If you are looking for a real deal locksmith “look no further”. Charles is a true craftsman. He did what not a single other locksmith I called was willing to do. Get a key for my RV slam latches. He met me after hours and was willing to cut a key by hand using impressions from my locks. And then made copies of all my keys. He truly is a craftsman and not just some computer jockey who can only do what the books or YouTube tell him. He is my first call next time. Thanks again for your valuable time.
Recently bought a car from the dealer and didn’t realize the emergency keys weren’t cut. They wanted to charge typical dealership prices to cut them, but Charles was waaaaaaay more affordable. He made brand new keys without having an original to copy and was extremely fast and affordable. I will always use him going forward.
I highly recommended AardvRk Affordable Lock. When i called to get a quote, i provided incorrect vehicle information and was quoted a price. It turned out the vehicle was older which meant the cost was less. I could have paid the original amount quoted and not known the difference. However, the honest gentleman gave me the great surprise of the lower price. He was fast. Great human being, too. A+++++

This is the type of small business that I am proud to support. I will call Charles for any future locksmith needs and I will gladly recommend his business to my family or friends.
I recently bought a new used car and it only came with one key. I found AAL on Google, based on other reviews I decided to call him first, I'm glad I did.
Charles gave me options to be sure I would get exactly what I needed and not spend any extra $, even saving me the housecall fee by giving the option to go to his place.
He programmed the electronic key quickly and cut the emergency key perfectly.
Quick, friendly, knowledgeable... again, 100% satisfied. Thank you!

All I can say is WOW Charles really takes care of his customers! He saved me a bunch of money from buying a new key elsewhere other locksmiths quoted me hundreds of more $$$. Im so glad I found him! I will definitely refer him to anyone that is looking for a brand new key for their vehicle.
I will see this much I've had a really hard time getting my car rekeyed until this guy came out from aardvark I'm sorry I didn't catch his name and he did an excellent job showed up before I was ready got my car program was gone in a few minutes Great price great service you can't beat it this guy's the tops

Charles is hardworking, persistent, and very friendly! I am so thankful for his expertise and ability to help me within 24 hours. He was able to make me a high security motorcycle key for my 2019 Honda CB300R from basically nothing- not only that, but he did most of the work in the dark! I lost my only key to my motorcycle and he was able to get me up and running so that I could ride again instead of having an giant, expensive paperweight. Charles also does great job explaining what he is doing and how the parts work if you are a curious person like me. I 100% recommend him and will hire again to make all the rest of my motorcycle keys.
I ordered a specialty car key for my Lexus and was turned away by both car dealerships and other places that could cut keys but Charles said he could cut it no problem, after calling and meeting up with him he got my key cut super quick and I couldn't be more grateful. If I ever need any other key cut I'm going to him first
Amazing service, timely, and great cost! Charles is amazing! He came down from very far, outside of work hours to assist us since we got our keys locked in the car! Will definitely call again if we ever run into the same situation. Thank you Charles!!

Needed a key fob added to my car, and Charles could've just wiped my immobilizer and been done with the job in 20 minutes, but instead jumped through a ton of hoops and went above and beyond to save me money and hassle later on down the road with not having to reprogram my spare. Great service, and great guy.
Very prompt very helpful friendly and exceptionally attentive I'd recommend this locksmith for any an all of your lock and key issues in the north an West Phoenix, Peoria and Glenda area.

