Reviews of Pop-A-Lock of Portland Me.

ORIGINAL GUITAR

Was happy after getting great service and a cheaper way to get back to driving my car, quote was beyond reasonable and I was able to speak with an actual person quickly, call here if you need keys you won’t regret it!

Ashley Tempesta

I lost my only set of car keys and called David at Pop a Lock. He was so nice and came out to my house promptly. Both he and Roswell were professional and just awesome people. The service was reasonably priced and very fast. David was very knowledgeable and shared some great tips about hiding my spares. Losing your keys is never fun but David made me laugh and got me back on the road quickly!

MY SALVATION! Made my Christmas and my 2020. Locked phone and keys in car. It's winter and it's dark and the market I'm at is about to close. I'm too stressed out to leave a message but he calls ME back anyway at the market. It's a crunch for him but he shows up, in fifteen minutes. After getting me into my car in about four seconds, he asks if I have any other keys. "I will soon," I promise. "Yeah, you will," he says, and jumps in his van and makes me a copy. That's the extra mile and then some. He is fast, prompt, efficient, competent, and saved my night. Nothing makes you feel frantic and vulnerable like being without your keys and your phone. I cannot recommend highly enough. Hope you never need, but if you do, this is the call to make.

My boyfriend locked himself out of his car and we had called triple A, which apparently their system was down so we called Pop a Lock and were charged $45. Which I might have thought was a lot, though i’m am not sure what average prices are for this, except the man(unfortunately I do not know what his name was) who helped us was absolutely amazing. He helped me fix something on my car all just to be kind, it brightened my whole day and even week because there was no reason for him to do this. I tried to offer him candy but he politely declined. Anyways I am blown away by how this man went above and beyond for us, I didn’t even know that was possible when having a car unlocked. Give this man a RAISE! He did more than fix my car and unlock my boyfriends car, he gave me a burst of happiness and genuinely brightened my week. Words can’t express the appreciation I have. Even the simplest of things can really have a great impact on others and this man did a wonderful job for us. Will definitely call back if I am ever stranded again. Very sociable and professional. Thank you man of whom I do not have a name. 💕😊💕🤗

Dave just helped my girlfriend get into her vehicle. $45 is an excellent price for this service. He was punctual and courteous. They were outside laughing half the time while he made her a key. We are thoroughly impressed. Who knew locking yourself out of the car could be such a pleasant experience. Thanks, Dave!!!!! You rock.

Nick Williams

Amazing service, was able to be at my home within 30 minutes of me contacting them, made me 2 keys with a dummy for future replacements, AND was given a 60 dollar discount for being a basic AAA member. Best part was I paid less than 200 for 2 valet style keys. My dealer quoted me 150 for 1. Highly recommend.

Idriss Jebari

Very positive interaction. Extremely helpful on the phone after a car key problem, offered to meet promptly and was upfront about the required costs. Eventually, it was fixed in a few shakes and he refused to charge. A real gentleman! Would recommend any day.

Alex Bouthillier

Provided me with new car keys this morning after losing mine over the weekend. Very quick, professional, and straightforward. Accurate quote was given with no hidden fees, and it was considerably less than I expected. The gentlemen not only provided an extra key at no additional cost, but helped me get a discount through AAA, halving the cost. Hopefully I never have to need their service again, but would absolutely recommend.

Emma Horowitz

I lost my mom’s car key on a Sunday and needed a copy made ASAP. I first called AAA to have them connect me to a locksmith but they weren’t able to do so, and I had remembered someone mentioning pop a lock. When I called their Portland location, a very nice, efficient, and helpful employee (Kirk) answered. He immediately gave me all of the information I needed, in addition to calling AAA for me since he had a direct number and he knew I would get a discount. He was at my apartment within 20 minutes and quickly made the keys for me. He was nice kind and professional when he arrived. The pricing was completely fair, if anything, more than fair. I would recommend this AAA certified company any time!

