Best Locksmiths in United States
I accidentally locked myself out of my car. Fortunately, my roadside assistance was able to call Rick at Blue Monkey Lockout. He called me and kept me informed of his arrival time. When he arrived, he was able to get me back in my car quickly. He was so kind, competent and communicative. Thanks so much!

Joseph is an amazing locksmith. He got my door open and replaced locks. He came over in 1 hour, which my wife appreciated since we were locked out of the house. It was after hours and no other locksmith would come over so late.
Excellent attention to detail and very professional.
His cost is very reasonable and I would recommend Joseph for my mortgage clients as well.

Just had them cut some keys for me. They were very friendly and quick. I'll use them again.

Alan did a great job. This was our first time working with him. He's a nice human being and a perfectionist, but also on time and efficient. We're very happy with the job and the experience from top to bottom.

I locked my keys inside of my condo & these guys were really nice, I messaged them on here & Ben responded right away. I set up an appointment for when I got off work which was convenient for me. They sent out a technician & I think it took less than 15 for him to get my door open. The price was very reasonable too as well. I would use them again if I was locked out even though I'm hoping to not do that again! Thank you!

Very quick response and extremely professional. Nick showed up on time with the right equipment and had an alternative new lock to replace an aged one. His prices are reasonable especially for the quality of his work. I would highly recommend him and I'll certainly use his service in the future.

Very friendly and excellent customer service. He came to my house and made the extra key for my pickup right there. Price was way less then what the Toyota dealership wanted.

The only key to my VW Jetta GLI, simply vanished after I got home last Wednesday evening. We looked high & low but couldn't find them anywhere (entire key ring with car & house keys) they vanished & the car was stuck in my garage.
Well I'm now learning that VW's are not as cheap or easy to replace a lost key as Fords or Chevy's are, they have this neat but pricey "flip" key (switchblade) that serves as a remote to unlock the doors, it contains an anti-theft transponder (like most other car brands) an ability to send a signal to the engine computer's immobilizer, that needs a special code to be programmed into the key and the car simultaneously, and lastly, it's a "sidewinder" key that has grooves cut into the sides rather than teeth as a normal key does and requires special equipment to cut the grooves into that type of key.
To make things worse, I live in Coolidge, and to replace a lost VW key (when there are no other keys remaining), the dealer says, first you must have the car towed to them, then wait two days after they order the correct key for it (the keys are ordered by a car's VIN and cut to match your car at VW, who then sends it pre-cut, to the dealership). The dealers apparently don't have the equipment to make (cut) a new key themselves anymore, they only sell blank spares (if they're in stock), or they can order a blank from VW that has been ordered pre-cut to open your particular car's locks. But then the transponder, anti-theft immobilizer and remote, all have to be programmed at a cost of $125 in addition to the cost of the $175 key...adding in the towing fee (unless you have AAA) and the inconvenient two day part wait time (BTW, you must arrive IN TIME for a key to be ordered by 1 pm, anytime after that and it doesn't count as a day), it could get up to an inconvenient $500 for ONE new key at the dealer! Then it gets complicated...If your car had a previous owner and he replaced a lock or re-keyed the vehicle at some point, VW has no way of knowing that and will only cut the $175 key to the original pattern the car came with that's on record. So if it doesn't fit, (to unlock the door or start the ignition) the customer is still responsible & must pay for a now useless $175 key! Unreal...!
I decided to go a different route. I Googled "VW locksmiths in AZ" and must've called over a half a dozen locksmiths that could not do it for one reason or another... In fact one locksmith who said he'd do it, had me waiting 1.5 extra hours one day till I finally called to see what time they were coming, only to be told they decided they wouldn't be coming now because I live too far from Mesa...it would have been nice to let me know about that decision too, I thought.
Tom at US Key Service was called next...not only was he slightly LESS expensive than the other "experts" but THE NEXT DAY I called him up at 8:00 AM, we set up an appt for between 12 to 2 PM and he promptly & professionally arrived and with all the keys in stock, had 2 keys ready for me in about an hour, all completely programmed and working perfectly! I got 2 keys (one flip key & one valet key) from him for slightly less than the no-show locksmiths, who sounded much less knowledgeable than Tom & had accents so thick, I could barely understand, were able to do just ONE key...but still never showed up! Tom's the man; I should have called him first and saved myself a few hours of calling around the VW dealerships and locksmiths and getting only disappointment and frustration in return. Grade A all the way for US Key Service!

Laura was great. Answered her phone right away. Was able to come within a couple hours (was a non-emergent situation). She explained everything that she was doing and why and gave me some safety tips. Very professional and comfortable with her in my home.

BEWARE!!! Wish I'd seen FB posts before scheduling this company to rekey locks for my BFF. They quoted $19 per lock (which I researched and found to be a pretty standard rate), but when the tech arrived he gave her some song and dance about 6 pin cylinders and charged $45 per lock (which I also researched and found to be hogwash). Total price was more than three times what was quoted. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY, they are unscrupulous and take advantage of unsuspecting customers. Feel really bad about trying to help someone out and having such a lousy outcome.

This is one of those days where something needed to go right. Well in this case it was Speedway locksmiths that made that happen! I called them and needed some locks added in my office ASAP. They made it happen and the overall experience was great! Will definitely use them for any and all Locksmith needs.

The owner James charged me 125.00 to repair a lock, that he could not repair. I purchased a new one for 60.00. This business it crooked. Use any other locksmith except for this one.

The telephone dispatcher at Green Locksmith AZ (480-522-6265) quoted $130 for a new electronic car key replacement (with key programming) and a $25 trip charge to total $155. The locksmith who arrived 30 minutes late for the appointment stated he would charge $50 less than the dealership price. He then produced an invoice in the amount of $300 for a new electronic key plus a $25 trip charge. With the locksmith listening, I called the car dealer who quoted $54 for a new electronic car key and $130 to program the key for a total of $184.The locksmith argued that he would not give me the $50 discount which he originally offered because the dealerships are "breaking the market". I told him that I would not pay more than the original quote of $130. He then attempted to extort a $25 trip charge from me. No service was rendered and I had not agreed to pay a trip fee. He insisted repeatedly that I must pay a $25 trip fee. I requested him to leave my property but he refused to leave without payment. I instructed him that I would not pay a fee for non-service and told him that he is trespassing. While leaving he said: "Good luck staying alive", which I consider a threat.

This is by far the most unprofessional business I have ever encountered. Everything about my experience with Valley Key Connection was terrible. I was told a price over the phone and then when Nick finally arrived (2 hours late) after making several different excuses, I was told a completely different price that was almost twice as much as the price I was told over the phone. Nick took advantage of my situation and absolutely cannot be trusted! Beware!

I called this locksmith on Tuesday morning, explained that I needed a mobile locksmith to pick my travel trailer lock and make replacement keys. They said no problem, they would send out a locksmith. Quoted me around $60... Ok fine... When the "locksmith" got to my house he looked confused, had to text his supervisor... He then told me it was going to be $129! Just to open the door! He didn't have any capabilities to make keys! He was not a mobile locksmith. I told him I would absolutely not pay $129, that he should leave.
He then demanded that I pay the service call fee... Ok... But you came unprepared to do the thing that I asked you to do! Make keys! He couldn't cut a single house key if he wanted to... Anyway I'm pretty ticked at this point. Paid him to get him out of there, then called the company back. They took my number said the manager would get back to me to resolve the fiasco the next day. No call back yet. So manager, if you are reading this, please call me... Let's resolve this! Service was on 7/28/15 at 3pm...
