I would highly recommend Not Your Basic Locksmith to all my friends and family in the DFW area. They are very attentive and helpful, and most importantly they get the job done in a timely manner. Prices are reasonable and definitely cheaper than going to the dealership - plus they come to you!

In April 2023, after a house fire destroyed all of our car keys, I called this locksmith to help replace them for my truck and my wifes car. They were quick to respond, but unfortunately, the new keys only worked for a couple of days before they stopped. This happened multiple times I called 13 or 14 times, and while they always came out under warranty to fix the issue, the keys just didnt hold up. Eventually, I gave up and have been using a key that works in the ignition but not on the doors. Recently, after a break-in damaged my cars lock, I went to their office and met with the owner. He was kind enough to personally come out and fix the issue on the spot, which I appreciated.

They came by and helped me with copying my key. They were fast and friendly, and they have reasonable prices as well. Other places were trying to charge over $100 just to copy my key.
