Best Businesses in Phoenix, AZ

JT's is a great key and locksmith company. I've had them to my home in Maricopa for a couple different re-key projects. Always very courteous and one of the more affordable solutions in Maricopa. I called this morning for service on re-keying my mailbox. They were able to complete my service the same day! Quick and personable. Support this local family-owned and operated business! Will certainly use again and would recommend their service to anyone in Maricopa needing keys or locksmith expertise! Thanks again Jeremiah.

This company is very professional and helpful in assisting me with choosing a safe to install in my new home. They kept me informed of the shipping process from the factory across the country and were very careful installing it in my home. I highly recommend this shop for security hardware!

I don't ordinarily gush about a lock and safe place but i am about to gush. I went to two places to get my 20 year old worn out car (door and ignition) key copied. I had been to two places prior each saying that the key was too torqued and too worn to work with. They generously tried but created keys that didn't work (didn't open the door or start the car). They both said, "Go to Prescott lock and safe". I did. The guy there (i think the owner... at least he said he had been doing this for 19 years (or such)... was a total master. A guru. An expert. He looked at the key and worked his magic. I explained that previous folks failed and he mentioned how the wear on the key made it tough... he had to adjust be a couple thousands of an inch (not cut as much as my key suggested) in order to accommodate for the decades of wear. After several excited (as in he loves what he does) trips between his shop and the car, he touched up the keys, improved with each effort... hand filed for perfection etc. AND, he lubed the locks until he handed me two keys (for 5$ total) that were perfect! The locks and keys worked better than they had for nearly 20 years. I kept saying to myself "wow!" "Wow!" as it was a true pleasure to work with a top expert who loves his work and it really shows.  I rushed home and excitedly told my wife and bored my kids with how amazed i was.  

So, there you have it...in this time and culture where expertise on many topics can be denigrated and dismissed, in this internet culture where everyone's opinion somehow "matters" and everyone thinks themselves an "expert", it is a real pleasure to work with a bonafide expert... and this guy is it. There's no substitute for the real thing!  

Maybe i'll take all my keys there for a pick-me-up. If your car door locks work rough, or any key/lock you have works rough... this is your guy.

disclosure: i don't know this guy, never went to the store before, never heard of the store before i went there yesterday.

PRO:
The owner responded to the early-morning quote request I placed through Yelp in just 9 minutes. The actual rekeying service I received was excellent. The locksmith was great... she called ~30 min before her arrival time; she was very polite, professional, and exceptionally clear in communicating everything about the job; she even adjusted a strike plate to tighten up a door that previously had a ridiculous amount of play while latched. The company's price was *very* competitive, and well below some of the gougers I found while collecting bids.

CON:
While the owner was quick to respond, and even included a first-available-time-slot in his message... getting through to the actual office where the work happens was quite challenging. Twice I called the number given by the owner... twice I sat in their hold queue for 5 minutes until THEIR system timed out and hung up on me. I relayed my unpleasant experience to the owner who was just as shocked when HE tried it and was also hung up on. He took my number and said he would have them call me... which they did... 90 minutes later. (Insert sad trombone)

Once they finally got back to me and we scheduled an appointment (a day later due to all the issues listed above), everything went well.  The locksmith did her work, I paid her with my credit card on-site at the end of the job. Happy conclusion...   until the next day when I received an invoice via Email asking me to pay the bill I had paid the previous day.  

My gut reaction is to knock two stars off, but the quality work and the excellent price outweighed the negative customer experience.

The key broke while I was animal sitting for my brother, so I was in a real pinch. CJ really quick and courteous and got me taken care of. Highly recommend them!!

I received a flyer in the mail with a new move in re-key special. I called that day to set an appointment, and he was available the next day. Ernie re-keyed all of my locks in about an hour. I could tell he really cared about the quality of his workmanship! I will definitely recommend him to friends and family who need a locksmith!

Is having 2 kids seats attached to your bike cool? No, not really! I had 1 Yepp mini locking seat on my handle bars that we lost the tubular key to. If you have had this problem you might call it a circle lock. We then bought a bigger rear mount Yepp Maxi which is why I had two. After searching and calling the manufacturer I decided to call TG to drill out the lock to get it off. What a solid guy TG is; affordable (he gave me the lowest quote out of 5 locksmiths),highly skilled, professional and fast! I called him Wednesday afternoon and he promptly showed up at my house a 2:30 at our scheduled time. He did a clean job and we removed the seat (he even helped me with the Allen bolts) within 10 minutes. TG is now my go to guy for any lock needs.

