World class service that is simply hard to come by nowadays. Ramon is a consummate professional. Called at 1:51 PM scheduled a 2:30 appointment. Shows up on time and by 2:36 PM key fob and key replaced and I’m on my way. Just Wow! Thanks again!

Fast service and gets the Job done every time the correct way. I’ve gotten multiple keys made and keys programmed from them for my business and would not call anyone else. You got a forever customer.

If you need a locksmith for any reason look no further. I was on vacation and thought I lost my keys and boy was it an argument with my old lady about me not having a spare set. I found them in our check in luggage but boy the flight home was stressful until I was able to check my luggage from pick up. I called around several places and was shocked at the quotes I received. I called Lockout Guy and Ramon showed up to my house and made me a whole new set at a fraction of cost. I definitely recommended him for any locksmith needs.

Great overall experience and service by Ramon. From start to finish, he had great communication and reasonable pricing. Ramon traveled 153 miles from El Paso to Bayard New Mexico to service our vehicle for key fob replacement and programming. I would definitely recommend his services and would use his services again in the future.

I had a great experience with The Lockout Guy. I called needing a new key fob for my car, and he showed up almost immediately. He had everything done within about 20 minutes, which honestly blew me away. Fast, efficient, and clearly knows what he’s doing.It’s rare to find someone who’s not only quick but also polite, respectful, and easy to work with. If you’re looking for a reliable locksmith who doesn’t waste your time, this is the one to call. Highly recommend.

Quick, professional, great price and service - Ramon was the perfect guy to work with.

RAMON The lockout guy! This man was professional, prompt, and honest. I couldn’t ask for better service. So before you go to your dealership for a fob reprogramming or key cut/replacement which by the way are ridiculously priced, CALL RAMON first! You won’t be disappointed.

I called and told this young man that I saw his truck and wanted a key/fob made and we scheduled my evening appointment. An hour after my scheduled appointment time, I called to see if he was on his way. When he called back and I told him he missed my appointment he kind of blew it off with an “oops I overlooked your appointment”. I was willing to reschedule and asked if I’d receive a discount for his mistake. Without skipping a beat, he said “I don’t operate my business that way, but I’m happy to refer you to someone else who might offer a discount”. A couple things that were wrong: the fact that he never offered his name on any of the times that we spoke (he doesn’t answer his phone using his name or his company name or thank you for calling), and he didn’t try to salvage my appointment. Unfortunately, he’s learning a lesson the hard way. It would’ve been much easier to offer a discount and come out and do an excellent job and earn a new customer who could then be a referral source in the community to his business. He chose otherwise, and this is the result. I wish him well in his business and hope he will learn some valuable lessons from this experience.

I recently found myself locked out of my apartment late at night and was fortunate enough to contact The Lockout Guy. Despite the late hour, he arrived promptly and got to work immediately. He was not only incredibly fast and effective in getting me back into my home, but he also made sure I felt completely comfortable throughout the entire process, which I especially appreciated as a woman alone late at night. His professionalism and expertise were evident, and his courteous demeanor put me at ease. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of locksmith services. Reliable, efficient, and respectful
