They typically arrive within fifteen to sixty minutes and often complete work the same day, including travel between Midland and Odessa. Reviewers note that prices come in lower than dealerships or other shops, with quotes given upfront and confirmation that everything functions before payment. Calls are answered directly and appointments are set without long waits, though some customers outside the immediate area reported difficulty reaching service.

“I went to a doctor appointment and lost my keys yesterday. I had called several places which none of them could get a key before a week. I called Able Locksmith and I explained what happened and he said he would be there in about 30-45 minutes. Which he was. He was very quick in programming the new fob. Then he checked and made sure everything was working properly before charging me. I highly recommend them, I will recommend to everyone I know going forward! Very nice and professional man!”

“This guy is a joke. Called about having him help with a key and lock cylinder and he said he doesn’t have a store to help. He doesn’t want customers. Stay away from him. Rude and disrespectful.”

“Called about 2 keys, got it done for a way better price than anywhere else that called! Didn’t want to wait over weekend for a different locksmith and glad we didn’t. He worked very fast and was friendly. 10/10 recommend”

“I lost my only car key at work and my car was parked on the second floor of a parking garage and every towing company kept canceling on me because they didn't have a vehicle to fit in the garage. I was recommend Able Locksmith by Toyota dealership of Midland and also Mr Key since they didn't have my car key in stock, and Mr Key told me I would have to wait 1 week for it to come in. I was stressed with anxiety and worried about someone finding my keys and potentially stealing my car. I once left my keys in the trunk and called a locksmith and he bent my door and I had to fix it. I told Able Locksmith my concern about damage and he was able to open my car door magically without any tools. Just put a key in the door and it opened! Toyota gave me a super high price to give me new keys and Able Locksmith not only was able to come to me that same day I called, but he had my keys in stock and he unlocked my car without damage and gave me 2 new keys in a timely manner with about half the price that the dealership quoted me. I will recommend Able Locksmith to anyone who needs a locksmith in the future. Thank you!”

“If you live in Andrews do not waste your time. He was rude and did not offer someone in this area as a recommendation. He could not get off the phone fast enough. His customer service skills are pitiful. The bad part he was highly recommended by my realtor.”

“(Juan Espinoza-whom we highly recommend) from Mobil mechanic, he recommended Abel from Abel locksmith & was able to help. I ordered 2 key fobs on Amazon & able was able to program them both for me THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU🙏🏽 THANK YOU SO MUCH for your quick response & help.”

“Flushed my car keys down the toilet accidentally, with anxiety and panic setting in. Calling plumbers and maintenance for an answer and googling. Everybody agrees it's long gone into the sewer lines. Called him up the next morning. I chosed him over going to the dealership since they were closed. And in less than 30 minutes he saved the day making my car key again!! Highly recommend!”

“One of the most professional and kindest men you’ll ever meet. He has amazing prices that aren’t rivaled by anyone else and his product is that of quality. Mine so happened to be original equipment. Would have paid more than 500 more than what he charged me at the dealer. Hope to never see him again lol but if i ever need i will always call him for services. Will be recommending to everyone I know and again will always use him.”

“Our fob stopped working while my husband was at work. Able Locksmith charged half the price of any other company to come out with a new fob, and they even got the old one working again too, which they didn’t have to do. They exceeded our expectations and at a wonderful price.”

“Just called right now for a quote about my black Dodge Charger key fob I lost. I called to set up an appointment for the following week to get it replaced to my work place, and told me just to call that day and told me he’d be there right away.. that’s some good stuff especially when you’re in a bind. prices are very decent compared to elsewhere. Affordable and professional.”

“Amazing service! I called and he came out an hour later from Midland to Odessa and made a car key fob and ive never been more satisfied with my experience. Very polite and professional! Will use again if needed!!!”

“I called and he came out the same day!.. quoted me the price and that's what it was when he finished! Very professional and friendly and gave us instructions on what to do if we found the lost car key. Very satisfied!!”

“Was very quick and was able to cut and program a new car key for my vehicle. Very nice guy with lots of experience. Definitely worth giving him a call.”

“Locked out of my car for the weekend due to NO ONE having anything available (even contacted a dealership) and one place said they didn't even have a locksmith. Able Locksmith met me at the time with no fuss or hassle, quick and efficient. Even offered to drop the key off to me. Not going to waste time with anyone else again and will be calling them back to make a spare for me!”

“Very unprofessional; Lacks Communication. I called at 8:30 am and he told me he would come around the afternoon. Never showed up. I called at 5pm to see if he was still coming and he told me he couldn’t and that he was in Odessa.”

“This dude is awesome!!! Had my 2021 3500 up and running right away with two new keys… super kind and polite using this guy is a must”