Phenomenal job and done in less than an hour. My key was stuck in my ignition and not able to turnover. He was able to fix it quick and did an excellent job. Thank you so much.

It is never a good day when you lock your keys in your car. Especially when that's where your purse, diapers and car seats are. I called a TON of places and the prices were crazy all over the place, I had people say "I will be there in 30," and 2 hours later no one comes still. I got in touch with Phillip and when he said "25 minutes" I didn't believe him. He showed up in 20 minutes, super polite, quick and efficient. He was very professional, and kind. He explained everything to me and was done in u def 5 minutes. I will definitely be using him in the future for any locksmith services I need. Excellent service, highly recommend.

Good company.  Fast Service.  Reliable.  They did what I asked them to do.

Very responsive and efficient. Within one hour was able to come out and create a new key for my F150. The price was competitive and the service was professional

Great little family run business. The key fob I needed had to be ordered from the dealer but they had it the same day. When I went to the shop to have it programmed they were very courteous and professional including wearing a mask. The entire process took maybe 20 minutes to complete and the price was good. I definitely recommend them and will go back. They service all makes and models, foreign and domestic.

Needed a last minute re-key of the house after leaving a house key in an Uber. Was extremely quick to respond and very friendly. Explained everything and cleaned up after themselves. Reasonably priced for the last minute Saturday service call as well. Would definitely recommend them for your locksmith needs! Still waiting on the other companies I called to call me back!

We had to pay for and emergency service call since my mom locked her keys in the door, so we asked them to change out some locks while he was here. I just assumed it would work fine - and we don't use our front for much.. but the front door lock barely works.. the bolt doesn't fully extend or retract  (and he left the mechanism loose). He worked very slow then said he didn't have time to finish. The man was also non-communicative and never smiled once. They helped my mom out so that's why I rated 3 stars, otherwise way less.

I called on Monday morning to check on duplicating my car key because I knew it was not available everywhere. Supposedly the woman on the phone checked, while I was on hold and returned to tell me they had a blank and could duplicate my key the next morning when I could get there. I arrived at opening and was told by this man that he did NOT have the blank and needed to get one. It wasted my time and when I told him that he got mad and told me he didn't need my business.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS BUSINESS AND WOULD RECOMMEND OTHER LOCKSMITHS IN THE AREA.

I have nothing but good things to say about this place, if you want it done right the first time come here. I took my weedeater due to not starting, bob had it checked out and fixed the same day at a fair price. And he also gave me a great deal on a used mower. So please support your local mom and pops businesses.

Called this outfit at 8:30 a.m. on a Thursday w/key stuck in my ignition.

Guy showed up in ~an hour. First, he told me he thought he could fix it in 20 minutes & would cost me $310... um, wow.

I agreed because they had me by the balls.

After about 40 min, the locksmith said that the ignition cylinder would need replaced, that he was going to go get one "at the company warehouse, 5 minutes away".

He returned after an hour & said "Nobody has your part in stock. I went to O'Reileys, Auto zone, blah blah blah..."
Company warehouse my a$$...

So he tells me that it's only available at Honda, it's much more expensive & my bill will jump to $475. I tell him to forget it, I'll have it towed somewhere & the price magically dropped to $330.

I PAY HIM THE $330 CASH, & off he goes to Honda around noon. He returns at dinner time only to inform me that he has the wrong part, it won't fit & Honda is closed until tomorrow morning at "10 or 11".

So, it's now Friday morning. I'm out $330 & I don't hear from anyone before NOON when I FINALLY CALL THEM.
Jerk around, jerk around, put off.
I call again at 1:30 & still dont have a solid commitment.

Presumably this will still get fixed today. Assuming so, I would never, ever call this company again & I emphatically DO NOT RECOMMEND THEM...

If zero stars was an option, it would be appropriate. They did nothing right.

Unless you love being jerked around, put off, lied to & overcharged. In which case, you're going to love A1 locksmith in Phoenix.
