Best Businesses in Phoenix, AZ

Unfortunately five stars is the highest rating because they deserve far more credit for the attentive, extremely prompt, and caring customer service they provide.  

I had a last minute emergency to rekey my mom's entire home, due to an order of protection against a drug abusing and mentally unstable younger brother, who thought he could continue to occupy the home, even though an order of protection for my mom and her home said he could not.

My recently widowed mom (our dad died from COVID) needed to sell her home. Two property inspections were cancelled due to this former brother being there and chasing away inspectors. The need to secure the residence was immediate, and JT's husband and wife team had it done within 24 hours afterwards making arrangements for the new keys to be mailed to us.  They confirmed the garage code had been changed, locks were changed; and when I mentioned not knowing if the windows were all locked they said they could go back to the house and make sure they were locked.  WOW!!!!

They treat you like family.  The genuine care and concern in their voices is palapable. They are two amazing human beings ,and I sincerely wish our world was filled with more people like them.  I will never forget their kindness, and my mom's mind and fears have been placed at ease.  THANK YOU SO MUCH JT'S !!!!

I needed to get my home re keyed ,so I called around to get the best price. When the first locksmith came to my house after he saw the job the price almost doubled, I told him he could leave and I would call someone else.....  The next company was Pinnacle lock @ safe.  They arrived at the time we agreed upon,did the job at the price I was quoted ...   The tech was very knowledge in his field and made me feel confident in my choice of locksmith.....  I would recommend Pinnacle to all that ask for a locksmith..

Excellent, efficient, timely, and well priced service. Jimbo and Ethan worked around my schedule and were even able to show up three days prior to our initial scheduled appointment. Great job by the entire staff to include the sweet lady that answers the phone . Thank you.

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.

CJ came out in less than 20 minutes, quickly got the lock picked and had me back inside in no time. Friendly service and prompt response. Highly recommend!

Ernie was absolutely fantastic! Very prompt and professional. I had all the locks (8) re-keyed in my new home. The price was great and I feel extremely satisfied with his work. I will surely recommend Keys Please to friends and family!

Tyrone arrived at my place of business very promptly. He discussed different type of rekeying options, and different levels of security, such as rekeying so the locks can't be "bumped" open. He explained the different parts of the lock and key process, allowing me to make an informed decision in the level of security that fit my budget. He was extremely knowledgeable and professional. His prices were the best I found in the greater Phoenix area. I recommend him whole-hardheartedly.

Prompt, courteous service at way better than dealer prices for automotive key fobs. In and out in less than ten minutes.

Over the weekend i misplaced my car keys, so as a consumer i was seeking the services of a locksmith. I came across your company and gave you a call. a tech named adam was sent to my home we agreed upon a price of $ 220 for 1 key and a key fob, after 45mins he came to my door and said " i cant  do the job for the agreed price, it will cost more then a realized." right then and there i was skeptical. with an unlocked truck and no key i then decided to go to the chevy dealership with my vin number and have a key made. when i returned to my truck when i stick my key the ignition it would not turn, as pulled it out the entire ignition came with it. no one touched the ignition after your tech , so naturally i called him back over to my home to " finish the job he started ". he then came to my home to charge me $250 to fix his mistake as a consumer you can see why i may be upset the be charged for a service that wasn't completed correctly he ruined my ignition and didn't make me a key, he has offered to fix the ignition for a price which i feel is unfair because when this processed started the ignition was 100% fine that was the doing of your tech. Now if i let your tech fix the ignition there will be a key , most  likely that key will not work for door locks, so if that is the case WHY would i want two keys when i had ONE key at the start of this headache. now lets also remember i went to the dealership and paid to have a key made, if your tech replaces the ignition and door locks ( because i do not want 2 keys i only want 1)  then your tech has now cost me for that key since it would for these replacement parts he is offering. Bottom line is i want my truck to have a working ignition with ONE key for ignition and door locks and no headache. i am not looking for any problems i would hate to have to bring my case to the attorney generals office , as a stated in the beginning i was a consumer seeking a service you advertised to provided and yet your tech seemed to have made matters worse and much more costly for me and your company.

