Rescue Lock & Key

This guy is the bomb! Needed a new trunk and door key for a 1978 Chevy Malibu classic. Wife lost only key. He came and redid key in less than an hour. Fair price and quality work. I will not use anyone else for my lock and key services.

Bill was awesome! My husband misplaced his one and only car key and he was able to come after I got off work at 5pm the day I called him. He arrived on time, he explained the whole process from start to finish, and worked efficiently to complete the work in a hour. He’s super friendly and very knowledgeable. When he was finishing up the job, my neighbor had approached me and stated they found a key on the ground in the area that my husband’s car was parked and turned it into our apartment’s leasing office. Go figure. Bill already had made me two keys at my request so that I have a spare in situations like this. But after possibly finding our lost key, he gave me the second key he made at no additional charge. Of course, I comped him with a tip. I am very pleased with his customer service and his prices are reasonable & competitive. He’s definitely a locksmith that I would recommend to my family and friends. Thank you Bill!!!

Best service money can buy. Very reasonable price and very knowledgeable. Didn’t have a FOB and bought one from ebay and Bill was able to get the key cut perfectly and the buttons on the new key to work flawlessly. highly recommend to anyone and everyone. Always open and comes to you A+ service.

This guy’s as good as it gets, lost my electronic Honda Key and really needed a spare, pricing is the best you can ever get. Figured I’d write him a review since I just realized I need him again. He’ll cut keys that you buy online, 1^st try, and does a perfect job. Definitely would recommend as my first choice locksmith!

Bill is awesome. He provides top-​notch work with excellent customer service. I couldn’t ask for more.

Bill left my house just about 5 minutes ago. He got here on time, explained the process of removing the piece of the key that broke off in my boyfriends motorcycle ignition.
His pricing is more than reasonable compared to others, and he is super friendly! The piece of key that was in the ignition was about half-​an-​inch long, and was stuck all the way down. Bill was able to remove it in just about an hour, and made a spare key for us at no additional cost!
I would definitely recommend him, and will be using him again if I ever need this kind of service.
Thank you Bill!

Great service! Bill arrived quickly, was efficient, and was very personable. He explained to me the type of chip that was in my key, how the reprogramming works (and why you need to have ALL keys present), and gave me a great price.
Overall A+ quality work and customer service, I highly recommend him for anything you need done.

Cant say better things about Bill over at Rescue Lock & Key. In a moment of stupidy, I lost the key to my car’s locked glove compartment, and Bill was able to quickly resolve my problem and alleviate my concerns. A huge thank you to Bill and everyone there at Rescue Lock & Key.

Ok so let me start by saying that if you need a replacement key for your car this is the guy (Bill) to go to. He really knows his stuff and is extremely friendly. He is mobile so he goes literally all over thd San Diego area. The hardest part for md was trying to get a hold of him. But other then that he made me 2 2005 Honda Acoord keys no problem. My mechanic and a locksmith place on Claremont Mesa Blvd recommended this guy to me. Completely worth it.

Bill was so nice and helpful. Smart too!!! Saved me lots of money!!! Right place to go!

The key to my Infiniti broke in half and it takes a bit more than just making the key since it has a transponder chip in it to allow the car t start. I had called around to get a few quotes and ended up going with Bill and Rescue Lock & Key, not only did he charge me less than half of what I was being quoted elsewhere but he got the job done in 15 minutes. I never knew someone could make a copy just by looking at it and figuring out the cuts, but it makes sense when you have 20 years of experience and are a true craftsman. Glad I picked Rescue Lock & Key, I highly recommend them.

I have nothing but GREAT things to say about Bill and Rescue Lock & Key! He was recommended by my mechanic, since my door locks were not working remotely, or even when I tried using the key in the door lock.
He ordered the parts and came to my house the next day… it took a good 2 ½ hrs, but he got the job done, and got it done right! He also re-​programmed 2 keys and the valet key. He really took the time to explain everything he did. He even told me how to solve another issue, and I’m trusting him to fix the motor for my window.
He stuck to the quoted price, and did not charge a penny more.
I am a single female, and really feel like Bill was extremely honest, knowledgeable and made me feel so comfortable with the work that he did.
I will recommend him with NO HESITATION to anyone I meet! I even took plenty of his business cards so I can easily refer him.
Thank you, Bill, for a job well done!

My ignition key in my 2003 Honda Pilot would not turn (very common problem). Bill showed up on time and did an awesome on fixing my ignition key on my 2003 Honda Pilot. Was able to replace the bent and worn wafers in the ignition lock cylinder, cut new keys and programmed them. Completed the job in about 1 hour. Very reasonably priced as well. Outstanding service, highly recommend.

Bill is absolutely the best locksmith in San Diego County. I was referred to him from my home locksmith. He referred me to Bill and told me he does not refer out business to anyone except Bill at Rescue Lock and Key when I lost my first set of car keys in over 15 years. He showed up promptly, cut my key and programmed it under 30 mins. Wow… A true professional and a class act… You will not regret doing business with Bill… Thank you Bill

Awesome!!! He got there right when he said he was going to without us having to wait around for him. He made it quick and easy to get us off to my sons lacrosse game in time! Also, super affordable! So glad it didn’t cost me an arm and a leg to get my keys back! Great service!

I picked Bill after shopping around on Unilocal.My boyfriend and I just purchased a car on ebay. The car came with only 1 cracked and bent key. To top it off it was a duplicate. Bill was the cheapest and he came to you. I talked with him in the morning and before i had to go back to work by 5 i had my new set of perfect cut keys. Bill worked fast and explained the whole process. He even had time to talk to me about the car! What a great guy and great service. Will definitely keep his number handy and refer him to any family and friends in need.

Bill is great! Fast service and good prices! He made a new key for me on site in a random starbucks parking lot with fast and friendly service. His five star rating is well deserved!

Bill was great. I purchased a used vehicle that only came with a key that was cut incorrectly (worked on the ignition but did not unlock the door), and no remote key.
Bill came out to my house first thing following morning (a Saturday) after I called him, and had me all set up with a correct key, as well as a new remote key in no time. He also was informative about the process and how the various new chip keys and keyless remotes work on the newer vehicles.
He was extremely reasonable, and you can tell from talking with him that he cares about his customers and is very fair. We made sure to ask for several business cards because we were so impressed by him, we wanted to make sure we could refer him to others.

Bill to my rescue. Unfortunately, I recently was a victim of theft which prompted me to have my car re-​keyed. I found his information on Unilocal and called him early on a Sunday. First of all, this guy impressed me by just how he answered my questions over the phone. He gave me several options to choose from never up-​selling me on anything I didn’t want or need. He was at my house in less than an hour and was finished with the job within 15 minutes. I will definitely keep his number for future reference and will recommend him to all my friends. Thanks Bill for your help. You’re the best!

Great service. Best prices in town! I broke my IS300 key and he was able to fix it, no problem. Bill is quick and cares about his customer service. I highly recommend him :)
