I'm three minutes from their location not only did they tell me that would be 3 to 4 hours for them to come but it would be $280 to get my keys out of my truck. Over priced because I locked my keys in my vehicle

They were very pleasant to deal with. But they charged me $195 to replace a small lock on a cabinet. Ridiculous price gouging. Find someone else.

Poor customer service. The guy "helping" me was trying to make me feel guilty for interrupting his lunch hour and was becoming angrier as more customers walked in. I strongly recommend some customer service training.

Robert was awesome to work with and Leo did an amazing job moving my safe. Stairs and hardwood floors and everything turned out perfect, Would 100% use again in the future.

Critical: Value Overly Expensive. They sure know how to overprice. Almost feel like I was stolen from just to retrieve my car keys.

A-1 locksmith are life savers, if you have any thing that has to do with keys, I encourage you to go to A-1, they respond to calls, and communicate too, there is a difference between copy cats and original. A-1 is the real deal, I'm satisfied. After calling too many so-called locksmith places, they don't pick their calls nor return calls, A-1 have made my day. You people get my business for life. I want to say thank you guys with much appreciation.
