I was really impressed with Star Mobil Locksmith Services. It took about 15 minutes from the time I called until they showed up and started making a replacement key. The techs were super nice and the key they made was actually better than OEM quality (OEM was also available). The whole process was quick and I was back on the road fast. Highly recommend.

I was extremely overcharged for pairing a key fob to my car. $389. It takes only five minutes to do. That’s double what you can expect at a dealership (which don’t have the most reasonable rates to begin with).

On top of that an $80 service call charge and $70 dollars to “jump start” my car, which was totally unnecessary. The battery was a bit low so he offered to attach to his battery just to make sure the car started to test the key pairing. I had no idea he was going to charge for that and if I had I would have used my own cars because the work was done at my house.

So I paid over $500 for about an hour of work, including the 30-40 minutes driving time to and from my place.

I filed a compliant but was simply told there was nothing they could do because I signed the receipt. Yes, I admit that was my mistake. It doesn’t matter if the prices or services are unreasonable because I signed it. Fair enough I guess.

Overall, just a $500 lesson in what not to do when dealing with these kinds of services.

Shawn was awesome getting my keys out of my locked car. It was a Friday evening, after 5pm, 95°. He came over within 15 min (it’s a small town). It was a tough job, I have tinted windows and a couple with sun reflectors on one side and windshield. Using a variety of tools, he didn’t give up and between he and son, they were able to get the keys. Nice guy 😊!!

Since Dennis passed away, the service is going downhill. Cesar does not keep his word on appointment dates or times. Says one thing, then never shows up or bothers to call. Service needs to improve overall. Definitely not like before, changing for the worse……
