Jay was very responsive, communicative and fast. Came out immediately and did exactly what I asked without any fuss. Originally quoted me $125 to rekey two locks with additional $5 per key, but it ended up coming out to $176 as the two keys were different brands. So it was a standard rate which was still reasonable, especially given how quickly he was available and got it done. I'd hire him again. read more

There have been recent break-ins in my neighborhood. I've been concerned about how strong my front door is so I called Nightwatch locksmith to see if I could get someone out to see my door and how to fortify it. Jay came out and checked my door frame and recommended a type of deadbolt that was stronger than what I had. He went and got one and installed it, and it is doing the job. He was knowledgeable and professional with his installation. I was pleased with his service and would call him again for my locksmith needs. I highly recommend him because he does the job very well. read more

Your technician, Edgar, was dispatched and arrived quickly. He was able to diagnose the problem, repair the lock and open the door. I'm sure that to you, that is his job description but to us, he was a life saver. We had driven 2 1/2 hours to get there. The purpose of this long email is to commend Edgar for his expertise and kindness. He worked quickly all the while explaining the problem. Once he had repaired the lock, he spent the time to go over the fine points of the locking mechanism.

By 8:45 PM, we were still in the parking lot and the key was not working. Because I had a flight to catch early the next morning, I suggested that we stop and put everything back together. However, he encouraged me to allow him to continue programming the key. He told me if he put the pieces back my car would be loud and the alarm would keep setting off. He finally completed the work on Monday, and my father picked up my car on my behalf since I was out of the country. When I returned and got my car back, there were components that had not been reassembled. In addition, new issues had developed: 3 of 4 windows no longer roll down, and the driver's side door no longer locks properly. I now have to lock the car by opening the rear door and manually pushing down the lock. I attempted to replace the window fuses, which temporarily restored function, but the fuse now shorts every time the windows are used. The driver's door continues to malfunction, never fixed that part. He was very nice and clearly works hard; however, I wish that if he was unable to program the key, he had communicated that upfront rather than continuing to work on my vehicle. This process resulted in several hours of lost time, significant expense, and additional damage to my car. I have now paid $740 for this service and will need to go to the dealership to address the issues caused, with no way of knowing what the additional repair costs will be. I have been told by him that I need to travel to Hayward or Oakland, but I live in Sunnyvale. As a single mother of two, it is extremely difficult to find the time to make these trips, especially after already spending days previously waiting while the issue was unresolved. As a business owner, taking payment for work that resulted in further damage rather than a solution has made this an unfortunate and highly inconvenient experience.
