Called, received a call from Benjamin right away. Fixed my VW key ignition that was locked and not turning that same day.

Once I place the call, Ben immediately contacted me. He asked for the details of my vehicle and was able to give me a quote. He gave me a range in pricing, I had to pick the new gadget. (Better than the dealer) He was able to perform the rekey complete the job as quickly as possible. He stayed in contact with me to make sure that I was in a safe place, then he confirmed a time that I was available, and he would also be able to honor. This was my first experience, losing my key...I had a bunch of questions he was ready and willing to answer. In particular, because he had to open the hood of my vehicle, disconnect electronic connections, and access the circuit board under the right passenger seat. He was honest with the pricing and reasonable. He didn't leave a huge mess. He was well organized, and let me know of issues he encountered like my weakass internet. Ben made it happen, and I am so grateful. I am once again, mobile! Call Ben he is reliable and HONEST! read more

Ynt Security Solutions - This is how the evening started and now I can drive it anywhere. GRATEFUL! - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - Irving, Texas

I called 682 Locksmith and they dispatched YNT Security solutions. He came out, was professional, and charged me $364 for a replacement key on my vehicle. After I paid him, I noticed the key didn't work to turn the car on. He instructed me to hold it towards the push start and even then it would only work some of the time (I can't use it because I don't want to be stranded somewhere). He then told me that he needed to order another key that wasn't generic that the one he had wasn't really compliant. He promised to come back but now he can't find the key so now I am left with a key that works part of the time and I'm out $364. He will not refund me any of the money. This company is not reliable and I encourage you to run the other way! read more

***Edit 1: Added new screenshot of his reaction after seeing this review: telling me that I'm never going to get the warranty info until I remove the review because I don't want to wait and that I need to call the company he lied about working for (see "6" in photos) ***Edit 2: You can see the type of "business owner" this is from his reply... He might get a working key made for you but you'll have to deal with this: No invoice or receipt, no accepting debit/credit cards (only Venmo or Zelle), arguing and lying, and a key that's not even fully functional. I lost my only car key and called several companies without knowing that most locksmiths these days now outsource their work to independent contractors. My first mistake was not keeping a log of who I was calling because when this locksmith called me back after another company came out and couldn't make the key, I jumped at the opportunity, especially since Audi quoted $750 and I hadn't been able to drive my car for a week. I was told the caller's name was Benjamin and he could provide the key for $250 and in order to estimate the price for programming, he patched his boss on the call who mentioned $200 for a total of $450. They were very defensive that I asked for pricing so this should've been my first red flag along with the inability to immediately quote a price range for programming (isn't this your job?). They also promised a 3 year warranty on parts, service and labor and were confident they could get it done so it was schedule for an hour later. When he arrived, he spent most of the time in his black van on his phone or in the back of his van. And when I asked if everything was going okay (since the last locksmith wasn't able to help), I assumed he wasn't going to get it done and there was this tone in his voice like I was bothering him instead of just informing me of the process - second red flag. After almost 2 and a half hours, he knocked on my door after working in the garage and went straight back to his car with the key he made while locking and unlocking the doors, assuming he was verifying the key was made correctly. I just stood there waiting for him to come back to the car since I wasn't sure if he was done or not and he immediately asked how I was going to pay. When I asked to see the key to verify everything for myself, he was rude again promising it worked just fine. I then realized it wasn't fully functional and I couldn't unlock my car with my hand on the door handle or push the button to start it - third red flag (I should've walked away at this point but I was just desperate to drive my car at this point). When we spoke over the phone, I was told the key will do everything an OEM key would but just without the Audi emblem and price point - I remember that distinctly. By this point, I just didn't care anymore and wanted to pay and for him to leave. I asked if he took Apple Pay assuming he would take debit/credit and was told he only accepts cash, Venmo or Zelle. HUGE red flag but again, I just wanted to drive my car. I verified $450 again while getting my Venmo app ready and he said he needed to call his boss and check because it was a ridiculous price. Yes, $450 is ridiculous because Audi charges almost double but it's still high for an aftermarket key that isn't fully functional. His boss came up with an arbitrary $500 and when I sent the funds, I immediately receive a fraud alert from my bank for a Yamin Bitan, not Benjamin. I don't know why I just didn't walk away then because I definitely should've. I wasn't given a receipt, invoice or any information about the 3 year warranty promised over the phone. I asked for the name of the company he worked for and he said it was KeyMe. It's now 4 days later and I have no receipt, invoice or warranty information (it went from 3 years to 12 months to 6 months, to 4 months to 3 months - see screenshots) and after calling KeyMe twice, they don't have a record of completing a service for me. Run, don't walk, from Benjamin or Yamin or whoever he is. I should've just paid the $750 at Audi. read more

Ynt Security Solutions - Excellent, immediate service. Very professional with fair pricing. Helped find very difficult key , dealer quote me 5 times. - Keys & Locksmiths Near Me - Irving, Texas

My experience was exactly like M.D.'s experience (another review). It started off okay because he arrived when he said he would but the whole experience was really sketchy. He tried for 4 hours to make a key, failed a few times and kept telling me he's going to add more to the cost while he was doing the job. After a few hours, he said he needed to leave but he needed to charge me a $200 dollar deposit for the work he had done so far. I kindly told him, I can't part ways with money because I don't have confidence he can do the job and I didn't agree to him leaving part way through the job without any details of who he is. He told me his name is Dan and he handed me a business card that says "YNT Security Solutions " with a gmail address. He got very upset and told me to pay him $80. I said no and he sped off with my car steering column disassembled. Another locksmith is here and they're taking care of me now. read more

If I could leave a no star I would. BEWARE! STAY AWAY! Took my money and damaged my vehicle saying that he would return and fix it never came back. Now my car is stranded at my job. It was very unprofessional read more

I am not one to go online and write a review but i had to give recognition where it is needed and should be viewed by many. I lost my keys to my vehicle do not recall where i had left them and was left with a car with no keys. My local dealer was charging me a price that could be used to pay two car payments. After calling a few places Ynt gave me the best price. The technician came quick and got ready to work. I am very happy with the results and the price the gentleman gave me. Thank you will definitely recommend and will be using again if needed :) read more
