So pleased as usual with Fred the Fixer. Rec'd great advice prior to purchasing a keypad about what configuration (keypad on deadbolt or keypad on handle?). They communicated (called to confirm and again prior to appt). The install went so smoothly. But the reasonable price was really the icing on the cake.

Took a cylinder in for a 1974 VW Thing to get a key made. Not only did they not cut a key, they LOST springs and the sliding cover! These were original and impossible to find! No culpability, no remorse, nothing! Will NEVER recommend this business to ANYONE!! Sad. Longtime Sioux Falls business. Must be time to hang it up

We were visiting family in Sioux Falls, and I forgot the keys to our Yakima roof box back in Wisconsin. :-( A quick trip to Fred the Fixer, and 15 minutes later they had rekeyed my roof box. This place has been around since 1911, and I see why. Fast, fair, and a life saver. Thank you Fred the Fixer!

Today I did the unthinkable and locked my keys and my daughter in the car. I called one place who had no one available to come. Then I called Fred the Fixer. They had someone out and the door unlocked in 10 minutes. It was amazing. Thank you so much for helping me in a very scary situation.

Great service! I locked myself out of my house. They answered the phone right away. Very courteous when talking with me. The service tech called me when he was on his way and I was back in my house within a half hour of me calling them.
