Avi is as advertised. I purchased two key fobs online for my Subaru Legacy (was not going to paid the dealer price), and Avi had them programmed within 15 minutes. Fast service, reasonable price. Highly recommend.

I lost my only key at home to my 2018 Nissan Rogue. My options were to either have it towed to the dealer or have a locksmith come to me and make a replacement fob onsite. A couple of dealers I called told me my make & model year is usually problematic when trying to program a fob so they suggested I take it to the dealer to have done. I called Avi and he told me there shouldn't be a problem and he was at my house within the hour. He programmed 2 fobs & cut the door keys for me in about 45 minutes & I was good to go. If I ever need a locksmith again, he would be the first

Very professional shop with the latest equipment, OEM parts and know how. Excellent service well below dealer pricing. The only shop in town for imports and hard to find key fobs and software. Recommended for my Volkswagens.

If you need a key..fob..ect for your vehicle Avi is the man to see. He is equipped for any vehicle. I think most people have no clue how much work goes into duplicating fob and keys. Avi has all the needed software tool etc to get the job done. In addition to being equipped he is a gentleman and very professional. It is refreshing to find a vendor who has an exceptional level of customer service. Highly recommend this company....

The first thing you will notice about Avi is how neat and organized he is. His work truck is spotless and everything in there has its own place and is always returned to its location when he's done using it. You can tell he takes immaculate care of his equipment, and he extends the same courtesy to your equipment as well. He is extremely professional, and I can honestly say once we started working together, I never had to call him back to follow up and I never felt like he wasn't going to get back to me or that I had been forgotten.

He helped me fix the key fob for my 2004 Pontiac

I am in Cincy for my daughters basketball tourney and accidentally locked my keys in my car! I called the first number I found and it was literally a call center in China...no kidding. I then researched a bit and found Automotive Key!! They rescued me from my daughter having to miss her game! Avi to the rescue!!

Avi was SO great to work with. He is super professional and helpful- makes the problem clear and provides the most logical solution. He was on time, very personable, and amazingly helpful. He met us where our car was stuck and replaced the ignition in less than an hour. I can not recommend this service enough!!

Losing your car keys can put you in a very stressful situation; especially when you're rushed to get to the hospital. With a little bit of research and the magic of (smartphones + Yelp) my boyfriend and I stumbled upon Automotive Key. All of the reviews for this company were flawless, so we decided to take a shot. Within minutes of calling, a man name Avi arrived to the rescue.

Avi, was a very personable gentleman and has over 20+ years of automotive locksmithing under his belt. Shortly after our conversation I expected him to tow my car and finish within a few hours. I WAS WRONG!

Called on a Tuesday to see if I could set up an appointment for a Thursday since he needed the vehicle to be present to program another key. He told me to call back on Thursday which I did @ 10am and left message. Called back 2 hours later and went to voicemail. I called back several time and no answer. I then had my wife call and she left a message. This is Friday and I have not heard back from him. Interesting enough is that he was going to charge me 85 to do this and my wife called the dealership and they quoted 56 and some change. Poor customer service by not allowing me to setup time when

Avi is a great guy and extremely professional. I had a very terrible experience with some other locksmith scam artist and he came out in a clearly marked van which was clean and tediously cared for. Which is something you want to see if they are showing up to you while alone. Well he partially saved the day, he cut the key and tried to program it but was unsuccessful due to Dodge and how their keys and security systems work. He couldn't program the key but even after showing up and trying different work arounds the code wouldn't take. He didn't charge me for his time and I appreciate

Leah answered my initial questions via yelp and provided a competitive quote for cutting and programming a replacement car key. Avi quickly cut and programmed my key with his state-of-the-art tools. Friendly and professional service - I highly recommend!

I lost my keys and had no spare..I quick searched the internet and found automotive-key. Avi quoted me better than four other locksmiths/dealers I spoke to so I set an appointment..He was extremely convenient, informative and personable.. He far exceeded my expectations to the point I felt compelled to create a Yelp! account and write up my first review.. I paid exactly what he quoted me on the telephone and he was right on time. He has the spirit of a small business owner and it shows in how he works and treats his customers.

Avi was a great help to me earlier this week when I misplaced my car keys and was locked out. I was in a terrible mood, after working since 6am, losing my keys, getting 2 parking tickets and eventually having to pay (a fair and good) price for cutting a new key. An earlier customer kept Avi from arriving as scheduled, but he offered me a fresh date/prune when he got there so we got off on the right foot. I was impressed by the key cutting technology. I hope I never have to use a locksmith again, but if I do, I'm calling Automotive Key!

My son lost his car keys at a rest stop while on a business trip in NY. He asked me to help him find a locksmith. I heard numerous horror stories about locksmiths ripping off customers and frankly didn't trust anyone I called for quotes. I felt like I was getting a "runaround" from everyone I called. The quotes were either way over priced, or they would give me an "estimate" and tell me they had to see my car before they could give me a final price. ( which meant that once they got there they would charge me an outrageous price) I had companies ask me for a credit card

First, I took a shot by using Automotive Key because they had no reviews on Angie's List. This was after doing all online research about how to replace keys and calling locksmiths on Angie's List. The thing that got me is Avi specializes in automotive locksmithing, Boy, I could have not been more pleased from the initial call to the keys being made to me driving away in my car. Avi answered all my questions on the phone in a personable and professional manner where I could understand. Here's the thing. I could tell from the conversation he really cared about providing me with great
