REVIEWS OF Busy Bees Locks & Keys Locksmith San Diego IN California

Neil Snyder

My key got stuck in the lock cylinder on my door on a Sunday. I called Busy Bees and they scheduled for Jerry to come out to my location in an hour. He showed up half an hour early, got the key out in two seconds, and only charged me for the service call (no labor). Super friendly and easy going. Would definitely recommend.

Lee Mattson

Just had a great experience with Dan. Difficult situation with old lock but he had it figured out quickly. Personable, professional and prompt service. Highly recommend!

Jay

Absolutely awesome. They had great prices and even greater customer service. So I lost me master and and my spare keys for my 2001 Lexus GS 300 and needed new keys mad and programmed. Called around and the had the best rates and some good reviews it was $350 for them to come out to my house and make two keys and to reprogram the the computer for the keys. Going to the dealer was lookin at probably around $1000 and probably would have to have gotten the car towards to them. I had my appointment set for 11:00 am on a Sunday morning. Yes they work weekend which is awesome due to my job. They were running a bit late due to another job taking a bit longer then expected the reception gave me a call about a half and hour to see if I wanted to reschedule or if 12:00pm would be fine which is plenty of time Incase that time wasn’t good for me to reschedule but In my case it was even better because in wanted to sleep in a bit more on my day off lol. Jerry came out as my technician and I believe he is also the owner. He was super friendly and knowledgeable. He made the keys by using passenger door to match. However after keys were cut he had some trouble getting the keys to work on ignition and asked if I had a different key to open door and the ignition but my previous key was the same for both. So I let him do his thing and he did his magic and got the key to work for the door and turn the engine over.he popped my hood took out the computer and reset and programmed it to the keys. It wa all done in about an hour and a half Awesome work. I was very satisfied with my experience. They are quick reliable and very friendly would recommend Busy Bee’s to any and everyone. Thank you.

Awesome skilled professionals.

Robert Herman

I dealt with Emily on the phone, and Jamie, who did the work on my key. Just as with my past experiences wit Busy Bees, they were efficient to deal with, got exactly what I needed, and knew what they were doing. They were also very pleasant to work with.

Joe Sindoni

This is my second time using Busy Bees Locks & Keys. Both times were to change the locks on our condo and we couldn't be happier with their service. We had them change out four lock cores on separate locks so that they all use the same key. Their price was lower than I expected to pay. They are prompt and efficient and go the extra mile to fix minor issues beyond the scope of their immediate job, such as sticky door handles, misaligned strike plates, etc. JC was fast and efficient and didn't mind trudging up 8 flights of stairs when the elevator went out in our condo during his service call. Couldn't be happier with their service.

Jesus Gonzalez

Cool graphics. I’ve only called and never did business with them. But they seem nice

Jamie Pullman

Alejandro Castellon

Fast and very affordable. Would definitely go back.

Hubert Jones

Great emergency service with super prices!

Kenn Stearns

When my 14-year-old Toyota ignition key misbehaved, I turned to Busy Bees for help. They were knowledgeable, proposed a solution, and had a backup plan in the event things didn't go as expected. Their plans worked fabulously and my vehicle was happily returned to service. Professionalism, great service, and they know their stuff -- and all for a fair price that won't break the bank. If only there were more than five stars to award...

Susan Heavilin

Was surprised how fast they got to my home. Dan was polite and professional and got me back in my house quickly. I highly recommend Busy Bees Locks & Keys!

Myra Kranz

Excellent service and unbeatable price!!! Lost my key and so stressed out about it because i know its going to cost me alot to replace it..i started calling different locksmith, i found 1 and they guaranteed me that i will only have to pay $120, it was too good to be true but i still tried it..the guy came in saw my car and he started telling me different prices from $560 down to $460 because i keep saying no its too much and he just left, i was so upset. Then I found busy bees and called them, ask for my car info, set for an appointement and a price. I had to make sure that the price they gave me over the phone is going to be the price in person too..and they said yes so i agreed with them..they guy named Jerry Schaffer, very cool and super nice guy, came in professionally with everything in his hands..and ready to work on my car. It took him about 45mins to do everything. Paid for the price they told me over the phone...overall experienced with them was excellent..Very professional, nice people and UNBEATABLE PRICE FOR SURE!!! THANKS JERRY!!! UR THE BEST!!!

