A-AAAuto Locksmith

Alex came to our rescue twice yesterday… first to make a hard to replace key for a 1997 Cadillac; second, he came back out, after going home for the night, to open the door a short while later after my husband locked the key in it! If you need a car key, or any key, Alex is good natured, sweet, kind and most skilled at his work.

The sweetest owner. Alex is great and I will continue to tell people about this location when a locksmith is needed.

I had a broken key in the hatch of my car, and called this place up to see if they could get it out and make a new one for me. They asked some basic questions about the make and model and said they could do it and had the blank key to replace the broken one. I told them I would call them back in about 30 minutes to find a time. Once I called them back, I spoke with the technician and he told me that if I could get the key out myself, I could bring it to a place and have them create a new one for me. The crazy thing was it wasn’t even his shop he sent me to, but one closer to the house. I did end up getting it out myself and taking it to the closer shop that fixed me up a new key.
I realize A-​AAAuto Locksmith didn’t necessarily fix my situation themselves, but to give me the cheapest and most efficient route even if it didn’t include them making any money off of me really made me come on here and give them a 5 star rating. That is the type of excellent customer service that makes people use your business even more.
If you need a locksmith, don’t hesitate to call this place. Top notch people!

My husband broke his key in the door and we needed to get it fixed! I read the previous raving review on Unilocal and decided since it was close to home I had nothing to lose. I went down, gave them the key I bought on the Internet and he quoted me a price and said each additional key I had that needed to get cut and programed would cost 70 and 20, he said he needed to be with the car so that he could ensure it was the right fit. He followed home and did it all as well as the 2 extra extra keys I had and charged me much lower than the quoted price, it should have been 110, but I only paid 80!
I was happy the keys worked, he was super nice, great prices! I totally recommend him and would use him again if need be :)

I had a really bad day… I had barely made enough money from my restaurant job to pay off my bills due the next day, when I ended up getting my debit card stolen during work and incurred $ 200 of fraudulent charges just minutes after I had left my shift to go to class in the afternoon.
Things went from bad to worse that night as I headed home from school, my car key had broken as I turned the ignition, leaving a fragment of key stuck in the ignition cylinder. Luckily I was able to drive and I stopped by the local locksmith on the way home to see if they could help with my problem, I had merely asked them for a quote on how much a broken key removal and they couldn’t give me a straight answer or a quote, at this point I couldn’t help but feel that they were trying to hustle me, saying that other locksmiths would charge me much more for this service.
Frustrated I went to home to call other local locksmiths that night for a quote (using Unilocal of course!), when I came across the listing for «Adams Avenue Lock and Key» shop, I called them and spoke to Robert who was trying to figure out exactly what I had needed, he had explained that their services didn’t extend to automotives and that they they referred those type of calls to their friend Alex, who specialized in automotive locks. I was surprised that Robert was willing to give up his business in order to refer me to his friend for the better service, it just doesn’t get any more honest than that so kudos to them as well. After hearing Robert vouch so confidently for Alex, I was convinced to give him a call, to which I was pleased that he gave me a solid quote for the service, which was significantly cheaper than the quote I initially had.
I met him at his shop, and he promptly examined my ignition cylinder and the key, he was able to fish out the key fragment in a matter of minutes. But he wasn’t finished yet, he decided to test my spare key in the ignition, and found that the key had a tendency to get stuck as he would try to start the car up. He went on solve this problem by treating it with a silicon-​based lubricant designated for car ignitions. He also gave a very thorough explanation to explain the causes for this, while he was working to make sure I was well informed of what he was doing. At this point, I was already blown away by the stellar service, but he wasn’t finished yet, he decided to take $ 5 off the quoted price that we had agreed on over the phone just on the basis that the job was «too easy». To top it all off, he replicated my car key on a sturdier and robust key designated for my Toyota, so that it would prevent any jammed ignitions or broken car keys in the future… free of charge.
I am just stunned by how great Alex’s service was. My ignition cylinder felt brand new again, and after having such a crappy day it really gave me hope to see that there were still some genuinely good people out there. I told him at the very least I would write a great review for him on Unilocal for his service at the discounted rate, to which he humbly suggested that I wrote his review under the «Adams Avenue Lock and Key» listing, as Robert had referred me to him. While there was some truth to his words, I felt that I wouldn’t be doing Alex any justice as there weren’t any reviews to his business… at least til now :)
So if you have any sort of general or automotive locksmith needs, give Alex a call! He will definitely give you the best service possible at an affordable price, you won’t regret it.
