I am so glad I found this guy, when my car key broke. After calling many other places and dealerships for quotes, he was the friendliest, the most helpful, and honest. Also did the job for a very fair rate and came to my house and completed the new key under 10 minutes. Could not recommend him enough if you are needing a locksmith.

I purchased several "blank" keys and Leon quickly cut and programed several them for me. I saved several hundred vs other locksmiths in my area or going to the dealer. He also communicated clearly about the process beforehand. It's important that you get the right key!

His response time was great. His price was even better. I literally called and he came running and it only took him 10 minutes max to handle my issue. Thank you so much!! He was also very nice!!
