    Mario at Selden Lock & Key is awesome. (707)639-7523
    Mo B.

    Mario is amazing! We called him when our only key to our Volvo snapped on half. The closest dealership is in Walnut Creek and they wanted to charge us $160 for a key, then another $180 to program the chip. Also we needed to have it towed there and Jim at Tri City Towing gave us Mario's number because he couldn't tow it without a key. Mario came out and put an over night delivery in for a new key. The next day, when it came, he painstakingly opened the new transponder key as well as the old key, and transferred the chip from one to the other . It was like surgery, delicately removing the crystal-like chip without breaking it. I highly recommend Mario at Selden Lock and Key. He saved us a bunch of money...24/7 Mobile Locksmith. (707)639-7523 Thanks again Mario!!

    Mario is like SWAT! This is who other locksmiths call for help, literally. Went to another locksmith, after an hour of cutting my key and walking back and forth to my truck, I was asked to come back another day! Mario programmed a replacement and had me in and out in about 20 minutes. Price was comparable to my dealer, he was worth it. If you need a locksmith who KNOWS what he's doing, call this guy. He's also mobile ! Thank you !

    Bought key on Amazon for $55 ($200 from dealer) and had Mario cut & program.

    Came and got the work I needed complete. He was quick and very reasonable. Easy to communicate with.read more

    Astonishing. Two excellent jobs performed by ace lock and key. Eithan (pronounced Issa) was once…read moreagain the guy I would hire. In my first review, the biggest concern was the installation of a high-end lock. High-end locks tend to have a lot of technical detail which I have outlined previously. I submitted my request for a locksmith to duplicate my car key to Yelp projects. For some bizarre reason, I thought that locksmiths might split into two groups. A) locksmith that specialize in installing high-end locks and B) locksmith that duplicated electronic car keys. So I ran a fresh Yelp project search. Once again, I am happy to be wrong. Once again, Issa was the locksmith who went the extra mile and made sure he knew what was going on with the key before he accepted the job. His cost estimate was more than reasonable. Even compared to very competitive alternatives. I had called the dealership and gotten estimates of how much it would cost to duplicate the key. It's no surprise that compared to any locksmith, the price was exorbitant. Even the dealership was unable to recommend the OEM duplicate because it was just completely unreasonable. They recommended the lowest cost key that worked. They displayed absolutely no surprise at the difference in price between a locksmith and the dealership and were quite congenial about recommending the locksmith. The one con about the lowest cost duplicate is longevity. They tend not to last as long. But a significant portion of the population won't actually keep the car long enough to wear out the duplicate. And for the price you can afford at least two duplicates compared to the OEM. In addition, I thought that the equipment to duplicate an electronic lock would be bulky and I thought I would have to drive to the home location of the locksmith in order to get it duplicated. Once again, I am happy to be completely wrong. Issa drove over to my place, the equipment needed was completely mobile. Depending on the key, the duplication varies from half an hour to one hour. Because Issa offers such reasonable rates additional cost may be added to the bill should they be necessary. Turns out for my car he didn't have the security codes. Purchasing the security code was a very reasonable $25. In addition, it's best if you can pay Issa with cash or perhaps a personal check. He adds whatever percentage the credit card company is charging him for the transaction. Even with the small additional costs, the final price remained the most competitive. Issa makes generous time estimates for his arrival. He estimated arrival in a half an hour and gave me the heads up via text, but arrived early. Once again, I had some admittedly, obscure and rather nitpicky questions about the state of the art in criminal activities related to locks and how to protect myself. Once again,Issa displayed comprehensive knowledge about the topic. One key point. Issa double checked to make sure I was the registered owner of the car. Now with my previous lock, I already had the keys so it's fairly obvious I owned the lock. No locksmiths likes to be hired to essentially break in to somebody else's place. I'm a little vague on the details, but I believe locksmiths can be held legally accountable in such situations. At the very least, they can lose their license. As in forever. I admit the duplication of an electronic key for an automobile seems relatively straightforward and simple compared to my previous installation of a high-end lock. It demands a lot more expert knowledge on the part of the locksmith and wide understanding of the field to deal with these locks. But maybe electronic locks are in fact, highly technical and Issa made it look easy. It's easy to tell the make of the car just by looking at the key, but he knew the year. Now this is something I normally don't notice but Issa is a congenial and friendly guy. I found his manner reassuring. He displayed no impatience whatsoever with my questions both amateur or obscure.
