Reviews of Josh's Lock & Key

Niccoli Scalice

Fantastic experience with Josh's Lock and Key! Much better than other locksmiths. Josh came out to fix a sliding door lock on my property. I had gotten three other locksmiths to look at the door and none of them could do anything. One guy even spent 2 hours working on it with no improvement. Josh was able to diagnose the issue quickly and fixed the door and now the lock works great! He also re-keyed another lock to match the sliding door so I only need the one key now. Josh was super nice and pleasant to chat with. I'll definitely be calling him in the future for all my lock and key-related needs.

Josh Tafoya of Josh's Lock and Key in Albuquerque is professional, courteous, reliable and prompt. This is NOT the Netflix star "Josh Bennett" of the Netflix show "Locke and Key" (with an e on the end of Locke!). The online chatter about this Netflix show detracts from the good business that our honest and experienced Josh in Albuquerque has worked hard to develop since 2008. DO NOT CONFUSE THE TWO, and call Josh's Lock and Key for whatever locksmith needs you might have--home, auto, or business. Check out all the 5-star reviews! You can see that Josh has earned "repeat business," and he well deserves it.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! After searching for a locksmith to Re-Key and program my Lexus ES 350 I found Josh! He was at my doorstep I’m just over an hour and had all the knowledge to get the job done. He was professional and checked to make sure I owned the car. I had quotes for hundreds of dollars, Josh was able to do it for a fraction of in under 20 minutes. I won’t use anyone else going forward.

Well Josh saved the day for me I have been without keys for about a week and a half now I lost them, I had 24 hour lock and key come out from Albuquerque to get my key made this morning and they could not do it .so I looked on the Internet again and I saw a local guy his name is Josh! He saved my day it was done less than an hour he made my 2003 Toyota Highlander key which is chipped as programmed I thought I was going to have to pay a couple thousand dollars at the dealership!! He also made me new keys for my deadbolt that I had lost as well for my home and again a couple hundred dollars Josh saved my day anybody looking for excellent service and a good young man you need to call Josh thank you for everything Josh .LISA Stafford. Lord God I hope I never lose my keys again but if I do you know who I’m gonna call! Josh lock and key!

We just purchased a new home and needed some locks changed and some rekeyed. Scott was pleasant on the phone and on time. He did everything professionally and with a smile. When he was done we checked everything and it was great! The price for 10 locks was more reasonable to other quotes I received. He cleaned up everything when he left too. I would recommend Josh's Lock And Key to everyone! He even mentioned they do locks for vehicles too if you need that. Thanks for the amazing service and a great job!

Judy Wesener

I can't say enough nice things about Josh. He's wonderful. Our house key was stolen. Even though it was very late, Josh came and re-keyed all of our locks. His prices are more than reasonable, no extra fee for after-hours, also re-keying locks and getting copies of the keys was way less than expected. He was going to come by the next day, but called me back and told me he was coming right over. Our safety was his first concern. He was efficient and very personable. He told my son how to disable his vehicle (his keys were the ones stolen) and he will be back in the morning to re-key his vehicle. He offered to disable the vehicle, but my son declined and said he would take care of it. Josh restored our sense of security. It was very unnerving knowing someone had a key to our home and our address. Feeling less stress now! I would recommend Josh's Lock & Key to anyone. He has a variety of available services. Check out his website. I put his number in my phone. I will definitely use him again!

Michael Rodriguez

Fast and Awesome! Lost my Challenger’s keys, Josh was able to get a key replacement within a hour of calling! If you’re in lock trouble, this is your new go-to!

Pamela Griego

The best service in town! I locked my keys in my car outside the movie theater. But made it with plenty of time so that I didn't miss a thing. Literally, 5 minutes from the time I called Josh, to the keys in my hands!! Professional efficient and affordable. Thanks Josh

Julieanna Montoya

Josh was awesome! and the price was by far the best. Came in a very timely matter for the time of night, had a key made in no time and we were on our way. Would highly recommend for all your locksmiths needs

The last key to my 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse was lost probably in boxes during a move. I don’t regularly use a locksmith so one tends to rely on the reviews of others for some guidance. I decided to go with Josh’s Lock and Key and I am glad I did. JLK is a locally owned and family run business. Josh is an expert locksmith who has been operating the business for 8 years. His brother Scott has been working with him for just under 2 years. Josh was the person who made a new key for my car. He was prompt and exemplified professionalism and human kindness. The key was made expeditiously and works great without any problems. The cost was more than reasonable. The same job performed in a larger metropolitan area would have cost 2-3 times the rates he charged me. I’m grateful that I lost the key while living in Albuquerque and Josh’s Lock and Key was able to help me.

Edna Hernandez

Awesome service. Josh was really friendly, able to give me a price right away and didn't quit on my car (half of the key was stuck in the ignition). Affordable and a very great experience. Will be keeping his phone number for future service.

