Charles is hardworking, persistent, and very friendly! I am so thankful for his expertise and ability to help me within 24 hours. He was able to make me a high security motorcycle key for my 2019 Honda CB300R from basically nothing- not only that, but he did most of the work in the dark! I lost my only key to my motorcycle and he was able to get me up and running so that I could ride again instead of having an giant, expensive paperweight. Charles also does great job explaining what he is doing and how the parts work if you are a curious person like me. I 100% recommend him and will hire again

Great experiences. Had a 2017 RAV4 that he had reprogrammed and cut in :15 mins and I was back on the road. He suggested programming the key first before cutting it just in case the new Smart key was bad, if he cut it first then I wouldn’t be able to return the Smart key. Didn’t think about that. I would highly recommend Aardvark Affordable Locksmith!

I guess he was delisted right after I found him on Google, but he charged $60 for programming a smart key and cutting the emergency key, which seemed like a fair price. I drove over to him.

I called Charles to come out and take a look at my girlfriend’s 2016 Toyota Corolla because she was having issues with the ignition and the key not wanting to turn. Charles was responsive and was able to fit us into his schedule pretty last minute. He did a great job and was super informative. My girlfriend is so happy she can drive her car again. We both highly recommend him for your automotive locksmith needs! Thanks again!

Charles has helped me with smart and remote key fobs for several vehicles. Once, one failed shortly after I got it, and Charles replaced it with zero hassles. Very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. I have recommended him to other, and heard similar feedback.

This is the type of small business that I am proud to support. I will call Charles for any future locksmith needs and I will gladly recommend his business to my family or friends.
I recently bought a new used car and it only came with one key. I found AAL on Google, based on other reviews I decided to call him first, I'm glad I did.
Charles gave me options to be sure I would get exactly what I needed and not spend any extra $, even saving me the housecall fee by giving the option to go to his place.
He programmed the electronic key quickly and cut the emergency key perfectly

The BEST! If you need to get another set of keys for your car, go to Aardvark. Charles is truly a professional having over 20 years experience working in the business. It took him only 15 minutes to program 2 sets of keys and I was on my way. Look no further if you need a Lock Smith. Call Aardvark!

I called around for a bent auto key that needed to be replaced but unlike others, Charlie offered to clone my transponder key for a new one and copied the chip/code to the new one without having to reprogram a new key and even straighten the bent key as backup, all at half the cost it would be elsewhere and done on short notice. Aardvark is by far the best and one-stop shop for all locksmith services, no need to shop around!

Great job! He gave the option to meet him on his route to save on the trip charge. His quote for a Honda key was accurate and very competitive. Expert service. The van is nice, new, clean and organized. Even with this Corona Flu, he took very safe precautions and disinfected everything before handing it to me. It was a pleasure to be served by a real pro and an interesting guy to chat with while he worked. A+++++

The transponder key even has a plastic "Handle" similar to the real Honda key for hundreds less than the Honda Stealership quoted!

I just finished getting some keys cut and programmed for my 2006 Honda Accord. Charles was extremely professional, courteous, knowledgeable and, like his company name suggests, affordable. When I first contacted him, he got back to me in less than ten minutes with a quote, which was a better price than four other locksmiths I contacted. He demonstrated a keen expertise in this field and I would never go to anyone else for my locksmith needs.

I highly recommended AardvRk Affordable Lock. When i called to get a quote, i provided incorrect vehicle information and was quoted a price. It turned out the vehicle was older which meant the cost was less. I could have paid the original amount quoted and not known the difference. However, the honest gentleman gave me the great surprise of the lower price. He was fast. Great human being, too. A+++++

Met Charles in a time crunch and he accommodated me the next day. I needed 2 remote key pads programmed, don't waste your time on the cheap look alike from amazon. Charles has the right stuff and is the real deal. It's comforting to know that there are are still independent craftsman available that are value priced in comparison to other shops or the dealer. He was less expensive to meet him at his place but he is a mobile operation if you need that level of service. I'll be using Charles at Ardvark in the future!

Chuck has been great to us! He lives in our neighborhood and when he was at my house, a couple of my neighbors grabbed him for some little things they needed done. He also saved my bacon on my commercial space.

What a great experience dealing with Aardvark. I bought a used Nissan 350Z and only had the one key and remote. I purchased another set, not realizing the process needed to code the key to the car, certainly not a simple cut and done. Called Charles out of the blue on a Saturday afternoon after a google search nearby. He said he could meet with me and program the new key to the car. Well he did, and went beyond to even help with programming the new remote to the car, for a very nominal price. Great experience.

Chuck is a great locksmith. We have used him for eight years as a commercial real estate firm and he has always gone above and beyond to help out our tenants with property problems and emergencies. He not only does rekeys for us, he also completes door repairs. Highly recommend his services, his quality of work and price can't be beat.

Worst experience ever. 3 days of run around. Instead of just saying he cant handle the job, he just wasted my time with excuses why he couldnt.
Didnt return text explaining what was going on with project. Just left and went to next. No call. No text. No.email.
I will never recommend this non professional

Charles was great. He was in fact affordable, but more importantly, did quality work fast and is a genuinely good guy. Very helpful and provides great customer service, something a few of the other vendors I contacted couldn't even provide over the phone!
