One of the best and most professional experiences I’ve ever had with a Locksmith. Before coming here, I had a negative perception of what Locksmiths could be. After spending 20 minutes with Dom, I was totally blown away by his expertise and his willingness to just figure out the issue with my door lock. It was incredible and I will ONLY be doing business with these guys in the future. YOU should too. Incredible.

Went in for an Automotive key after spending over a month going back and forth with a different shop for the same key and having it cut wrong twice. They completed the cut and programming in less than 10 minutes, works flawlessly, highly impressed.

These guys know their stuff. I ordered two GM remotes because my old one just stopped working for no reason. One of the remotes they got in didn't work, so after some investigation, the main guy that works there figured it out. I forgot his name unfortunately. Not only that, he didn't charge me the extra it costed for the OEM remote, and he got the old one working again. So now I have three remotes total (had a newer one as well as the original before I started all this) and I only was charged for one regular new one. I got more than I wanted, and they charged me cost and ate the difference for

Super quick, efficient, and friendly! I called midday on a Saturday about a house lockout. They had someone over less than an hour later. He got us in very quickly (much faster than the last locksmith did, the one other time this happened)! Very reasonable cost and everyone I dealt with was friendly and professional. They'll be my first call if (most likely WHEN) we have another lockout!

I had a problem with my rental car this weekend, even though was holding the key in my hand, it wouldn't open. I called a couple numbers from search on my phone, but they sounded like call centers. I remembered Yelp, and found A-Max. They have great reviews, and look like they can handle brand new 2021 rental cars. I talked to Bill, he was very patient, had me try a couple of things, they didn't work, so he sent out some help. When the locksmith from A-Max got there I was on a conference call for my job, he got my rental car key fob, figured out the issue, reprogrammed the car and everything

I was quoted at 110 for a spare key buy i had my broken key with me. The guys were darn honest of telling me that they can replace only the blade part of the key. I have an 2003 Jetta.
They replaced the blade of the key for 39$. They could have charged me 112 for making me another key. On top of that they are the most affordable guys in town for this service. All the other 4 places were charging for the same key between 186-245$.
Thank you guys. Really appreciate it. And it was worth driving fron Vancouver to Beaverton.

I was almost ran off the road this morning by 1 of the drivers who thought I was going to slow on the freeway. ( mind you I was doing 60 in a 55. He swerves around me and literally pushes his way next to me forcing me to the side as to not collide. I honked and my response was a middle finger. Mind you my grandchild was in the car. Very unprofessional and super scary/dangerous. I will never use this company based on that persons rude and road rage behavior.

Save yourself the hassle and head to A-MAX when you need a spare. A-Boy recommended we go to A-MAX because they didn't have the blanks we needed. I wish we'd come here first, but now we know for future reference. Friends, it is WORTH IT to go to the specialists. A-MAX was speedy and friendly and they know what they're doing. Better prices and service than any key-making desk at a hardware or big box store. Quite the selection of safes and lock accessories, too.

Very pleasurable experience throughout with A-MAX. Bill was great for ease of scheduling and their pricing was upfront and clear for what I was asking for. I was looking to rekey my entire house and add some deadbolts so it was a larger residential job. I felt like I laid out what I wanted pretty clearly, and Bill was able to give me an accurate ballpark of the total instead of just quoting rates, which was great.
Matt came out (on time) and had a great attitude. A true professional. Matt was extremely helpful and make you feel at ease with understanding what and why he's doing the things

This morning (5:20AM) I locked the keys in the car while the engine was running when I called the dispatcher said it would take 60 minutes before they could provide assistance. 15 minutes later the president, Bill, who was on call and not working his regular shift, explained the process and has my car unlocked quickly. It was wonderful! Thank you!

They may be okay for small, residential services but they are not adequate for business purposes.
They were supposed to provide a quote for several locks, keys, etc. for a business (work would be thousands ) -- we had to ask them twice for the information after 2+ weeks of waiting...they didn't bother to call back or explain...just dropped the ball.
They are clearly in over their heads in handling professional work -- avoid them, not worth the trouble.
Also, Paul is snarky and Bill doesn't bother to call back....Matt is not too bad.
