Giddy Up Locksmith

Giddy Up Locksmith operates as a mobile locksmith service out of Richardson, Texas, and covers the full DFW area. Their work covers auto key replacement and programming, commercial rekey jobs, residential deadbolts and doorknobs, and emergency lockouts on houses, trucks, and cars. They run twenty four seven with no added charges for calls outside regular hours and back their work with a limited warranty. The outfit stays licensed, bonded, and insured while keeping a shop location that does not accept walk in traffic.

Customers bring them jobs like programming smart keys after the original blanks prove too thick for the machine to finish cutting. One case involved a damaged key fob and ECU that multiple other shops and a dealership could not fix, yet the team got the car running again. Shimi cut extra keys for a Jeep that started and worked without trouble on the first try. Other calls cover quick key fob swaps on cars and lockouts where the customer had no address on site but still got help the same evening.

They show up fast, with arrivals often inside two hours or even forty five minutes after the call. Service stays mobile so the technician comes to the vehicle or building rather than requiring a tow in most cases. Pricing for programming and service lands around one hundred twenty dollars in the Richardson area with no trip fees added. Reviewers note clear explanations when a blank does not cut right and helpful answers on follow up questions about other lock issues.

The reviews give the company strong marks on speed, knowledge of key programming, and keeping costs down compared with dealerships or other shops. Recurring comments focus on keys that work right away, professional handling of tough ECU and fob repairs, and reliable response even on short notice or odd locations.

“Good locksmith company. Called around 4–5 PM and came to my location around 6:30 PM. Already had a replacement smart key, just needed programming and emergency key cut. Prety professional technician, compledted key programming very quick with no issue. Did run into some issue cutting the emergency key. Cuz the blank was too hard and thick, the machine couldn’t fully cut the last side. Locksmith explained the situation and offered an alternative OEM key blank, decided to handle the emergency key later. Price: $120 for programming and service, no exera charge for dive up door in Richarson area. Chilling service. Appreciated and recommend.”

“Excellent service. He was professional, quick, and very knowledgeable. The key copy worked perfectly from the first try.”

“Shimi was very knowledgeable and professional. He made extra keys for my Jeep quickly and, more importantly, they work perfectly. I went to his shop location to save a trip fee. He has been very helpful in answering my questions regarding another issue, too.”

“Giddy Up Richardson was the answer to my prayers!!! I was dealing with a damaged key fob and ECU/ID code box from previous locksmiths. I spent an entire weekend with multiple locksmiths that couldnt program a key. So I towed my car to the dealership to see if they could program a new fob. The dealership told me my car was "bricked" and the entire security system and ECU would need to be replaced at a whopping $7,000.00 I towed my car back home and called every locksmith and no one could help me. Every locksmith told me there would be a fee ($100-$250) just to come out regardless if the could fix the issue or not. I felt so hopeless and prayed about it. Then Giddy Up popped up and it said "ECU reflashing". Giddy Up came and was able to resolve the issue and programmed the key that every locksmith and dealership failed to do! It brought me to tears. The Giddy Up technician fixed the issue in 15 minutes!!! Bless you Giddy Up and Thank you so much for saving my car!!! You have no idea how grateful I am!”

“I left my keys inside my truck. Everyone I called would tell me I’d have to wait till the next day to even get anyone to help me. GIDDY UP picked up and instantly said they’d be able to help me out. I work in a residential community that doesn’t have an address. Even with that hurdle, they kept their patience and managed to get to me. I’ll for sure keep them on speed dial from now on.”