Great fast service! Super nice guy who knows what he's doing and is honest. Reasonably priced! I highly recommend!

It's never a good day when your wife locks your keys in the car and you only have one set. David truly saved the day.

I sent a message on Yelp that I needed a locksmith on Sunday morning at 6:00 AM. A couple hours later David contacted to see if I still needed help. He was at my home in 20 minutes with consistent updates as I requested. He had the car open less then 5 minutes later and a spare key made in the event it happens again. I had not checked other prices but I was very pleased with the price. David is a very polite and respectful guy. He did wear a mask and I could not be happier. If I ever need a locksmith again I will use Sage Locksmith and also referring anyone who needs one to them. Thanks for saving the day and possibly my marriage.

Great key service! Very responsive, followed via phone as promised, came on time, great customer service from Luna.

I had a great experience at Acme Locksmith. I needed a Thule car box key copied, and Ace Hardware was unable to duplicate the foreign key, so they recommended me to Acme. The man running the shop that day remade my keys after finding the metal might be too thin and be in danger of breaking off in the lock. Great service at a good value!

Called for information.  The person was warm, personable and professional.  They are mobile service only, no store front.  Which means they must be able to complete their job from their vehicle.  No problem!

My husband and I got up this morning early, after leaving our 21 month old with grandma overnight, to rent a U-Haul truck to move our storage unit closer to us. I have massive anxiety and we were already running behind to beat the mid-day heat, so we reserved the truck through U-Hauls contactless mobile check-in service.

We got to the location, checked in, signed the contract, and paid. The app gave us the code for the lock box. I hopped out of our car and quickly opened the lock, only to find the key was missing. No big deal. The app said to go ask for the key.

I go inside and meet the manager. [Now, I am sure he is/was a lovely guy. Several "regulars" popped in while we were there and he was only too happy to help them by name.] However, when I asked for the key he sat at his computer, said I wasn't in his system, so we would have to fill out new applications and waivers.

I tried to stay calm and explain that we just needed the key, and we wouldn't be in his "check-in" list because we already signed the contract, paid, and were given the code to the lock box. To which he replied - "nope, you're not in my system so theres nothing I can do. They shouldn't have given you the code."

At this point, I'm nearly in tears and start having a panic attack. I will admit I did curse (though not at him) and told him his incompetence wasn't my problem (after he said our not getting the key wasn't his problem). And I do regret that. It was not the right thing to say, but it genuinely was his incompetence that was holding up our already stressful, running behind, on a time limit before the baby comes back, day.  

At this point, he threatens to call the cops and says no matter what he is refusing to rent to us. To which I reply that I have a signed contract saying the truck is rented to me until 3pm, and that the police would be on my side. I'm bawling and hyperventilating at this point. I've already apologized. And he still won't give us the dang key.

I get ahold of U-Haul, they tell me I am correct and that this man is supposed to give us the key. They call him while we are on hold. He says he's not renting to us and hangs up on them and walks outside. They call him back (probably a few times) and explain that the truck is not his and that he is not the one renting to us! They tell him to give us the key.

Finally, after almost an hour, he hands us the key and says there was a miscommunication.

I understand that at his age, he may not know how mobile CONTACTLESS check-in works in a pandemic. But what I don't understand is how someone who spat at me that he's "gone to church every Sunday his whole life" could be SO COLD when someone in need is clearly having a hard time. Where is the empathy? What would Jesus do?

I did notice that he has a sign at the desk advertising that he is selling his business. I sure hope someone buys it soon, as this assumedly once helpful man desperately needs to retire!

I've tried to take my bike to this shop and every single time I take it in the guy tells me to take it "not this Friday, but next Friday" It's everytime and I'm sick of it how many fridays do I have to take my bike in to get checked? Then I asked him for a time and he told me "I don't care" this guy is very unprofessional and is just wasting my time. I have not given him no type of attitude everytime he tells me to come again I been polite but I'm just done with this mans business. I would NEVER recommend this place to anyone.

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.
