Excellent! This company works on cars which I didn't find in any of the categories on Angie's list. So I had to hunt them down as not all of the Locksmith's work on automobiles. Awesome work fixing the keys and lock and while they were in the door I had them replace the actuator so the key fob would lock all the doors. Way cheaper than the dealer and faster too. Jason the office manager and the team provided excellent customer service. Thanks.
Description of Work: Repair door lock and cut new keys. Replaced actuator in door mechanism.

Our car was stolen from the employee lot at my husband's workplace 4 weeks ago. We had given up on seeing it again, but the police located it about 30 miles away after three weeks. We had to pay towing and impound fees and have it towed from the lot to our home, but it looked largely intact, minus the license plates, sound system, and belongings. The weasel who had stolen it had switched out the ignition so our key would not work. Estimates to replace the ignition ranged from $175-$300. Jason at AA Express was prompt at getting back to us with an estimate, and was also the only business to alert me that our AAA membership would save us $100 on the job, making it the most competitive. Long story short, because of some other factors (we'd have to pay for new plates, have it towed again to the locksmith, and we had no guarantee it would start even with the new ignition) we have elected to cut our losses and donate the vehicle. But if I ever find myself in a situation needing the assistance of a locksmith for auto-related problems, I will remember AA Express.

The gentleman showed up within 10 minutes of my call ; I had locked my keys in the car. Within no time he had the car unlocked and even offered to make a duplicate set of keys for me-- on the spot. And, though I paid a higher price because I had called outside of their normal hours, he did not charge me for the set of keys. All in all, I was very impressed and would not hesitate to use this company in the future.
Description of Work: Unlocked my vehicle.

I couldn't get my trunk lock to work and went to Express Locksmiths. They ordered the part and I was all set to have a new lock installed when I received a call that the lock was ready. It took 30 minutes and they were able to make new keys that worked perfectly and it cost me only $35 instead of the $125-$140 it would have cost to replace the lock. I am totally satisfied with doing business with Express Locksmiths and would recommend them in a heartbeat
Description of Work: I have an older Toyota and needed to get my trunk lock repaired or replaced. Express was able to make new keys for the trunk and the ignition which allowed me to get back into using my trunk

Our car key was stolen recently and AAA Express Locksmith recoded our existing keys so that the stolen key cannot start our car. They explained all our options to us so that we can decide what would be the best choice for us, and performed the work right then and there. Staff is friendly and competent.

They are great. My minister, who is also a parttime locksmith, recommended them. One of the issues you need to consider when you hire a locksmith is their trustworthiness. These guys have been in business under the same sign for decades. They have the most current equipment. (I didn't have to provide the key because they could look up the code from my VIN number and burn new masters.) When I got home, I got a call from one of the owners. They had checked their math and concluded that they overcharged me $3.00. Now, that is trustworthiness.

Key's to both of our Honda CRV and Honday Odyssey were stolen during a burglary, so we had to get the vehicle's reprogramed. We decided to get one of the vehicles completely re-keyed (because we use it for business). They were friendly, efficient, and did excellent work. The complete re-key of our Odyssey was about $400.00 less than going to the dealer. They re-programed the Odyssey key and fob we had, and we purchased a new one. The CRV was reporgramed and we purchased an additional key. I'd recommend them to anyone.
Description of Work: Purchased new key, reprogramed existing key and vehicle. Also completely re-program and rekeyed a second vehicle with new key fob.

Not only was the work well done and the price very reasonable, but the level of professionalism is like nothing I have experienced before. I think a lot of folks are concerned (or should be concerned) about handing keys to their home or possessions over to a stranger. I was pretty confident that this was not going to be an issue with a firm that has been in business as long as AA Express and whom AAA uses for their emergency calls. When I got home after doing business with them, I received a phone call from AA Express. He wanted to inform me that he had inadvertantly overcharged me $3.00. Now that's the kind of guy you can trust with your keys!
Description of Work: I purchased new keys for my 1995 Subaru Legacy Brighton Station Wagon. I provided an old key, but because of their computer database system, they do not need to use it. They have factory specs for these keys. Work was performed while waiting.

Finished in a matter of minutes. When I got home, I got a call from Tim. He called to let me know he had overcharged me $3.00. How often does that happen? Also, he gave me a lot of good, local advise on whom to use for other kinds of locksmith jobs, like home reentry. Another locksmith told me that AA Express Locksmiths has the AAA contract for auto locksmithing. They appear to be among the best and have been around 20-30 years.
