  • Should I do the same key to all my doors?Having one key for all your doors is definitely convenient. Imagine having to carry multiple keys with you and trying to remember which key opens which door lock! What if you have more than one lock on the door?

Vitali Was a great help. I had found his information on yelp after calling plenty of well-known companies that either didn’t call me back or didn’t give me the time of day. I really appreciate all of his help

Phenomenal guy, phenomenal service. Best prices in town and veteran discount! I must have called 5 or 6 different companies and Prime us half the others. Call this guy. Also, small business, shop local!

I had an exceptional experience with Prime Locksmith, and I'm delighted to leave a positive review. The locksmith was not only highly professional but also an excellent communicator. He took the time to explain everything thoroughly, ensuring I understood how things worked. What truly stood out was his genuine approach in helping me save money. When my computer wouldn't connect to his scanners, he correctly diagnosed the issue by suggesting it might be something as simple as a blown fuse. This advice turned out to be spot-on, and I was able to resolve the problem quickly on my own. Furthermore, the locksmith went above and beyond by returning the same night to provide the service I needed. He understood the urgency of my situation as I relied on my car for work the next morning. His pricing was fair and transparent, and he patiently explained every step of the process. In a world where excellent customer service is sometimes hard to come by, this locksmith is a true stand-up guy. I genuinely appreciate his professionalism and dedication to ensuring his customers' satisfaction. I highly recommend Prime Locksmith for anyone in need of reliable and fairly priced locksmith services.

Great experience with this locksmith. He was upfront and honest about whether he could copy a broken key, the price, and his schedule. I had called over 30 locksmiths and Vitali stood out as the most trustworthy, communicative, and helpful. A previous locksmith actually failed to copy my key, wasting my time and money, and increasing my anxiety. My van is my home, so I’d been basically unable to leave home for 2 days. Anyone who calls a locksmith is in a position of desperation, and some locksmiths will exploit that. Vitali is not one of them. Highly recommended and appreciated

Vitali went above and beyond when I needed a locksmith, after THREE different local locksmiths couldn’t unlock my trunk, Vitali showed up early in the morning, opened the trunk within minutes, and even drove to my work later on to make a key copy for me. He’s a trustworthy, professional, honest, family’s man. The pricing was also unbeatable.
