“I am so grateful I found David at CARHAX!! He's the real deal. My purse was stolen which contained my car keys and home address so I had to have the locks changed on my car. Not only did he do the job quickly, he did it at a reasonable price and educated me about how to keep safe in the future. He went out of his way to help me and I feel his customer service is excellent. He really values his 5 star ratings and he definitely deserves each and every one of them. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an honest and knowledgeable car guy.”

“I was in a pinch, and I needed keys cut for my Nissan and nobody else would even attempt it. I called Carhax and he came through and handled it. Highly recommend — the experience I've had here in the Seattle Area with locksmiths, they always try to upsell you or are never true to their word. Save yourself the trouble and call Carhax.”

“I had a great experience with this auto locksmith. I needed a replacement key for my Lexus, and he went above and beyond to help me. He was extremely kind, professional and patient throughout the entire process. What truly stood out was his generosity — he even provided me with an extra key, which was an unexpected and thoughtful gesture. It's not often you come across someone so helpful and trustworthy.”

“Saw stellar reviews and decided to try Carhax to duplicate and program two aftermarket Ford key fobs. The reviews were spot on. Not only is David extremely knowledgeable, and well equipped with tools, but also a master of his craft. Don't think twice, just pay him a visit for keys or any electronics that need repair in your vehicle. All at a fair price!”

“David is a total genius with cars and such a genuinely kind person. I needed to change the locks on my car after the spare key was stolen. After speaking with a few companies, David immediately stood out. He was the only one who came across as a true expert, and he freely shared detailed information just to be helpful, even before I'd committed to working with him. The service he provided was just outstanding and the best car experience I've ever had. He truly cares about his customers.”

“David at Carhax replaced a 2020 Toyota RAV4 key fob, after other locksmiths said they could not do the job. David's work was accurate, fast, and informative. Compared to prices I saw that others on the internet had paid for similar work, his prices are very competitive. I highly recommend him.”

“Thank you David @ CARHAX for providing a fast and dependable service to obtain an additional key fob for my daughter's VW EOS. The key works perfectly, and the cost was less than half of the dealer's estimate. No complications and a lifetime warranty — what more could anyone want?”

“Nothing short of outstanding service! This business and its owner David are the real deal. Had a second fob made at a fraction of what the dealer wanted. David completed the job within 10 minutes and his attention to detail and pride in his work were both very evident from beginning to end. As an added bonus, he provides a lifetime guarantee on his work, something you definitely won't find elsewhere.”

“I came here to have a key programmed for my 2025 Toyota Highlander. I initially tried another locksmith near my home, but after struggling for an hour, they couldn't fix the issue. Carhax resolved the programming perfectly in about 20 minutes. He explained everything clearly and was extremely friendly and professional. I left completely satisfied.”

“Brought my Mercedes S550 in to have new keys programmed. David got me in immediately and not only did he get everything working on the remotes but also reprogrammed the push button start which others told me only a Mercedes dealer could do. In addition to doing the keys he did a complete scan of the vehicle at no extra charge. He was a fraction of the cost compared to the dealership.”

“I needed new keys for my Jetta. Other places told me it was too complicated to program and make copies. I got 2 OEM program key copies fast with great quality, and on top of that he gave me insurance for my keys in case I had any issues he would fix them for free. Got it done at a very reasonable price — I couldn't be happier with his work!”

“Very responsive, flexible, and always willing to go out of their way to provide excellent service. I lost my keys and Carhax took care of ordering a new key from the dealership for me. He was one of a small handful that could help with a Volkswagen lost key, which is notoriously difficult to duplicate — and he provided the best price and service out of the lot.”

“Just got home from David making me 2 sets of keys for my car. Our communication was top notch — David answered every question I had and offered many choices of fobs. His professionalism and expertise made me so glad I went with him. Not to mention he had the best prices. When he was working on my car he noticed my radio wasn't working right and spent 1 hour fixing it at no cost.”

“I cannot say enough good things about Carhax. I lost my only car key and every other auto locksmith I reached out to did not do Land Rover. David responded extremely quickly to my request. He was so helpful and patient and was very upfront with any potential additional costs. David was able to save me thousands of dollars compared to the dealership. If you find yourself in the unfortunate position of having to replace or reprogram keys for your vehicle, do yourself a favor and reach out to Carhax.”

“I don't usually write reviews, but after working with David to fix/replace my car door lock cylinder, I understand why he has so many great reviews already. David was very accommodating, responsive, and transparent. He obviously has a lot of experience in this field and not only does he clearly care a lot about what he does but also how to do it well. He was able to rekey a brand new lock cylinder to match my current keys and fixed a part of the door lock actuator that a previous mechanic had messed up — all in under an hour. Highly recommend!”

“Very happy customer! I lost all keys that would start my 2003 Miata. Had several locksmiths and shops turn me down due to the age of my car. Then I found Carhax and David, who knew what he was doing with the older programming and chips. David programmed 4 keys for me and went out of his way to program a couple of remotes. Not to mention he drove down to Tacoma to do the job since my car couldn't move. Excellent service, great price, highly recommend!”

“Carhax LLC saved me when no one else could. Fast, professional, and 100% reliable. They showed up exactly when they said they would, handled everything with precision, and got me back on the road with a perfectly cut and programmed key — right on the spot. I've dealt with other locksmiths before, but Carhax is on another level. Clean work, no damage, fair price, no games. If you need automotive locksmith or mobile service, this is the company to trust. I won't use anyone else.”
