Not Your Basic Locksmith - Arlington

Rating: 1 star (because 0 stars isn’t an option) 0 stars for the owner. 1 star for the technician. Let me be perfectly clear: you WILL be charged, even if no work is done and even if they are not qualified to do the job. I contacted Not Your Basic Locksmith for a diesel SKIM issue and explained the situation up front. They still dispatched a technician and collected the mandatory $65 fee, then admitted on site that they could not communicate with the vehicle, did not have the required software, and lacked diesel knowledge. I was then told the job would need to be bench-done—something that should have been identified before taking my money. The technician was professional and honest. This review is not about him. The issue is the owner, who the technician called during the visit. During

Great work with excellent communication. They usually call me if there's any delays and fill me in on my car's issues with honesty I haven't seen at a dealership or franchise mechanic. If you need your key fixed or eletrical diagnostic I'd recommend them easily. They'll be fair and tell you the prices up front. If I ever have any key troubles I'll be going to them in the future.

Not your Basic Locksmith service is outstanding. I live locally and a technician came to my house 10 minutes after call inquiring services. I don't remember the gentleman name but thank you. The car was unlocked quickly and he also help me find the pad lock code to the care for future incidents that hopefully wont happen again. Thank you for your professionalism and promptness. 5 + stars

Not Your Basic Locksmith - Arlington TX came to my rescue way down in Alvarado TX I had error code issues all of a sudden that left me stranded. Eric the Technician made contact immediately and we arranged a diagnostic evaluation the very next morning. He drove down from Arlington and provided superior service and diligence in figuring out the root cause of my vehicles problem. I highly recommend them for Locksmith and Automotive Computer diagnostics and Superb Service.

Service was quick and reliable. Replaced lost Toyota Camry keys in less than an hour. I’m please with their services.
