Dave & Mike's Locksmith

Dave & Mike's Locksmith takes on locksmith calls in Laredo. They cut keys, program car fobs and remotes, handle lockouts on houses and vehicles, and swap out indoor locks. The name points to Dave and Mike running the outfit, with techs like Aldo heading out on jobs. Customers reach them for lost keys, stuck doors, and damaged fobs on cars like a 2009 VW Passat or 2015 Dodge Dart.

Reviewers describe calls for spare keys after losing the originals, locked cars with keys on the dash, and bedroom doors that need opening at odd hours. Aldo got to one spot fast and finished a replacement key in ten minutes. Other jobs included programming new fobs in thirty minutes total, fixing a water-damaged key on the spot instead of waiting on dealer parts, and handling a house lockout on a Saturday when a dog sitter got shut out. Some jobs wrapped in five minutes once the tech arrived.

They show up in thirty minutes on many calls, answer messages through maps in decent time, and work nights or weekends when needed. Prices land reasonable for most, with one lock job at sixty dollars and others coming in well below dealer quotes or the sixty to one hundred twenty range callers got elsewhere. Service stays in Laredo, with techs meeting people between other stops. A few reviews note cash-only quotes and delays when promised times slip by weeks.

The record shows mixed feedback on speed and cost alongside repeated mentions of phone rudeness, hang-ups, and missed arrivals. Google lists 3.9 from fifty seven reviews.

“Negative stars if possible. Called to see if a simple key cut could be done and the level of rudeness from the guy that answered the phone was unbelievable. He said he has to do everything or nothing at all. Didn’t even let me explain that I have the other key fob that is already programmed just needed the cut. He just hung up the phone very rudely.”

“I would give ZERO stars if I could. Contracted them 2/19/26 for a job they promised me they would do 2/20. On 3/10 I called & emailed for a status; never got a reply. Called 3/11 and David tells me he can be out in an hour. I said the job was promised 20 days ago. His reply? "Well, you can cancel & find somebody else then" and hangs up on me. This is the level of "professionalism and accountability" you can expect.”

“Great service, Aldo arrived quick and did the work quick. Really nice person too. I called for a replacement key since I lost the original and he finished in 10 minutes after he arrived.”

“I called this company to ask about a quote for service in a retail store. Our company has stores all throughout the US and was in shock when I was told they only accept CASH. I would be cautions to hire them for any work.”

“A little pricey but Awesome service ..like saying goes you get what u payed for..i payed and got fast, excellent and profesional service……my 2009 vw passat key was water damaged…They replaced the key with a new one and programed it fast..when dealership would take atleast a week because they needed to order parts then program it..with out any hesitation i will recomend his business anytime…”

“Quick response 30 min he had both car fobs done. Even made me a deal when i asked if I can get another car key. Great service.”

“Had to call for service on a Saturday. We were out of town and my dog sitter accidentally locked herself out of our house. I was worried about a Saturday emergency service costing an arm and a leg. But the price was very reasonable. And he made it out fairly quickly. I was so grateful. Definitely recommend to anyone in need.”

“Amazing service. We had a bedroom door locked. Called him at 9pm on a Monday night. He was here by 9:15 and finished by 9:20. We were very happy with the service fee being reasonable prices at $60. Thank you !”

“Great service, could not recommend enough! Locked my keys inside my car left them on the dash, called them and they arrived to my location in a reasonable time. Not only did they come to me in such a great time, they were pleasant and extremely affordable (can’t stress this enough) If I’m ever in Laredo and happen to be in the same situation, I wouldn’t think twice about calling them. This is your go to people!”

“Great communication, they programmed my 2015 dodge dart remote quick and easy. I was impressed at how fast it happened. Very courteous and polite and really well worth it. Trust me they sure are worth it.”

“Great service. Locked my keys inside my car. They arrived to my location in a reasonable time. They were able to take care of it really quick. They are extremely affordable. Thank you so much. I appreciate your help. Awesome customer service.”

“I just had a key replacement today and he came to where I was located. He did a great job and was pretty fast. I’m very happy with the work, quality, and the time it took to replace. I recommend this business to anyone needing a key!”

“Very friendly and fast service. I needed a vehicle key to be copied. They answered my messages through google maps in a timely manner and came over to my house at a designated time. It was fast and easy. Very friendly service and very affordable.”

“Hands down the best price, best quality and the friendliest locksmiths out there. I had been calling around and received quotes to cut a copy of a car key and had gotten prices ranging from 60-120 dollars with no guarantee. Dave and Mike came through, met up with me in between their calls, made time for me and cut my key for a fraction of the price! I highly recommend these guys, they are awesome, do quality work and WON'T rob you blind like most of the other people out there!”

“I'm a General Contractor and scheduled for the next day's service (Indoor Lock replacement); the technician agreed with my time and day (between 1 pm-2 pm). He didn't show up at the job site and got offended by my call requesting information about when he would be available. He told me that I put pressure on them, and he doesn't work like that better to cancel a job if I was going to be waiting and in a bad mood. Quite arrogant. He explained that he got more extra work at the same service, which I understand, I replied that he could call me to change the appointment time, and he got pretty offended. This is the second time failed me. The first time he confirmed to cut and program a Sequoia 2005 key, and after three times in 3 different days, he couldn't program the key. Waste my time. I paid even if he insisted on returning the money and swearing to do a better job in the future, which is clear; he is just unprofessional. Need better customer service.”

“Go somewhere else, I was about to give them a try but they seemed rude and arrogant over the phone. I would rather pay more to not have to deal with them. Seems that everybody has had the same issues according to the comments.”

“Fast and reliable service. Highly recommend.”

“So happy I got recommended this company! Super friendly and helpful people. Were even available at late hours and did their best to help fix my problem and ended with amazing results! So thankful :)”

“I was in need of a spare key for my car. They were able to accommodate my request and provided me with a new key fob. When an issue arose where my original key fob lost its programming after receiving the new key, they were quick to fix the issue and now I have two functioning keys. Thank you for the professionalism I handling the problem.”

“Who ever answers the phone male employee super rude lacks of interest his customer service is atrocious. Called another locksmith got the job done if they don't want out business just don't answer the phone and go back to school this job is not for you. There are a lot of better locksmiths in Laredo this company is not one of them . Horrible experience not recommend I would give 0 stars but they don't have none .So give your business to someone else do not go with this company.RUN”