A great local company with helpful, knowledgable employees. I inadvertently locked myself out of my condo and Busy Bee was able to order the service immediately so I that I could get back inside and get on with my day. Super helpful and friendly. Thanks guys!

Ma8tthew .

Locked myself out of the house, and my neighbor helped me call them. After 6 agonizing rings, a pleasant man answered and promptly came to the house in about 20 minutes. It took him a little while to pick the locks, but he didn't lose patience and eventually got in, and it only cost $80. He could have charged me anything he wanted, but he didn't. So grateful for the friendly, quick service!

Neilden Round-miller

Busy Bees is the best hands down! They not only have affordable and competitive prices, but they have great customer service and do their best to help you. I’ve had my house locks replaced and have had an electronic deadbolt installed. The technician that installed it was fast, had great customer service, and saved me some money! His name was Sean and I highly recommend busy bees! Also, the techs at the kettner shop were very helpful! I will definitely use their service again!! I highly recommend to all!

I made an appointment at the Kettner store to have a key made for my 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe and my new remote programmed.. I arrived prior to my appointment and they started to work on my key immediately. I had to park in a red zone because there was no handicap parking available. When the parking enforcement officers came by Busy Bee not only moved my car but paid the parking meter for me. I would highly recommend their service and everyone was outstanding not only in their customer service but their positive attitudes as well. Well done Busy Bee!!!!

Jack M

Called 3 times. First two times no answer. Went to the machine. 3rd time I spoke with someone but was rushed off the phone told I would be called back. Never got called back after 2 days.

Jackie Collins

Had Clint come out and he was quick and fair. My door was really jammed up! He's super friendly and a great repairman. Call him!

Keith Cressy

Sd'd best locksmith. A 24 hour service that is hard to beat. They have pretty much any key you will ever need and the ladies at the office are amazing.

Joy Stout

Though I often tend to be skeptical of the reviews for Locksmiths I looked up Locksmith San Diego and found Busy Bees. Other Locksmith companies quoted me $19 and up! I'm glad I found Jerry here as I highly recommend him and his company! I called him in the morning and we set a 2 p.m. appointment. When I arrived home at precisely 2, his truck was already there. Jerry quickly took apart our front door lock, diagnosed the problem, and within 20 minutes had it fixed. At my request, Jerry also quickly checked out and lubricated our other house locks. Instead of having me purchase a new front door lock which would have cost triple the $55 service call Jerry explained the problem, repaired the lock and generously made me 4 new house keys. We had a very pleasant conversation; in addition to being very capable, Jerry is also a very nice guy! I like that his business is local, family owned and operated. Whenever I need a Locksmith in San Diego I will always use this company for my Locksmith.

Michael Dorko

I had some duplicate house keys made at my local Home Depot. Only one of the five worked at all and even that one only if it was inserted "just so". Took them back and had them recut. None of those worked either. After that frustration I opted to go to an actual locksmith. Found Busy Bees while looking for a shop near my work. Swung by on my way home and they cut 8 keys for me in less time than it took Home Depot to cut 5 (not even counting the time to find someone to operate the machine at Home Depot and get it set up). All 8 work as flawlessly as the original. VERY pleased with the friendliness and quality of service. Price was extremely reasonable as well. THANK YOU for alleviating the frustration my experience at Home Depot left me with and allowing me to finally get this item successfully checked of my "to do" list!