Ashley Benavidez

I had an emergency and needed a car key made ASAP! I called Josh’s Lock and Key and within 1/2 hour, somebody was here to help me! He was so nice, efficient, quick and not to mention affordable! What amazing customer service , I will for sure be calling them for any future needs I may have!

Mike Teller

I believe Josh is one of the best locksmith Albuquerque has. I called several to help me out in my situation before I chose Josh's based on price and knowledge on the phone. Josh came out to fix my Honda Pilot that had a faulty ignition that was not turning with the key that I had and left me stuck with no where to go. Josh came out pulled the ignition out and repaired it with new parts and suggested a new key. He was great and helped me in such a great time of need.

Nicholas Campbell

Always a pleasure doing business with Josh. He is prompt, very pleasant, and very good at his job. I've used him on two vehicles and a Harley with perfect service each time. I highly recommend using him over any big name locksmith. You will not regret it. Excellent service

Norris Price

In an emergency situation,I would recommend his service to everyone, super fast and professional, and most important safe, he verified to see if the car was mine and proceeded with the service. Thank you Josh!

Maresa Thompson

I've used Josh's Lock & Key several times over the years to re-key my home and auto. He is always very friendly and responsive and even helped me make my home deadbolt more secure by installing a strike plate that makes it harder to break into the house. They have good prices as well and great quality work.

Seann Carey

Awesome service! He was professional, very knowledgeable, helpful, and affordable. Will only use this locksmith from now on.

Maggie Mae

Josh is very courteous and professional! He was able to re-key several doors and replace a broken lock the same day I called. I highly recommend him and I'll absolutely call him for future needs! The price was very reasonable, too!

Steph Day

My employer wanted me to find a locksmith to change the locks at her house. I called SEVERAL different places, and after comparing the prices, Josh had the best prices by far. He was also the most professional and courteous on the phone. According to my employer, he arrived on time for their scheduled appointment, and he was very sweet, professional, and fast. Would highly recommend Josh's Lock & Key for all your locksmith needs.

Duncan Jewett

Best experience with a locksmith I’ve had. Lost auto keys abroad and called Josh to see if he could meet us late evening, at the airport, and he was more than accommodating after multiple flight delays. Great guy, great price, great service.

Paul Amos

Josh came out and helped me get a new key made for my car. The service was great, he was nice and fast. I would recommend to all if you need a locksmith.

Chris “Relamancer” V

Although we didn't actually use Josh's services we have a great story and will use him in the future. We lost keys to our car and didn't have a spare. We called around and found Josh to be the cheapest (much cheaper then the dealer), so we setup a service call. Josh said he had availability for about an hour. Well about 45min later our keys were found. Called Josh and explained the situation and offered to pay him something, for his time...he wouldn't take anything and actually just appreciated us calling. Totally stand up guy! He earned a customer for any future locksmith needs. Thanks again Josh.

Chase Whitney

Josh was professional and timely. Lost our keys and our car was stranded at RT66 Casino. He made the long trip out and got us up and running again in under an hour. Awesome service and awesome prices. Thanks!

Bill Dickey

I needed a replacement RF key fob for the one I lost. Called Josh's, he gave a price of about half what the dealer wanted. He didn't have it in stock so he ordered a replacement. It came in on the date he said. He programmed it that day. Quick friendly knowledgable service. He even replaced the battery in my other key fob. Highly recommended!

Varix

There is a reason why this company is so highly rated. Josh came over same day my wife called, and he was professional and got the job done for a great price. He cleaned up my door that had stucco on it that was impeding locking for free. Also provided some advice on the locks and door. Much appreciated oh and friendly as well. Would recommend this guy anytime.

Gene Bush

Long over due review! I lost my motorcycle key and did not have a spare. I went to the dealer preferred locksmith (not Josh). they wanted $350 to make the key. Went to another locksmith (not Josh). They had me take them the ignition and made me 1 key for $37. It didn't work on the handle bars or gas tank. Their response was, that's how suzuki makes the locks. It will only work on the ignition, nothing else. My bike sat for a month then I found Josh's lock and key! He came out looked at the ignition looked at the key i had made and said, they cut it wrong. He handed me 2 key in less than 5 minutes. They worked perfect! $50, wow that is an amazing price! I will always recommend him!

I found Josh's Lock & Key using a Google search for an automotive locksmith. I had a defective master key for a Lexus and I could not crank it. Josh quickly responded to my inquiry telling me what I needed to do each step of the way including shipping my ECU to him. He returned the ECU and my new key along with specific installation and new key recognition procedures. My car cranked right up and boy was I relieved; no Lexus dealership visit for me. I'm sure Josh saved me $300+. I highly recommend Josh if you're hesitant about shipping your ECU to a stranger far away. Go for it, you'll be glad you did. Thanks again Josh for baling me out.

Had a great experience with Josh & Scott. They provided awesome rekeying service on my car that went beyond my expectations. The one thing I love about them is that they were quick to respond and are a family owned business. Great service guys!

