Action Locksmith STOREFRONT with 24 HOUR MOBILE SERVICE

I called Action Locksmith to see about getting a new key fob for my son's vehicle. The person I talked to on the phone gave me a price of $125 to get a new key fob and this included cutting and programming. I mentioned I wasn't sure if the vehicle had an engine immobilizer and needed programming for an immobilizer chip. I was told the person at the shop would be able to determine that and let my son know whether he needed it or not. I sent my son there and he came back about an hour later with a new key fob and was charged $125. I asked my son if the locksmith even checked to see if he needed the key fob with the immobilizer chip. He said the locksmith just asked for his original key and proceeded to cut and program it but never said anything about whether his vehicle needed the chip. Later I found out the vehicle did not have an engine immobilizer. I talked to the locksmith about why he sold my son this key fob when he didn't need it. His explanation was that was the only key they sold and he simply plugs the key fob into his programming machine and it gets programmed. I asked him how it could program an immobilizer chip when the vehicle didn't have an engine immobilizer and he simply reiterated he plugs the key in the machine and it programs it. He didn't really seem to know anything about how to determine if a vehicle needs the immobilizer chip or not. If I would have known this I wouldn't have sent my son to this place. For those who may be in this same situation, I would recommend researching whether your vehicle needs the immobilizer chip before using this business. I was able to purchase an identical-looking key fob from eBay for $13, have it cut for 50 cents at a local store and program the remote for the door locks myself in about 5 minutes. It's my fault for not doing some research before this but my son was headed up to the high Uinta's for a backpacking trip and he only had one key for his vehicle. I don't mind paying a reasonable fee to have a new key cut and a remote programmed but feel the charge for this was excessive when there was no need to program an immobilizer chip.

We got locked out of our call at the mall and they came within half an hour. They charged $50 to unlock the car and $2.50 for a house key copy (I figured we might as well since he was there lol). I appreciate the speed and friendliness of the service. They were the cheapest option from what we could find online. Even our car insurance, AllState, was way more expensive.

Caught the mobile locksmith outside Park City, UT. Needed a camper key cut! Very friendly and accommodating. He had the right key and cut it in a few minutes. Highly recommend this service.

Patrick was kind and very helpful getting us back into our car. Quick response time and very well priced.

I love this place, they have assisted me more times than I can count. They have gotten locked keys out of my car, made keys for a lock that had no keys for, batteries, fobs and key for my truck! Great attitudes and knowledge,Thank you.