Top notch service. Met him at his house, he programmed 2 fobs and cut the emergency keys at a great price. Second time I've had to use him and he always delivers!
I called Charles to come out and take a look at my girlfriend’s 2016 Toyota Corolla because she was having issues with the ignition and the key not wanting to turn. Charles was responsive and was able to fit us into his schedule pretty last minute. He did a great job and was super informative. My girlfriend is so happy she can drive her car again. We both highly recommend him for your automotive locksmith needs! Thanks again!
The owner, Charles, scared me with his tone of voice. I will not be dealing with him now or in the future.
Charles arrived right on time and immediately got to the problem -broken key in door and needed new keys made. He got the key out without damaging the car, made two new transponder keys. He was extremely courteous, professional, and nice to talk with. Very fairly priced and knowledgeable in his craft. It says a lot about someone that can work their craft and sing while they do it. Highly recommend Aardvark Affordable Lock and Charles. I will use him in the future for sure and recommend them to everyone I know.
Great experiences. Had a 2017 RAV4 that he had reprogrammed and cut in :15 mins and I was back on the road. He suggested programming the key first before cutting it just in case the new Smart key was bad, if he cut it first then I wouldn’t be able to return the Smart key. Didn’t think about that. I would highly recommend Aardvark Affordable Locksmith!
Great job! He gave the option to meet him on his route to save on the trip charge. His quote for a Honda key was accurate and very competitive. Expert service. The van is nice, new, clean and organized. Even with this Corona Flu, he took very safe precautions and disinfected everything before handing it to me. It was a pleasure to be served by a real pro and an interesting guy to chat with while he worked. A+++++
Aardvark Affordable Lock is the best! He truly knows what he’s doing, and only charges a modest fee. I had two new ignition keys I purchased online (for a tenth of what the Nissan dealership wanted), and after Charles cut and programmed them, my total cost for 2 KEYS was more than 60% less than what the dealership wanted FOR ONE KEY! Thank you, Charles, for being such a decent, honest human being.
Charles has helped me with smart and remote key fobs for several vehicles. Once, one failed shortly after I got it, and Charles replaced it with zero hassles. Very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. I have recommended him to other, and heard similar feedback.

Very quick, reliable service. Extremely respectful and helped me out in my desperate time of need. From the time I called in to the time he drove away was less than an hour to unlock my van that I locked my keys in and he made me a spare key as well. Very affordable pricing and will definitely be using him again
I just finished getting some keys programmed for my 2006 Honda Accord. Charles was extremely professional, courteous, knowledgeable and, like his company name suggests, affordable. When I first contacted him, he got back to me in less than ten minutes with a quote, which was a better price than four other locksmiths I contacted. He demonstrated a keen expertise in this field and I would never go to anyone else for my locksmith needs.

Great Vendor! Affordable and Knowledgeable. Was easily able to remediate the issues I had with no problems. Would definitely recommend this locksmith to others.
Charles was very polite and by far the best priced. Others I called wanted over 100 dollars just to cut a key fob for my gf car. I also asked him to program the key but he mentioned it was very easy and could do it myself, he showed me how to do it and was literally as simple as turning a key, other places would have tacked on 75 bucks to do it for me.

I lost my keys to my truck and did not have a spare key. I called around to check prices and came across Charles from Aardvark Affordable Locksmithing. His prices were very reasonable and I decided to go with him. He called me to let me know he had one more job to do and then would meet me. When he was done with that job he called me again to let me know he was on his way. He got there and he proceeded to tell me what the procedure was. He took the time to let me know what needed to be done. I didn't have enough at the time to get a second spare made and told me if I needed the second spare key that he would be more than happy to do it at a later date for the same low price he quoted me. I would recommend this company to anyone who is in need of any kind of locksmith services. Thank you Charles for a very painless experience!

We lost the spare key to our Hyundai and we called the dealer who wanted $375 to replace both the key and the fob. Called Aardvark and he charged me $115 total. Went to his location to have work performed and it took less than 30 minutes and works perfectly! Don't get ripped off by your dealer, go here instead!

Charles fixed a key problem with a new-to-us car. He explained the possible problems, gave a very accurate time-frame, and was very professional. Would definitely recommend his services to others!
The owner is attentive and fair with his prices. He did have an issue that took a couple of days to resolve. But I would recommend his service to any one who needs a side milled key made. Or need a transponder set for your car key.
This is the best experience I have ever had with a locksmith, and unfortunately I see them a lot! I locked my keys in my car and he arrived in good time. I am used to spending around $100 for my make and model when I lock my keys in the car, so when he quoted me $60 I was very surprised! Not only that, but he actually charged me $60! He never tried to up the price. He also made me a spare right there on the spot for $3. Could not have asked for better service. He is also just a nice guy to talk to and provides a very pleasant experience!

The plastic shells of our car keys were cheap and falling apart to the point where the metal key was detaching and the electronics were exposed. AAL provided much sturdier shells, cut new keys, and moved the electronics over without the need to reprogram. Very happy with the service and the pricing was very reasonable. Probably saved hundreds of dollars not going to a dealership. Highly recommend AAL.
I had a good experience. He said he would be here the same day and he was. He is very knowledgeable and professional. I just bought a new(used vehicle), he cleared out any old keys and programmed new keys for me. I would recommend this company to anyone that needs locksmith services.
Called on a Friday left message and Charles returned call promptly. I told him that need a chip key made. He gave me the best price by far over the phone.if I could meet at his house. I met him Sat am he promptly made key and I promptly paid him the quoted price. Impressed!

