I highly recommend Charleston Locksmith. Omar was wonderful, skilled and extremely knowledgable in giving us the best options for new installation in our home, as well as being a super nice guy. Their appointment scheduling was swift and their customer service was superb. When I had questions about my installation, Sean (Manager) was extremely helpful and thorough in assisting me. Kudos to their front office team of women who truly understand the value of customer excellence. No need to call any other locksmith as they are committed and focused on maintaining a fair and professional business in the Charleston area. Highly recommended!

Omer, great guy, lots of patients. Save us almost 200.00 on a key fob for my truck vs the dealership price. Need a locksmith, I highly recommend Omer at Charleston Locksmith 👍👍

Richard Hartung

Omer was extremely quick and efficient with creating a new key for me. He was super nice and trustworthy. If I need a locksmith again, I will only be contacting Omer from Charleston Locksmith! So happy he was my technician!

Great service! Came quickly and between the call, the arrival, and the unlocking — it was done in under under 10 minutes. I loved how seamless the whole process was and how kind Inon was as well. Definitely made a stressful event a lot more bearable.

Ivory Rufus

*update* i had to add pic for proof i called. Absolutely not! I called for a quote and they were nice.....but heres where i have an issue. I just needed a spare transponder key. Not a fob. Just a spare key to start/unlock. They took my information and said id be getting a call in a few minutes with an estimate..... The next call I get the technician was "on the way". I said no thank you I would just like a quote please. I told him exacrly what i wanted. Then the salesman tried to sell me a fob that won't go to my vehicle. I said, no thank you, I want blah blah blah. He said we'll I got something better...... AGAIN, I said no thank you I just need a transponder key. My vehicle is not a push start I just want a basic key....he then said "well the fob is better"......$275 thats cheapest I can go.... Ok, sir, im not worried about the price I just want a quote in the key I want. "Well I can do 275 for the key" ????? Look, I dont like pushy salesman, im also not nieve. I know exactly what I want when I called and then this man tried to hustle me and quote me the same price as a FOB?! I said you know what "thank you for your time" and the man got louder and tried to keep me on the phone. So I hung up. Thats not the way to do business. I called knowing exactly what I needed and wanted a quote thats it. Not to be hustled.

Taylor McCormick

Shay came out to set up a new key fob for my car. He was very quick and the appointment didn’t take long at all! Super convenient that they can come to you and work with your schedule if you need a spare key!
