⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I lost my Chevy keys and needed them reprogrammed — this locksmith was amazing! He arrived quickly, got the job done in just 20 minutes, and the price was very affordable. Super knowledgeable and professional, he even explained where I can place my key in case my fob battery ever dies. Fast, friendly, and educational — highly recommend!

He was amazing. Very kind and very knowledgeable. I had lost my key to my Maserati and he recoded and replaced my key in under 15 minutes and for a dirt cheap price. If you don’t use Prime Locksmith you’re simply just not using your brain!

I had an outstanding experience with Prime Locksmith and can honestly say they deserve every bit of a five-star review. I lost my motorcycle keys and needed help quickly. From the moment I called, their customer service was friendly, professional, and reassuring. They understood my situation and promised to send someone out right away—and they did not disappoint. The technician arrived in no time at all and was prepared with the tools and knowledge to get the job done. He worked quickly, explained what he was doing, and had me back on the road faster than I expected. What impressed me most was the price. I was anticipating a huge bill for emergency locksmith work, but Prime Locksmith charged me a very fair, honest, and affordable rate. It’s rare these days to find a company that provides fast service, high quality, and affordability all in one, but Prime Locksmith definitely delivered. I will absolutely be calling them again if I ever need locksmith services in the future. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of fast, reliable, and reasonably priced help. Thank you, Prime Locksmith, for turning a stressful day into a smooth experience!

I needed a second key fob for a new car we purchased. Vitali responded quickly, was straightforward with services offered, had transparent pricing and was very accommodating with my schedule. He provided me with a new, fully programmed key fob and the properly cut aux key that goes in it. I am extremely happy and impressed with his customer service and highly recommend him!