The best! I called like 20 other locksmiths and NONE were any help they either didn’t call me back at all to update me or they didn’t even bother to look they would just tell me they don’t work with these keys. My 1995 Miata car key broke and it almost seemed impossible to find anyone who could make me a new key but Aardvark affordable lock is the best I called and he did his research on what blank he could use to make me a new key and it worked not only that but it was super cheap! Would 10/10 recommend to anyone!

My name is Kelley owner of Steampro Carpet Cleaning and I broke my key off in one of a set of four keyed Master locks and did not have a spare. I called several other locksmiths and none could get to it for a day or two. The gentleman at Aardark told me to bring the top of the key and he could make me a new set of keys. I got there and in less than 10 minutes I left there with a set of working keys. As a business man myself I really appreciated his service!

Both sets of keys were locked in the vehicle. I saw that Aardvark Affordable Lock was in the area and that there were good reviews. I called right away and less than 20 minutes later the vehicle was unlocked and the job was completed. Amazing fast, friendly and expert service. I highly recommend Aardvark for the job. Thank you AAL

I had a bent auto key that needed to be replaced but unlike others, Charlie offered to clone my transponder key for a new one and copied the chip/code to the new one without having to reprogram a new key and even straighten the bent key as backup, all at half the cost it would be elsewhere. Aardvark is by far the best, no need to shop around!
I was able to get same day keys made for my camp trailer. I had lost mine and he made them on site. Great service and price.
Had a Honda Pilot ignition give out on me. We got in and taken care of within a few days, and a fraction of the cost a dealer was going to charge. Highly recommend!
I called him and asked if he can do RV KEYS.. he said he can and he probably can come by later today 09.05 .. I told him That will be great, because i am going HUNTING on Friday and would be nice. When he heard world HUNTING .... he said yeah you see i was really busy yesterday too and i got home around 10 pm I will see what I can do. I gave him my number and called around 5 pm never answered the phone. It's his business and he can refuse the service to anyone, Same as me, I can leave a review if I feel like he refuse the service because he doesn't like HUNTERS or probably 2nd Amendment! BTW.. I fixed my RV keys this morning. I called the dealer gave them a code and each keys was $6.00.

Charles came out and changed my locks on my office space. He gave me a great price, got there quickly, and was professional. I love that he also has an Angies List award! My office is all the way in Mesa although he likes to work around Phoenix, Glendale, and the Peoria area! I didn't know that he drove from Anthem to my office. My client said he is amazing so he came to my rescue! He took the time to help me understand my security issues and helped me pick out the best lock for my needs. Thanks Charles!

The lock on my car was broken and I couldn't get into it. Charles was very kind and quoted me a much better price than others I had called. He came within a hour which is how long he said he would be. He had me in my car within 5 minutes and that's only because my lock isn't a perfect square and it slipped a few times. He was kind enough to explain why he felt my lock wasn't working which was more than the other places I called did. He brought his significant other which put me at ease knowing I wasn't alone with a complete stranger. Maybe for someone else that isn't a big deal but to feel comfortable when in a frustrating situation made it all the better. I will definitely recommend him to all my friends and have saved him in my phone and will use him again if the time is needed (which I hope it never will be).

I will only use Aardvark for all my keys and locks. I needed 2 different car keys cut and programmed. It cost less than $100 for both. Another local shop wanted close to $200 for the same keys. Don't waste time or money calling anyone else.
I can highly recommend this lock service. Very professional and fair. My car was being very difficult but he never gave up and saved me nearly $300 over the dealership. Will definitely use again if I ever need a locksmith.
I highly recommend Aardvark Affordable Lock. The gentleman we dealt with was very responsive and worked with our schedule. We will definitely call them again if we need their services. It is refreshing to deal with a company that truly cares about the customer!
Outstanding Service and cost!!!!!! I needed a switchblade key and fob asap and was so impressed with the professionalism and quick inexpensive service--They will be my locksmith going forward!!!!!!!!! Thanks team!!!
