AMI Locksmith

LOOK ELSEWHERE. These guys are a scam.
I called due to a car lockout; they said it would be 15 – 20 minutes. The technician called 5 minutes later and said it would actually be 30 minutes. After 45 minutes, the technician finally showed up and charged me $ 165, despite the fact that their website says «$ 45 and up.» An extra $ 120 counts as «and up»?? For my two-​door Toyota?
I called again after the technician had left to complain about the sudden price increase. The guy on the phone said it was my fault, because «you didn’t tell us what kind of car you have, so we didn’t give you an estimate. We don’t know which tools to bring unless you tell us what kind of car you have.» WHAT? No one had asked me what kind of car I had — not the guy I spoke to when I made the initial call, and not the technician when he called with his ETA. Plus, if they need to know what kind of car I have before they can do their job, shouldn’t THEY have asked ME?
Bottom line: They will take advantage of you and jack up the price, because they know you are in a bind and have limited options. I just finished signing up for AAA so that I will never have to deal with these cheaters again.
P. S. I like that one of the positive reviews says, «Had a great experience; Mr. Jeromy was a gentleman!» And then the next positive review is from someone named Jeromy. Real stealthy job trying to boost your own Unilocal reviews, AMI.

I was VERY happy with my experience with AMI. I had locked myself out of my new place and as a renter, was concerned about damage to the structure by the locksmith. My technician was very understanding and kind, he arrived exactly at the time he said he would (it took about 25 minutes for him to reach me) and he even agreed to attempt my unorthodox method for getting inside. It took less than 5 minutes for him to get inside and unlock the front door and he charged me a very low rate for his service. He could have charged me full price for the call but instead was willing to work with me and I appreciated that level of customer service. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!

Finding good reliable services these days can be a real challenge sometimes as you know. My experience dealing with AMI was all positive I must say, from the very first time I made the phone call until the job was completed on my automobile. Mr. Jeromy is a gentleman who knows his craft well; he reflects it by being not only efficient but working with precision in mind. Yes, I’d recommend him to a friend and use his services again.

I had a really great experience with the AMI locksmith. He was able to create a second RAV4 key for me, which is tricky because of the remote lock feature and the many key types/​codes/​chip combinations Toyota has produced. The internet is littered with bad experiences getting this key made, but mine works – thanks to this guy’s skills.

Way overpriced! Waited for over an hour! Do not use this business for emergency lockouts.

First, the price that was quoted on the phone was not the price I was charged. It took over an hour for the technician to arrive (I was told it would only be 10 and after calling 45 minutes later was told I was not available when the technician arrived) and when they did arrive they were rude and indignant. What is more, the company tried to double charge me because I «did not answer my cellphone.» When I requested to speak to the technician I was told he was busy so the «not available» excuse was clearly a farce. DO NOT use this company! DO NOT give them your business. DO NOT be fooled!