Sara Rose

I called Josh's Lock & Key after (stupidly) locking my keys in my car. Josh answered his phone quickly and was very kind. He let me know the price over the phone ($50). He had one of his employees out to unlock my car in less than 15 minutes. The gentleman who came out was also kind, and he had my car unlocked in about 5 minutes. Paid right then and there with a credit card, and was back on my way! I wouldn't hesitate to call Josh's Lock and Key the next time I make a dumb mistake. :)

Emily

These guys brought sunshine to a very frustrating experience... I had called and drove all over town trying to duplicate my transponder chip key.. 4, yes FOUR, places said they had plenty in stock, but when I showed up, they didn't.. I now feel like it was a blessing that happened, since all of the 4 places I went to would have simply copied my worn key, giving me another worn, though shiny, key .. THIS company creates new keys by using specs from manufacturer, bringing the key back to it's ORIGINAL shape! It was apparent that these people truly care about their customers and the quality of work they provide..Thank you for providing such wonderful service.

Pro Peller

Believe the hype. Best locksmith I've ever worked with and I work with two or three a year. Nice, efficient, timely, and reasonably priced. Josh saved the day. Wish I lived in Albuquerque so I could use him more often.

Lauren Poole

I've called Josh to repair the tumblers in my car door, and to work on household locks. He is prompt, professional, and courteous. I Highly recommend him.

peter oliphant

got an an appointment within an hour. The locksmith arrived on time. I told him that my old key did not work in the door locks and that the door locks were broken so he would have to do the impression from the ignition. After making the new key it worked in all of the locks. I made the job harder by being wrong about the door locks but was still only charged the quoted price and treated nicely. The new key saved me from having to replace the 3 door locks. Great fast and friendly service.

Stone Deezell

Lost my only key to my toyata Landcruiser, the dealership wanted an arm two legs and my first born with a pint of blood. Josh came over took care of me in less then an hour! He was professional and kind and reasonably priced!!!!

M.R. Nadler

I needed a spare vehicle key and found myself unimpressed with the first locksmith I called. I talked to Scott and was incredibly pleased with his customer oriented attitude and the actual service exceeded my expectations. I can say, with absolute confidence, that JLK is the only locksmith I will use for any future lock and key needs. What a great experience.

Julie Morrell

Josh's brother Scott came out. Complete gentleman and did a great job rekeying my locks and making several extra keys as well. Professional and very reasonable prices. Local Company. Now my go to for all key needs!

Lenny Morgan

I called 5 locksmiths; Scott (from Josh’s Lock & Key) was the first to pick up the phone. It was around 5pm on a Saturday night and someone had stolen my wife’s keys form her shopping cart while inside Sam’s Club (watch for this scam – they were probably going to steal the car as soon as she left the parking lot). Scott was able to come to her location and create an ignition/door key for her on the spot (fortunately her driver’s license was not stolen and of course the registration in the glove box was there to prove ownership of the car). It even took Scott an hour to make the key because it was some special kind of key, which he did not charge extra for. He saved us from having to tow the car (since all the dealers were now closed and could not make a key for her until Monday), or worse, have the car stolen. She actually saw the guy (suspected thief) loitering in the parking lot the entire time until the locksmith showed up – at which point he split, so we’re confident that was the thief’s plan. Anyway, Scott was great. He was prompt, courteous and very competitively priced and did not even charge for the extra time. Fantastic locksmith! Thanks Scott from Josh’s Lock & Key!

Claire Darling

Amazing and fast service! The prices were so reasonable and he was able to come over and re key my car within an hour of calling! Very kind and helpful. Thank you so much for the fast and great work you did!

Elizabeth Garcia

I had lost my keys at work, they were no where to be found and I did not have an extra set. I found Josh's Lock and Key on My I Phone. When I called I explained to him that my keys have a special chip on it in order to start the car. He said dont worry I specialize in reprograming the car the key and that he would come in an hour, which was 7:30 at night. It took him a while only because my lock on my car was messed up but he got it done and only charged me $115.00 when the dealer was going to charge me $500.00. He was amazing I appreaciated everything he was so nice and patient and keept apoligizing for taking so long. I felt bad because he had his kids in the car with him and it was 8:45pm. He got it done though. Thanks

Arun Mehra

We are a property management company and have been using Josh's Lock & Key for 5 + years. They are reliable, honest, reasonably priced, and always there when we need them (even last minute!l) Great company to work with.

Janae Schmidlkofer

We were in quite the pickle on our cross-country roadtrip when we got in our car and the key wouldn't turn! Scott was able to quickly come to the rescue at the hotel where we were staying. He smartly assessed the problem and was able to cut us a new key onsite within an hour! He was super knowledgable and helpful, willing to explain everything to me. He was very well-mannered and on-point. Because of Scott's expert locksmith skills and his cheery disposition, we were able to turn a stressful situation into a funny road-trip story. Thank you so much Scott and JLK locksmiths!

Pavel Petrov

Great experience with Josh's Lock & Key. I did a google search and found JLK, and I'm glad I chose to do business with them. I had an ignition problem with my vehicle, which required extra attention.
