I called today and Brian took my call at 9:30am on the Friday before Memorial Day weekend. My daughters fob broke off from the key and she misplaced the fob. Her car was towed to our mechanic because we thought there was a different issue with the car. Brian said that he would be able to take care of it and that he would call me on his way to make a new key. He called at 10:15 to say that he was almost there and he called at 10:45 to say that he was done.

Very impressed with response time, communication and quick turnaround time. With so much uncertainty around her having her car for the weekend, Brian came to the rescue and made a new key quicker than I had expected. I will definitely recommend ekeys4cars in North Andover to family and friends and call them again if I am ever in a pinch and need a key. I would strongly recommend this company for your locksmith needs. I don't typically write reviews but I had to in this case. I am extremely happy with the service I received today. Thanks!

I was a walk in. After talking to a few other e-key providers I was looking at $300 which is a must when it makes your car go. They had a phenomenal price(!), they accommodated me on the spot even though they had a bunch going on. They explained everything and more that I didn't know about my car, and I was out of there with a backup working remote (5 button) in like 12 minutes! And the staff was very down to earth and friendly. I'd recommend to anyone, especially if you're on a budget.
