthy. He provided a $50 quote/estimate to unlock the car. My daughter called Tim and he was there earlier than he told me. He got her car open quickly. It didn't require drilling out the lock. The final charge...$50, as quoted. I called Tim after the repair to thank him. What a genuine person. My young lady was vulnerable and Tim treated her exceptionally, and professionally. I have two more daughters and gave them 253's phone number and Tim's name. Should a similar situation arise with our cars, home, or business, we know who to call. Thanks again Tim and 253 for saving the day!

I was honestly afraid I wouldn't be able to get into my car, and to make things worse, the alarm kept going off while I was at the store. I called Elite Locksmith around 8:00 pm, and Nick showed up by 9:30 pm, which was impressive. He was very polite, professional, and clearly knew what he was doing. Nick carved two brand-new keys and programmed both new remotes to my vehicle on the spot. Everything works perfectly now, and I finally have two fully functioning remotes. The price was much cheaper than going to the dealership, and the service was fast and stress-free. Nick helped me a lot and explained everything clearly. I'm extremely happy with the service and highly recommend Elite Locksmith if you ever need help with car keys or remotes.
