I was surprised to see negative reviews from users for ESP Locksmith. My experience was totally…read morepositive. I had a computer chip key made and a replacement battery in another chip key. The locksmith did all the work and at a very reasonable rate. The price for my a chip key was less than what I once paid for an online key. Yes, I tried going thru the process of trying an online "do it yourself" key package, but it didn't work for me. ESP locksmith saved me on that one, and for less money than what I paid for my online chip key package. I would recommend ESP for excellent service at a great price.

I had several questions and all were answered quickly. Christina called when the parts came in to schedule the install a few days later. Michael came and did the install on time did a great job on all three doors. He confirmed a few things where we had a choice how he solved a problem the previous deadbolt installer created, or needed clarification on fit. Fixed a squeak on a hinge I hadn't gotten to yet, and I think left the area cleaner than he found it. Final invoice was exactly as expected. A few days later, very happy with the work. In the past folks (or sometimes me) get the fit wrong so the door doesn't close quite right or scrapes on some part. We have none of that.

Please read this review if you are considering Santa Barbara Locksmiths…read more I moved to SB a little under a year ago. I ran into a very complex automotive locksmithing issue recently and called Juan at SB Locksmiths to help me out. If you don't want to read further, long story short- THEY ARE AMAZING Although my issue is not fully resolved (at no fault of Juan or sb locksmiths), I need to let the public know how attentive and professional SB locksmiths have been. Personally, as someone who also works in customer service, I NEEDED to leave a good review for these guys. If I could leave 10 5 star reviews I would. These are real, honest, hardworking folks who won't bs you. Literally went above and beyond. I'm forever grateful.

UPDATE: Everyone…read moremakes mistakes and we are all faced with challenges as well as circumstances outside of our control from time to time. How one handles such situations and moves forward is perhaps the best measure of character. After a disappointing experience with Gold Coast Locksmiths, Matt reached out to me to apologize and explain circumstances on his side. I was impressed with his willingness to accept responsibility and make amends, rather than the far to common reaction of fabricating excuses. I was left with the impression that they genuinely care about their customers' experience and the results and quality of their work. I am revising my review to a positive recommendation and will use their services again.

He gave me a very reasonable quote and tried to give me a discount after the job because he ran late on our appointment, but his quote was very reasonable to begin with so I gave him the promised amount. Tim was very personable and had great demeanor as well. I would highly recommend Tim for any type of locksmith work.

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.

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.
