Every…read moresingle one kept ghosting me and my friends and I were stuck outside of the vehicle for around 4 hours. As soon as I called this company, the owner knew exactly what to do and drove from over 1.5 hours away to help me with getting the trunk open through the drivers handle. He was very friendly, professional, kind and attentive and It took him 5 minutes to do something that we had been waiting 4 hours for. He saved our entire day and his help was worth the price he charged. Definitely 100% recommend for all of your locksmith needs!!

After self-installing a smart-doorlock, I accidentally locked myself out on a weekend. I called a…read morecouple of local locksmiths and found this fantastic company. Jorge gave me the option of coming out later that day. When he promptly arrived, he quickly assessed the situation and recommended changing the key to match the rest of our home's exterior locks. He got to work and was researching whether or not my specific lock was able to be rekeyed. The information on the lock vendor's website was not thorough and explicit as to whether or not that model could be rekeyed. After about an hour of troubleshooting , Jorge eventually came to the conclusion that we could not rekey. He apologized for any inconvenience and only charged me for the unlock service. A few days later, he messaged back to let me know he called the manufacturer's technical support and verified that our specific model is, in fact, not able to be rekeyed. Jorge went above and beyond. Not sure if it was driven by curiosity or just doing a complete job for his clients. Regardless, it was an exceptional customer service experience and I wish there were more Jorge's providing services.

He was referred by our realtor and he is mobile. When he arrived initially the locks he got we changed our minds. He was patient and made sure we got what we wanted. He gave us options and explained the differences in the locks and we chose a brand he recommend. We also wanted them all to match and he was able to get them the day we moved all our items in.

Our elderly widowed neighbor died in January. Relatives from both sides are traveling from…read moreFairfield, LA & San Diego to empty the Carmel home, ready it for sale. A complicated mess. My husband, John, has been assisting with logistics, communication, & been the local contact for both sides. Today the LA relatives arrived, the housekey they'd been sent by the Fairfield relatives didn't work. The Fairfield relative called John [@ the gym] who asked "do you want me to get in the middle of this?" so, he contacted our contractor, Dave Allaire, who gave John Smokey Key Service's number. The technician was on his way to a job in Salinas, but stopped by the Carmel home to remedy the situation....nope, the key didn't work. so the tech [John called him Smokey, but he's deceased, was it Ronnie?] had John call the Fairfield relative [who was in the middle of getting chemotherapy!] to have her send a photo of the REAL housekey & the tech performed his magic & resolved the situation. Very pleasant, efficient, completely solved the problem. John wrote a great Google review.

I called Star Mobile Locksmith after being locked out of my vehicle. The technician/owners worked…read moreon my Honda for more than two hours and attempted to make two different keys, but he was unable to get the key and alarm to connect to my vehicle. Neither key worked, and my problem was not resolved. When I told him I was not willing to pay because the service had not resulted in a working key, he took one of the keys he had made, twisted it, and threw it forcefully onto the ground in front of me. I found this behavior to be unprofessional. I left without knowing exactly what keys had been made or inserted into my vehicle. This concerned me because I don't have technical locksmith experience, and I was left wondering whether the unsuccessful attempts could have caused other issues, including possible damage to the ignition or lock system. I then contacted a different mobile locksmith, who diagnosed the issue, programmed the key and alarm correctly, and had my vehicle working in less than 30 minutes. This was my personal experience. I recommend that customers ask for a clear explanation of the work being performed, an upfront estimate, and confirmation that the technician has the correct equipment, technical ability to program their specific vehicle's key and alarm system, and experience working on their make and model before authorizing service. Or just simply avoid them all together.