Debbie Hood

My daughters key was stolen out of her car she was stuck alone at Seaport Village. I didn't know what to do. I looked up the closest locksmith and called busy bees. I think his name was Travis on the phone, he assured me he would help and he did. My daughter had a new key and was safe at home in no time. So sweet and professional. They text her updates. She was so happy with the tech he was nice too! What a great experience. I will recommend them to everyone! Thank you Busy Bees!!

G.B Irvin

Not friendly and pushy regarding past codes. Not sure if he should know past or present codes. Someone matching the installer was videoed trying to unlucj with code then key light knock very scary and unsafe. Need to call another company or get an Israeli locksmith and equipment installed. Missing items. House guest freaked out as well. Why ? Please explain.

Vicki Everett

Wonderful company! Great customer service! Great prices! Will ALL WAYS use!!!

Rich Haley

Anji Taylor

Thank you for the fast emergency service. Believe me, at 6:00 in the morning it was great to hear a friendly and responsive voice after calling some other "24/7" outfit first and getting the run-around for over an hour.

Cathy Worthington

Fast and efficient and very helpful and AFFORDABLE. Mazda quoted me $450 to get a new ignition key and have it programmed. I got the job done at Busy Bee for $90. I am very HAPPY!

Peace Full

Quick efficient.

Christine Berardino

Never ever again! $164.00 for less than 2 minutes of work. Waited a hour and 20 minutes. Several phone calls later and slapped with this bill. Horrible! If I could, I would give zero stars...

Sarah Brekke

Fisher came to rekey our locks and found two that were too old to rekey correctly, so he went out to find us a new lock and had the job done in a little over an hour. Fisher and the booking receptionist were both so friendly and helpful. Great service!

Andreas Loidl

Thank you so much for sending Rob over today! Im speechless. We had another Locksmith over a couple weeks ago who tried fixing something and replaced the key for a total of $200. After his ‘fix’ it got worse every day. One day we called him and he said that the cylinder needed to be replaced (around $300 + labor). And on another day he said that the door is the issue. Rob came in and fixed it within half an hour or so and charged $75! Please give him a raise! You guys are amazing!!! Thank you so much for your fast and reliable service!!!!!!!!!

Chris Wohlert

Great staff! Good prices! Honored quote. Military friendly!!!!

Seriously grateful to this company for their work today. Sergio did a great job and was super helpful despite the down pour and confusing location where my vehicle was left. He was very fast and very efficient, even helped me resolve a long term issue with my alarm system I hadn't figured out. Cheaper than what the dealership qouted me and next day appointment. Will definitely use Busy Bees again for any future locksmith needs.

Karen Preston

Prompt, quick service, easy access, friendly & helpful staff, great communication before, during & after the appointment. Very solid, strong recommendation.

Lorraine Roach

Visiting from ARIZONA and staying in our RV. Door latch broke leaving us locked out. Our service tech Jerry came on a Sunday early evening and saved the trip! Excellent customer service and very professional! Thank you! Paul and Paula Gregg

joette hull

Fair prices. Knowledgeable staff, friendly, timely, I'll be back if I need keys again dude

larry garber

They seemed very helpful on the phone. Representative said she will call me back after I send her some information. She never called back !!!!!

Alex Valadez

Roberto Ramos

They came and did my motorcycle. Price was unbeatable, then to top it off, they were so NICE!!! Recommend over everyone else.

Felicitas Yakut

An apparently inexperienced locksmith came to us. He had lots of trouble getting the two rekeys done. It took him 1-1/2 hrs to rekey two locks. Then comes the clincher: he gave us ONE KEY for each rekeyed lock AND wanted to charge an extra $2.50 for an extra key!, Cindy, at the office, was wasting my time although I had told her I had an appointment in a few minutes and was extremely rude to me and my husband. I asked her to make it quick and just take my credit card number. But she would not stop shouting. In the morning we were texted that Yolanda would come out for the job. Then a text came saying it would be J. Then, when someone knocked on my door, ignoring the doorbell, it was neither J nor Yolanda. It was a 7’ tall bearded man with an Afro Mohawk. His name was Taylor. He seemed to lack experience. I WILL NEVER AGAIN CALL Busy Bee although, up until today, they were my favorite locksmith.

