    Kobi was incredibly responsive and quick to support. He truly can make a key for almost anything. The extra key he made for our car is completely identical and functional to the original - and much more affordable than the dealer or other keys moths. We 100% recommend Ko I for any car key needs and will be asking him again for any future cars.

    Your search for THE BEST locksmith for cars is over! We needed a spare key for 3 of our fiats. It was incredibly hard to find anyone who could even make a Fiat key, but Kobi from PickBuster was so efficient, responsive, nice, and affordable! Kobi loves his job, and it shows through his incredible customer service and professionalism. He was very thorough and explained what he was doing and why it had to be done that way. It was easy to make an appt with him over yelp and when my appt date and time came-- He was exactly on time and even called/messaged me when he was about 10 min away. He drives a large van that is his entire workspace! Everything is organized and it was really cool to see all his keys lined up with a table and toolkit. Tips: - He comes to you! No more fighting your way to find mall parking, or going to an expensive dealership. - All of our keys work and are new and have the car logo on them. - He said if we completely lost our car key-- it would have taken about 3 hrs to do - He was here and done within 40 minutes to make 3 spare keys for 3 cars! -Accepts Credit card, Vemno, or Zelle Thank you Kobi! We highly recommend him for any and all of your car key needs!

I explained to Gal that I would not be able to meet him in SF and if he could correspond with me over the phone to discuss what needed to be done while he was on site. I had originally wanted him to disable the buttons on the mortise lock because we thought my dad was activating it, locking the exterior latch, and preventing my parents' caregiver from entering each morning. Gal saved us a lot of money by explaining that all that was needed to be done was to turn the key one extra turn. Gal also adjusted the door because it was hard to close at times and smoothed out the caregiver's keys to make it easier to unlock the door. Gal did great work, but what really stood out to me is what a great quality human being Gal is. Not only was he understanding of the situation with me living so far away, but he showed the caregiver how to open the door if it's locked from inside, took a video of the process so I could share it with the caregiver in case she forgets, had us on speaker phone because the caregiver doesn't speak English so I could help translate. His patience and understanding is of the highest quality, saying that we will all be that age at some point. He was very respectful to my elderly dad and caregiver. Gal is highly recommended! I would use him again in a heartbeat!

As a result, I ended up going back into the store and purchasing a very expensive USPS mailbox which they will install on my gate this week. I really appreciate the professionalism and support.

The guy answered and said his "agent" would call me but he's on his way. Eventually an East Bay number called at 9:50pm, and said he'd be there in 30 mins. I asked how much the price would be and he said anywhere from $85 to $140. After waiting almost an hour and a half, he finally showed up at 11:10pm and told me my apt lock was "commercial" and the "driving fee" from the East Bay is $150 on its own and this lock is actually $270 -- but he'd take $180 on Zelle immediately. He then unlocked my door in about 8 seconds. Being that it was almost midnight and I'm a woman alone, I had no choice. I'm not sure why a "driving fee" would be relevant to a business that advertises itself as LOCAL. I could have called the plenty of other SF-based locksmiths and 1) not had to wait much longer than promised 2) not been pressured into a payment that was well over the price that was quoted.

He only told me the cost after the door was already opened, when I no longer had the option to refuse. This is classic price gouging and an example of deceptive business practice. A standard lockout in San Francisco is normally $120-$200, even for SmartKey models. Charging $750 without prior disclosure is unacceptable. I am requesting a partial refund and a written explanation of their pricing structure. Until then, I cannot recommend this company.
