Greg is an amazing person, he was able to tell to give me a price with just a photo of my broken key, I needed the key fixed before my parents found out so he came a few minutes after I called. Fixed the key right then and there, opens the car with just one try. The places I've gone in the past take multiple tries for it to even open the car door. I highly recommend Greg for any of your key troubles.

Pacific Lock n Keys is truly SUPER RAD!!!!! LET ME TELL YOU WHY.... I needed a new ignition put in. I had the part already and tried to do it myself but like most, I am totally not qualified and you tube does not work for everything!!

Monday rolls around and I'm still without a vehicle because, oh yea, I forgot to confirm with best rated PLK (out of 5 others in case you are wondering)! So, I call him up, after

Was on camp pendleton and worried about a locksmith getting on base, luckily he could. The dealership said I'd have to get my car towed to get the key programmed and what not. He came to me gave me a price better than the dealership and was done in less than 20 minutes. He was very nice and helpful according to my situation. I would highly recommend him over any other locksmith in the whole area.
