I posted an RFQ on Yelp and they asked me to call. Even though the RFQ contained enough information for other providers to provide a quote, City Lock required me to call them with more information. I ended up selecting a different provider. The other provider had to drive 45 minutes to help with my lock and City Lock was located in my area.

My dealer sent me to this guy because they trusted he would do a good job and he didn't disappoint. I called and he was able to help me over the phone. Apparently, the dealership wanted to charge me $180/hr for something that he was able to give me instructions on and took me 5 minutes to complete. I am so glad I called here first. As women, we often get taken advantage of in the automotive industry. I feel so empowered today! I am so grateful to this guy.

It's hard to actually review this business when every time we go there it is closed because the times are COMPLETELY wrong on Google. They aren't open on weekends, and they close at 2pm, not 9pm.

Jeff is great. So thorough and so quick! He helped me understand how the locks work, why they break, and even gave me a demonstration on the durability of the new lock he was making for me by trying to break a copy of it using a vice grip and a pliers and twisting attempting to twist it apart. It didn't break. He charged me way less than the quotes I found online for a chip Honda Pilot key.