Mike Pottle

I was in a jam recently and locked my keys in my car while it was running. I called and pop a lock and he was there with in 10 minutes and save the day. Very professional service and you can’t beat his prices. I will and do recommend him to anyone in the area that needs his services.

Richard Austin

Absolutely the best, most professional, and personable service I could have hoped for. David G came right to my driveway and was able to cut and program a computer chip switchblade key for a late model car, and a computer chip key for mid 2000's car within minutes and get everything programmed right on the first pass, and all for 2/3rds of the price of what the dealership wanted to charge me for just the late model key. Pop A Lock sets the standard, is the locksmith all the local dealers trust, and you should trust them too. David G. blew away all my expectations. Thanks, guys. R.

I have never lost keys before. I lost my very expensive car key and wanted a spare. This was the only business I could find that wasn’t a dealership to get a new key. 1. Answered the phone. 2. Confirmed vehicle details and provided cost. 3. Made an apt for the next morning. 4. Called back to get another key for my second car since I only had one. 5. Showed up on time and with the right keys and supplies for both cars. 6. Gave an extra battery and provided instructions and future cost if I ever lock myself out completely. 7. Cost was the same as the estimate- this is huge to me- no unexpected charges. 8. Polite and professional. Now, to find a device to locate my key if I do misplace them in the future.

Matthew Powell-Wasserman

Could would and do highly recommend this business. 11 minute wait from phone call to starting key repair/programming. Cheaper, more convenient, and friendlier than the dealership.

Called for an emergency, Dave and his assistant were to me within an hour and had me a new key measured and cut within the first 10 minutes of being there. Very professional, honest and relatable. If I ever have an issue I'd gladly call them again. They made my bad situation much lighter and stuck with me til the end.

TO avoid any confusion, I'm using my girlfrien'd's account, but my name is Adam. I had to get a regular, unchipped key made last week and the dealer charged me $43. $45 with tax. I needed a chipped key for my mazda 3 and the dealer quoted "$200 minimum and told me it would take between 45min - a hour." This wasn't lost or switchblade key the car doesn't havt power windows or locks so the key couldn't open the doors or windows electronically. Just a basic chipped key. Called up Dave and he quoted me just under $95 and said it shouldn't take more than a few minutes, he cut the key from my 1 original and the car was running in under 5 minutes. Since it was less than 1/2 price from the Mazda stealer, I asked for a second and he made that one for a discount. all told I paid less than 60% of what the dealer told me was the minimum for just 1 key. He also gave me a free blank for the non-chipped key I paid $45 for the other day. i'm taking it to a local lock smith and I'll have an extra unchipped spare for less than $10 in total.These guys are great, so great that I've actually pulled my tired old body off the couch to write this review. My son has a single chipped switchblade key that the dealer told me would cost between $600 - $700 to make a second. they told me if it got lost before the second was made, it would by almost $1,000. Dave quoted me a price for any uncut switchblade key that was less than what I paid for the two keys he cut me - and said a second switchblade key would be discounted, too. you can be sure we're getting two new keys from Pop-A-Lock first thing this week. Also, Dave was professional and so personable. I never left a review for any company before but these guys are absolutely top notch, fair and honest. they're not just nice, but they are super skilled. i love nice, but at the end of the day and between the two I'd rather have skilled and that's just what there are. With Pop-A-Lock you don't need to choose, they're great at what they do and great people. try them if you ever need a key, loose your only key or - god forbid - your young kid gets locked in your car. they'll get him/her out for free. even if you think you have enough keys, all it takes is loosing one and then having your dealer charge a good portion of your monthly mortgage or rent to get you back on the road so you can get back to work. i know i'm going over the same stuff now, but pop-a-key of maine truly deserves all this praise.

Had lost the fob and digital key for my 2006 Toyota Tundra. David from Pop-A-Lock was able to respond very quickly. Within 5-7 minutes he was able to provide a new key and fob, and program them correctly for my vehicle. Service was fast, friendly, completely professional, and correct in all respects. I recommend Pop-A-Lock to anyone who needs a vehicle key or has been locked out of their vehicle.