Errick Gaffney

Quick and helpful!!

Martha Elizabeth Bekken

I was locked inside my house. I had loaned my key to someone and they had locked the door when they went out. They weren't coming back until the end of the day. My door locks are the ones that need a key both from the inside and outside. I called Busy Bees and they had a technician here promptly. He was efficient, courteous, and had the door unlocked quickly. I could not have asked for better service.

Faye Boyce-Blades

We had Busy Bees move our keypad lock one from our old place to our new house. I can't say enough about this service! The locksmith came early, was extremely efficient and courteous. We've used Busy Bees in the past and they have always been top notch professionals. We recommend them to all our friends.

Jon Padilla

Good fair prices and all around good people

Bobby Sanchez

David Maiolo

Good helpful folks that run a good business. I came in here to get a copy made and they were quick to get it done. If I ever got locked out, I would have no hesitation to call these guys. They seem like honest locksmith.

Cassi Miller

I contacted Busy Bees to replace my broken key shell for my Honda Accord. I’ve had to use their services a few times in the past 3 years because my Honda key shell breaks all the time. The technician I had was Jerry. Not only was he knowledgeable about cutting my key, but he was nice and professional as well. I would highly recommend this company!

Unbelievable experience. Had a party this evening my wine cellar door is digital and got jammed somehow. Keys were in a safe place which I could not record called in am and could only meet at 4pm these guys showed up and 30 minutes later had the digital lock fixed and a new set of keys. Outstanding ask for JC. He was great

Magdy Hefnawy

Very professional and good work and very unest people to deal with

The service was excellent and so was the product. I had a hard-to-copy key that I needed several duplicates of. Busy Bees was the first shop of many I contacted that had matching blanks. The receptionist asked me to send in a photo when I wasn't able to provide a serial number. Adam, the keymaker, really knew what he was doing and found a blank that worked even though it wasn't an exact match. I got them back to the office and all three copies worked perfectly. The service and the product were impeccable, and they went to all that effort for a key that was a whopping $5 per copy. I will definitely be using Busy Bees again.

Lucas Rich

Friendly service, great prices and quick turnaround. Too good to be true!

We truly would recommend this company to anybody! We had called another company that sent a technician that had no clue. He tried for an hour to unlock an office door with my dog inside and was unsuccessful. When we called Busy Bee, Jamie was not only prompt in getting here but also very efficient and knowledgeable. She unlocked the door in about 5 min. despite having to work at it due to the damage done by the previous technician. This company was also very fair with the cost. They will get all of our future lock and key business! Thank you Jamie!!

Visiting from ARIZONA and staying in our RV. Door latch broke leaving us locked out. Our service tech Jerry came on a Sunday early evening and saved the trip! Excellent customer service and very professional! Thank you! Paul and Paula Gregg

joette hull

Fair prices. Knowledgeable staff, friendly, timely, I'll be back if I need keys again dude

Larry garber

They seemed very helpful on the phone. Representative said she will call me back after I send her some information. She never called back !!!!!

Roberto Ramos

They came and did my motorcycle. Price was unbeatable, then to top it off, they were so NICE!!! Recommend over everyone else.

Felicitas Yakut

An apparently inexperienced locksmith came to us. He had lots of trouble getting the two rekeys done. It took him 1-1/2 hrs to rekey two locks. Then comes the clincher: he gave us ONE KEY for each rekeyed lock AND wanted to charge an extra $2.50 for an extra key!, Cindy, at the office, was wasting my time although I had told her I had an appointment in a few minutes and was extremely rude to me and my husband. I asked her to make it quick and just take my credit card number. But she would not stop shouting. In the morning we were texted that Yolanda would come out for the job. Then a text came saying it would be J. Then, when someone knocked on my door, ignoring the doorbell, it was neither J nor Yolanda. It was a 7’ tall bearded man with an Afro Mohawk. His name was Taylor. He seemed to lack experience. I WILL NEVER AGAIN CALL Busy Bee although, up until today, they were my favorite locksmith.

