  Mike has helped me in different car situations for a couple years now. I am beyond grateful for his work. He is the most affordable locksmith on the island. He is also super fast, focused, and professional at what he does!! Recently I completely misplaced my van key and was not even sure how long it might take to get it replaced or how difficult of a process it may be. Mike came right on time to my location and even helped jump start my car because it was sitting for a while and the battery had died. He programmed my key within minutes and very professionally calculated the exact measures for a new key to be cut. He is a very honest and good guy. I am amazed at his work and extremely grateful for not only his efficiency and diligence but also his hospitality and kindness. Mahalo again, Mike!!!!

  I’m a family man with a daughter and hate to try to leave bad reviews for anyone, but this was the absolute worst experience with any car trouble that I’ve ever had. First red flag with Mike was his rude attitude and it only got worse from there. I simply wanted a replacement key for my 1998 Toyota Camry - a job I thought would be simple for a locksmith. Instead what I got was two months of dodging my calls after he took parts from my car and made it completely immobile. I found the key I lost two days after he came and it no longer worked because he took out software that only the dealership is supposed to do. It kept getting worse and worse from there, at some points even him getting aggressive for asking him to simply fix his mistakes. Come to find out from other locksmiths and people around island that he’s notorious for his bad attitude and ditching his customers when he ruins their car. He allegedly pays people to write his good reviews so I wouldn't trust any of the good ones. I really beg anyone who’s looking at Mike to literally go to anybody because he’s a terrible locksmith and a worse person. Had me hold my phone flashlight up to my car lock for four hours while he tried to mess with it. That should have been my first indication he had no idea what he was doing. Not only did he screw up my car, he won’t even return the original parts he took from it. See the pictures for details. If anyone wants any more information on this guy I’m happy to help because no one should be screwed over like this. I went from losing a key to having to deal with a complete brick of a car for no real reason. The worst part is not only did he totally screw up my car for no reason, he offers absolutely no sympathy or accountability for his mistakes. Stay as far away from this guy as possible.