Lida Holst

I lost my last car key and was quoted over $1000 dollars for replacement at the Subaru dealership. Fortunately, I found Kirk at Pop-a-Lock and he replaced my key for a fraction of that initial quote. He was patient and persistent (my Subaru was being quite finicky) and got me back on the road in no time. Excellent service! Thanks, Kirk!

Peter Bragdon

Lost the key to our car. Pop a lock came right out and had a key in minutes. Very happy with service. Highly recommend them. Price was very fair!

Maureen Hogan

This service was AMAZING! The owner personally came to help us get keys out of a locked car. Not only did he arrive within ten minutes, but his fee was only $45.00 and his customer service skills were excellent. Highly recommend this service to anyone in the OOB area!!!!

C Daniels

Dave was great. Made new keys for my car and, bonus, recoded old keys so that they would work too! I was also pleased that I was able to use my AAA membership for a significant discount. I recommend Pop-A-Lock highly.

Frank Lepore

I called PopaLock after going to dealership where I purchased a truck (2017)--at the time when I purchased the truck I was informed that one key provided was the only one that opened the tailgateI returned to the dealership to have one made--they could not find the blank--long story short-- the professional at Popalock waited on phone while at his suggestion I tried the fob emergency key--it worked! They could have charged me for a new key This is an honest and professioal operation--do not hesitate to utilize their services

Ryan Hart

Dave from Pop A Lock called me and 5 minutes later he was at my place of work. He was quick and courteous, and in no time at all I had a new car key cut and programmed. I would highly recommend this company !

onalee corrigan

Wonderful service by provider. Polite, on time, verified the service was accurate key and worked for the vehicle. Can’t say enough positive about this company. So pleased to have found it on a Sunday afternoon following a 10’ snow storm. Thank you, Pop A Lock!!!!!

Cheryl Haggerty

All I can say is "wow"! I was stupid and lost ALL the keys to my car and kept being told that I would have to get my car towed to the dealer in order to get keys made for it. Well guess what? They were wrong. Kirk Ditzler came out to where my car was and made me several keys. He even gave me a handful of free batteries and a gadget that can track my keys from an app on my smartphone. I am so grateful for his great service-thank you Kirk!

Barbaradee Foote

Excellent & friendly service. I lost all my keys to my RV and they came out with the proper tools and got me back in my RV. They also had the ability to make a key for my 2017 Ram on the spot.... Now I shall continue the rest of my journey to California

MB Padfield

Had an issue with the replacement key I had made and solved it within a day when AAA didn’t know what to do. They were wicked great to work with on the phone. Quick and friendly. Couldn’t be happier.

Aaron Parise

Super professional, programmed a key for my truck in just a few minutes. Even showed me how to start the truck when the battery in the key dies. Highly recommend.

Carolyn Claiborn

So happy I called Pop A Lock when my key fob quit. I was sincerely impressed by on time arrival, extensive knowledge about the problem and willingness to make sure the job was done right. Thank you again for professional and competent service!

Nick Harrington

Cannot say enough good things about Kirk . Stopped in today to see about having a key cut for my Miata and he was very friendly knowledgeable and professional. A+ service couldn’t be happier.

Jordan Godin

The knowledge and capability of the Pop-a-Lock crew is outstanding! Multiple times I have needed their help and without fail they have been able to assist within a timely manner. I would highly recommend them!

Dustin Hughes

Provided grrat customer service over the phone and in person. Was not in a major hurry becuase i was at work. However when the owner arrived he had the door unlocked within seconds. Recommend them 100%

Kirk was exceptionally helpful. If I could give Pop-A-Lock ten stars I certainly would and will recommend this service to others. Thank you so much!

Ivy Desmarais

Thanks for the save Dave! Knowledgeable, quick, professional, and a great sense of humor. Thanks for getting us out of there before I froze to death ☺

Mark Calos