Errick Gaffney

Quick and helpful!!

Martha Elizabeth Bekken

I was locked inside my house. I had loaned my key to someone and they had locked the door when they went out. They weren't coming back until the end of the day. My door locks are the ones that need a key both from the inside and outside. I called Busy Bees and they had a technician here promptly. He was efficient, courteous, and had the door unlocked quickly. I could not have asked for better service.

Faye Boyce-Blades

We had Busy Bees move our keypad lock one from our old place to our new house. I can't say enough about this service! The locksmith came early, was extremely efficient and courteous. We've used Busy Bees in the past and they have always been top notch professionals. We recommend them to all our friends.

Jon Padilla

Good fair prices and all around good people

David Maiolo

Good helpful folks that run a good business. I came in here to get a copy made and they were quick to get it done. If I ever got locked out, I would have no hesitation to call these guys. They seem like honest locksmith.

Jeanette Gaskin

They wouldn't touch my motorhome

Cassi Miller

I contacted Busy Bees to replace my broken key shell for my Honda Accord. I’ve had to use their services a few times in the past 3 years because my Honda key shell breaks all the time. The technician I had was Jerry. Not only was he knowledgeable about cutting my key, but he was nice and professional as well. I would highly recommend this company! Their prices are good and so is the service! A++

Very nice gentleman... a little pricey $150 for a car key but that's not his fault!

gabriel sanchez

Great people, honest and very helpful

Rob Bowman

I've had the need to use Busy Bees twice in recent months. On both occasions I was impressed with the prompt response, expertise, and reasonable prices. For instance in the latest case the locksmith showed up at my house less than two hours after I called. He was done in an hour making two keys for my wife's car for less than one key at the dealer Rest assured, Busy Bees will always be the first call I make when I need a locksmith in the future.

Reynald Dickson

The gentleman who worked there was quick, friendly, and priced competitively versus the dealer. For what I paid to have duplicate chipped keys made I could have four more copies versus the car dealership.

Elizabeth Anaya

Lucy Marquez

I was locked out with my elderly client, busy bee came in a few min and helped us out they were very nice excellent service I would recommend them to any and everyone thank u so much for all your help

Marcie

Busy Bee was amazing! On time, professional and went above and beyond in their work and customer service.

Zane Sodeur

What an experience! JC is the man! Last night at 8:30 pm my husband went to do laundry and could not get the front door (and only door) to our apartment open. the lock mechanism broke and was stuck in the door jam. We were locked IN. Luckily we were able to get the screen out of our window and climb out lol! After a few phone calls with our rental company and several locksmiths, I emailed Busy Bee and got a reply! I was able to set up an appointment at 10 pm on a Friday night for the following day at 5:30 pm. That is seriously good customer service in my opinion. JC was our technician and he was easy to get ahold of, communicated very politely and professionally and did a perfect job with our door. They went out of their way to take care of us on a Saturday evening since we both work weekends all day and I could not have asked for a better experience. If I ever need a locksmith again I know who to call!

Adam Wander

Stephanie at Busy Bees provided me excellent service today. I came in to get a copy of my car key, which provided a lot of issues in duplicating. She was very patient and stuck with it, making sure she got it just right. She had to go back to the machine multiple times to make sure the key worked smoothly in my very old car's door. Overall, it probably took her about 20 minutes to duplicate the key (due to the age and wear if the key). I think most people would've given up.

Tobiah Grollmus

I lost the keys to my motorcycle. After they were late to get here they spent about 4-5 hours taking my bike apart, broke part of my ignition and gave up. So they sent someone the next day. He fixed my problem but put my ignition back together with electrical tape and I was charged $130 for the service. So I had to buy a brand new ignition costing almost $700.

