There are great need some lock rekeying stoped in after work and they had me out the door and on my way fast would always recommend them for any lock services car home thanks Jacob
Great friendly service. Reasonable price.
Jacob saved the day, first my original keyless entry stopped working even after new batteries. I got nothing. So I purchased after market for my 2008 Town and Country van, I received them from Amazon which included how to self program them, after trying several times, somehow they deactivated my old ones so I had nothing plus my vehicle was dead.... So I called Jacob and he drove over reprogram my new set, and ended up draining my battery so he helped me jump my van and it started right up!!!! Thank you for helping me, a true professional and made sure I was taken care of....*****

Amazing service, totally professional, on time, and quick work. Josh is the best! We will be sticking with this company for all of our lock work. #1 and super!!!
I had locked my keys in the car and AAA sent this company to retrieve my keys. The wait was a very LITTLE amount of time and I was treated very well by the gentleman that opened the car for me. He informed me that his company can make a new key and provided me with a card. I called the office and was treated very well and quoted the amounts for the key types that were available for my car.
Fast and friendly!!!
I jumped in the pool with my electronic key and it stopped working. I called the Dodge dealership that I purchased the truck from and they wanted to charge me $198 for the key and $60 to program it. So instead I took it to Preferred Locksmith and they saved me about $100. Friendly service, I will definitely use them for now on.
Dependable and Honest
Fantastic people, this month thet rescued me several times and are programming keys for me!
Very friendly and fairly priced, highly recommended.
Quick and excellent service.
Was here in record time. Door opened in seconds. Great service
I locked myself out of my vehicle with my dog in the car. I called Preferred Locksmith and he was there within 30 minutes, and had my vehicle unlocked in less than five minutes!! I would not hesitate to call this company again. The person was prompt and pleasant and very professional.
Friendly, helpful staff. Replaced a front door handle and deadbolt in short time
I've used this company twice already for Lock service and all I can say is they are incredible. What you are going to get from these guys is fast and friendly service at a very reasonable price. On top of that they know what they are doing and they make sure your issue is completely resolved before they even finish. I highly recommend these guys without a doubt.
Perfect! Perfect Service, great people!!

Called 2 hours ago and Doug is already out the door. Our lock problem was solved right away. Doug was friendly, efficient, and knowledgable. Cost was reasonable. Would recommend Preferred Locksmith, anytime.
They are very friendly and fast. I come to them for all my keys
Fast, good, fair. Only guys I call.

The lady was very friendly, informative and honest. I will be using them for any of my locksmith needs. Thank you :). Went in to have my key fob replaced, turns out it was just the battery. Which my Fil replaced but obviously with another dud.
Good guys. Took care of my lock issue and priced me fairly.

Great service, and fast.
100% awesome I lost ALL my keys... I only had 1 key to my jeep of course it's a chip key too.. so I figured a huge price and painful amount of money... BUT these guys are awesome 3 keys and fobs under 400$! That's 2 keys and fobs more then other competitors!!! Thank you so much, they also arrived within 3 hours! Same day service. Was perfect thank goodness I had a interview tomorrow

Very nice and did the job quickly
Excellent Service.
I called for lockout service and the guy was there within 15 minutes and had my truck open in like 30 seconds. Very impressive. I will use this company again
We were stuck outside of our car and they arrived not even 10 minutes later! The man was very nice to us, but we didn’t catch his name. He has black hair and a beard, his muscles were well toned. I would give 100 stars if I could and will definitely be recommending this business in the future.
Very quick to show up. Handled my need incredibly quickly. Friendly & polite.
Amazing service! Amanda and Jacob went above and beyond to help me. I highly recommend Preferred locksmith 5 GOLD STARS 🤩
I had locked my keys in my work truck Sunday evening and Preferred Locksmith didn’t hesitate to come out and help me out. He arrived quicker than I expected and was a cool dude. Had my door unlocked before I could explain why I’m an idiot. Haha. Great experience, Great Company. Glad I could support a local business!
I was very happy with their service. Price was reasonable and they did a great job duplicating my truck key. The young woman at the counter is a total pro and friendly.
Josh had done some work for me in early and late 2022 and I was having issues with one of the locks. I called him late in the day and he came first thing the next morning. Turned out he didn’t install the lock that had begun to fail but serviced it anyway. All his locks are quality, and his workmanship is solid. Very rare these days! Josh is very cordial and very friendly. Highly recommend!
We had the key to our Jeep stolen. Preferred Locksmith disabled the stolen key, reprogrammed the spare, and created an additional spare all for $100 less than any competitor within a 50 mile radius. They were knowledgeable, professional, and fast. Will definitely do business with them again!

I called and needed someone to help me with getting my keys out of my car after locking them in , and they were in the ignition so I went on line and after calling several company's ,I called Preferred and they had somebody out here with in10 minutes. It just so happened that Jacob was on his way to another job and I was on the way. After he got here he had the door opened with in less than a minute. I would recommend this company to anybody that has issues with the locks. I also want to mention that the lady that answered the phone was very helpful and professional . I would have mentioned her name but I forgot to ask but the date of my service call was on 10/20/2023 around 9:45am. I also want to mention that there service call was very affordable and they did not take advantage of me in my situation . Thank You, Yours Truly Bill Busby

Needed new locks and deadbolts for the house, called them and explained the house (mobile) and they got special locks ordered, showed up on time and were quick with the work. Definite recommend to them!
After calling several other locksmiths without success, he answered the phone and came immediately. So appreciated because the customer was just released from the hospital and in a rock and a hard spot. Thank you so much! I couldn’t be more grateful!

Thats a little scary ahaha never trust nobody. All these people are in on my families death trying to claim all my dads and my stuff working together maybe with y'all as well and alot of other's.
