Idan was amazing and repaired a deadbolt on a holiday weekend. I have had prior locksmiths work on this lock for hours and never got it right. In less than 30 minutes, Idan had it working better than ever. Can't say thank you enough. I will use him again and again.

I lost my keys and needed to get a replacement set. I called several other places but they were trying to charge over 350 for a new set (not even original manufacturer parts). The Key Man quoted me way less for a replacement set (two keys). Within 30 minutes of me texting him that I would like his services, he was at my door. He was professional and polite. Did his job quickly left a detailed receipt.

Highly recommend. Great value. Great customer service. Just to be clear the keys are not original manufacturer replacement parts. But they work exactly the same. I did call the dealership and they were going to charge me 450 for one key and another 100 if I wanted a second, plus I would have had to get my car towed to the dealership. I will definitely call and use his services again if I need to.

Let me start saying the he is the best. My wife tried to program a second key for our GMC Terrain but instead she deprogrammed both keys ( the gmc original and the copy) plus she deprogrammed the SUV itself, and activated the security system of the suv. We called another business and they weren't able to fix it. We called the key man of San Antonio and since my wife spoke with him on the phone she told me he was very knowledgeable, professional and knew exactly what the problem was and how to fix it.

He told my wife how much the service was going to cost through the phone without any tricks or hesitation. And that's the way it happened. He arrived to our house and did an Amazing job, he was professional and very knowledgeable. We highly recommend the key man of San Antonio. And believe me when I said that he is the best in the city. Thank you so much for your help. We are so happy with your service and professionalism. Don't waste your money with other business THE KEY MAN OF SAN ANTONIO IS THE BEST.

If I could give more stars I would. I needed a key ASAP and the key man was quick, the rate was the best I found around my area and he was very communicative. If you need help call this guy.

Idan is the fastest affordable price in town! ( I always call other businesses to compare prices ) Amazing service! Will go to you! And if I may add he is one very handsome Man.

Idan was very nice, he responded within the first call and arrived 30 minutes later. He had a great price, the best out of 5 other locksmiths I called. Not only did he give me a key but made a copy out of one I already had from the kindness of his heart. By far the best customer service. I was so grateful I had found him on google because with past experience most locksmiths have you waiting hours & they over charge. Wish I found him sooner & I will definitely be recommending him to friends and family.

My key to my 2014 chevy traverse broke and we had no spare key. I called the chevy dealership and they wanted to charge me $40 $35 but they said it needed programmed so when I take the key and try it, it may not work so I would have to have it towed to the dealership so they can program it. So my husband found the key man online and thank god he did. We called and he showed up in 13mins no lie. Took the guy 30mins to cut it and program it and I had a brand new key. Idan was his name and he was very professional and nice. Thank you so very much.

I don't write reviews, but Idan did an awesome job. Old keys were completely lost and it took Idan 30 minutes to not only fix the cylinder but make me two new keys. Fast, professional, reasonably priced. Would recommend to anyone.

He was professional from the first initial call. He didn't hesitate to rush me when I had questions and answered honestly and patiently. He showed up on time and it honestly took him less than 3 minutes. Who does that? Who takes 3 minutes to unlock a door especially in this weather. Thank you man for helping us out! Definitely recommending you!

Idan was outstanding. Complete professional. Explained everything. Gave a great price. Worked with me on getting the right FOB and doing the job the right way so everything worked the first time. Came when he said he would. Recommend this company without reservation. Called to both dealerships and other locksmiths and this gentleman was the most respectful and most responsive. His prices are more than fair as well when compared to dealerships and the competition. If you need a replacement fob/key, do yourself a favor and call this man.