Susan Corbin

A special thank you to JC Arreola for his professionalism during a lockout today. He arrived 15 minutes ahead of his scheduled time, and made extra efforts to track the sheriffs, who were assigned. His experience with these calls safely secured the property. Thank you Busy Bees.

Shanae Curo

Tov Rittmueller

I am a tech who does side work for people who don't have much money.. I needed just an uncut transponder key for a customer's car so that he can move it today. They would not ask me just the key so I could program it for the customer to avoid being towed. Will only sell key if they program it also for top dollar. Thanks busy

Jamie Wiseman

These Guys Rock... They have great prices, great customer service skills, and they go above and beyond to help their customers out. Thanks Busy Bees for your help... They ( and should be your ) are my go to Locksmith...

If you have broken locks that you deem impossible to repair, come visit this locksmith and there's a good chance that it will get repaired.

I work for Homeland Security downtown. We needed to secure two restrooms in our suite by converting a handicap button to a trilogy lock. When Tim and Dan started working on the doors, they were wired completely differently than these types usually are in most offices. They didn't quit! They figured it out and kept at it until they completed the job. These guys really worked hard and didn't disappoint. They were able to complete the job in a timely manner and were courteous the whole time. I would highly recommend Busy Bees, they value your business and take the job seriously! We look forward to working with them in the future.

jere Jerem

Rob was excellent . He arrived on time. He had the option of selling me a new lock and even though I was willing to pay for it, he said he could fix the old one. He persevered until it was perfect. A true professional. Thanks to Rob and your company. You're a great combo. I'm a happy customer

Paul Hitchings

I lost the only key to my Lexus in Mission Bay and thought I was done for. After a tow back to the house and much careful research, I decided to give my business to Busy bees. Why? They were the only shop willing to work with my unique situation, they had the best price as well as tons of great reviews on Yelp and Google. I am SO glad I let busy bees help me out. My new Lexus key works PERFECT every time in every door. It is a laser-cut key and not something you can get made at home depot, so I was a little nervous about having a new key in a car with 200K miles. Long story short, their service was excellent, fast and the lowest price in town. They are the only call you need to make.

Brenda Watton

I called Busy Bee to re-key 7 exterior door locks at my house. They scheduled the appointment for the same day. The locksmith was able to arrive earlier than his appointment, and that was ideal for me. When he arrived, I realized that I had inadvertently missed 2 additional door locks that needed re-keyed. He re-keyed all the locks alike quickly and was very courteous about my request to add locks. Great service is hard to find -- and this was definitely great service!

What I love the most about Busy Bees Locks & Keys is their attention to detail, honesty and professionalism. I also like that it is a family business and everyone involved in the business really feels proud to be a part of it. They have done work for me before, but most recently installed a gate lock and rekeyed all the house locks so that just one key worked in everything -- down from 3! Thanks to a top-notch team with a real old fashioned work ethic. I recommend their business without reservation. 11/15/2013 - My original review still stands. This company continues to provide outstanding service, extremely fair prices and the comfort of knowing you are dealing with honest people.

Keith and Shirley Herring

We used Busy Bees at their Chula Vista location. Very prompt response, showed up slightly ahead of promised time (same day). Sean Kelly was our technician and he was knowledgeable and professional. We needed a residential gate rekeyed and they completed our job quickly and for a price that was very satisfactory. Thank you!

Cynthia Chavez

Adderly Valencia

Amazing service, Sean was very professional, had a sense of humor and helped us within 30 mins. Hopefully we don’t like our keys in the car again, but if we do, we will use this service again.

From reception to technician, Busy Bees really got me out of a jam. Extremely fast service that the competitors were not able to provide. Fantastic communication. Expert knowledge. Alex the technician was superb. Only knock would be price.. they were slightly more expensive than competitors, and just generally an expensive fix, but end of the day I was stranded and these guys saved me.
