Report
So I bought a 2015 vehicle that only came with one key fob. Me being a cost saving fellow I bought the extra fob online (exact same as my factory fob) only to find out almost everyone I called said they couldn't program it for me if I didn't buy the fob from them. One guy was very rude within 30 secs after finding out I had bought it online. I had the same thing happen with my HVAC Unit at home .
The guys at A1 Locksmith were the only one in town that would program the multifunction key fob as well as made the emergency physical key for me. All on a Saturday. Very friendly. It's good to know that there are still businesses that actually will work on something they didn't sell you.

Report
I was down to 1 non-working fob key for my car. Emailed and got a response right away. Scheduled appointment and was in and out with a key that worked perfectly.
Polite, friendly, and helpful, I'd recommend these guys to anyone looking for a Locksmith.

Very good and prompt service I needed my key for a Honda Accord copied and programmed. I called to see when I could get it done and we made an appointment. The service was quick and he was very polite. The price was very good and the key worked perfectly.

Very quick! Called at 8AM and they were there by 8:30! It only took 10 minutes and I was all fixed up. Had the best price out of 5 other locksmiths in the area. Will definitely use A1 for any related needs!

My son and I were in a bind traveling to pick up his car and could not locate the car keys at our home in NC. He was using a vehicle for work from Nashville and was returning it. I called on our way to Nashville in the middle of the night and Sam asked for the VIN number and it was all taken care of just a few hours after we arrived. The hardest part was getting his credit card to go through in the parking garage because there was little cell phone coverage. I highly recommend for service and price.

They were quick and hassle free. I had a master and lock out key within 2 hours of calling them. They even jumped my car battery for free to check the key. I would definitely recommend these guys for efficient and fast service. Thanks!

Great service!! I had a key broken off in my ignition for a while (like 2 years) and today it decided not to work any longer. A-1 locksmith came out and got the rest of my key out of the ignition, made a new key using the old broken key. Then used the key code from the ignition to make an exact replica of the original key. He programmed it for my truck and it works like new again. Would highly recommend!

I found them online and they were the most helpful. I called my dealership and it was beyond expensive. The dealership charged about $300 and I got the same keys for half that. They were super quick and the most friendly. I wish I knew about them a long time ago when I had to get my doors rekeyed. Come to them and they will help you for sure. Greatest Service!!!!

Such a great company to use! My car keys were stolen and we were scared someone would try and steal my car using the keys. I was able to find my spare key but come to find out Honda gave me a spare key that didn't work with my car so of course I was disappointed and angry. I called around to other places to see how much it would cost to have a new key made and my car reprogrammed. A-1 Locksmith gave me such a great deal whereas other places were charging almost double the piece.
We are so lucky and blessed they were able to come out within 30 mins and finish within 30 mins. Thank you for doing such a great job and relieving some stress off our shoulders. I would recommend this company to anyone who is locked out of their car or keys are stolen or lost.

A1 Locksmith is a lifesaver. They came out to make a key for my car in 30 minutes. It took less than 15 mins to create the key. Their service is impeccable!!!
Walter Chisholm
I had a amazing experience I called Osman from A1 an he was out an started getting the job done in ten minutes gave me a great deal due to my long history with working with them
Erica Howse
A 1 Locksmith great! I give 10 stars if I could. The man was so friendly I lost my Keys to my push start. He came out very quick and I was back riding with 10 minutes. A 1 was the cheapest I have could find to cut a key for a push start! Try them they want fail you
Karen Suzanne Knust
The young man that got my keys out of my car today was a gift. Nineteen and so pleasant and personable! Not always what we see in our young people these days. The nice talk we had made the $50 fee not seem so bad! Then I called the A-1 office to tell them, and I was just as much impressed. This is a GREAT company that I will use again if I need to, and have already started recommending to others!
