  • I had “Pros On Call” change the locks on my home that I recently purchased. It was easy to get a hold of them, they made an appointment quickly and did a great job for a fair price. I had them come out about two weeks later and put a deadbolt lock on my front door as well and again - easy to get a hold of, they had to order an aged bronze deadbolt lock 🔐 but once it arrived they came out quickly, did a great job, were neat and it was a fair price. I highly recommend “Pros On Call” for all of your Locksmith needs! 5 Stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ for sure!!

  • Josh was amazing! I called him when I was locked out of my car, and he arrived within 20 minutes. He was professional, fast, and had my car unlocked in no time. The whole process was stress free, and his pricing was fair. I really appreciate how quickly he came to help. Highly recommend Josh if you ever need a reliable locksmith!

  • Josh was awesome, he came to the rescue and I didn’t have to wait longer than 30 minutes in total. He also was incredibly kind and understanding of my situation. Dropped off my kids, and somehow my key fab went missing! Also gave me a discount!!

  • It sucks they charge an inconvenience fee of 49.00. Which I wish you would have mentioned this on our intial call. Transparency would have been to say hey we charge an inconvenience fee. Never once was this mentioned. When we spoke with the representative all she said was the locksmith will call you with a price. Never once did she say we take your payment info so we can charge you an inconvenience fee. If that was mentioned then this would have been handled differently. She made it seem like we need a card on file to help. Then they attempted to debit my card twice for two separate transactions for 49.00. I understand you run a business. But transparency is key. I specifically asked her what I would be charged for never once did she mention this. Lesson learned. Update***she reached out in regards to my Google review. Although I attempted to resolve per phone call. Shameless.

  • I have been a customer of pros on call for like over 2 years about and have had to call on them about 6 times. I had used several other locksmith in the prior 15 years but once Roland , one of many these pros came over I never use sny other locksmith service. I am very happy with this company I usually asks for Roland because I know him best and I have developed a kinda professional friendship with him but you can't lose no matter who it is that helps you. All top notch pros. I have called days and night. I am elderley snd lost my keys and I had some stolen. I would tell anyone that ask to call this company. You won't find any better.

  • I had Zach come out to the property that I purchased out in Luling, Texas. It’s about 10 acres, and it has a garage with a corroded lock. Out of all the companies I have called, which is roughly 5 to 6. He was able to take my call, head out the next day, and take care of the corroded lock I need fixed on my property. He was extremely professional and helped me by giving me instructions on how to operate the lock as well! I’m in the military and not able to be in the area, so he was very understanding and professional. Highly recommend!

  • Their response time was great. Orlando did a great job. No replacement parts were needed and repairs took an hour. I was badly disappointed at the high bill, even with a military discount. Maybe that is why I couldn’t get an approximate estimate before Orlando came. Bottom line : good work, too expensive

AUTOMOTIVE LOCKSMITH QUESTIONS

Can you make a car key without the original?

Yes. We use the vehicle identification number to look up the key code and cut a new key from scratch. For transponder-equipped vehicles (most 1995 and newer), we program the chip to the car's immobilizer on site. No original key required. License #B19847. Call (888) 601-6005 and confirm your year, make, and model.


How much does a replacement transponder key cost compared to the dealership?

Dealer key replacement runs $200 to $500 for most models, plus a tow if you're stranded. Our on-site automotive locksmith service typically runs $150 to $300 for a transponder key cut and programmed, and we come to your location. Exact pricing is quoted before any work begins. No hidden fees.


Do you program push-to-start key fobs and smart keys?

Yes. We program proximity fobs and smart keys for most push-to-start vehicles including Toyota, Honda, Chevrolet, Ford, Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, and others. Some European makes require dealer-side coding that locks out third-party access. Call with your year, make, and model and we confirm in under a minute.


I'm locked out of my car in a parking lot. How fast can you reach me?

We dispatch immediately. Median Central Texas response is 14 minutes. Give us your address or a landmark - the H-E-B on Slaughter, the Target on Research, the Walmart on MoPac - and we route the nearest technician directly to you. Call (888) 601-6005 now.


What vehicle makes and models do you work on?

We service most American, European, and Asian makes and models from 1995 forward: Ford, GM, Chrysler/Stellantis, Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, Subaru, Mazda, Volkswagen, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz. High-security European models may require additional time. Call with your year and model to confirm before dispatching.


Do you serve Round Rock, Pflugerville, and other Austin suburbs?

Yes. From our Central Austin dispatch we cover Round Rock, Cedar Park, Pflugerville, Georgetown, Leander, Kyle, Buda, and San Marcos. We operate across 36 Texas markets. Drive time on I-35 and MoPac factors into routing. Call and we confirm your exact location and ETA.


What vehicle brands can you cut and program keys for?

We stock blanks and program keys for most major brands: Toyota, Honda, Ford, GM (Chevrolet, GMC, Buick), Kia, Hyundai, Nissan, Subaru, and most European brands. Older vehicles (pre-1998) rarely have transponder chips and are simpler to cut. For very recent or high-security vehicles, we confirm parts availability before dispatch.


Can you program a key I bought online?

Sometimes. Aftermarket transponder keys vary widely in quality. We can attempt programming with a customer-supplied key, but if it fails to pair with your immobilizer, we cannot guarantee the result. Buying the key through us costs more but includes a programming guarantee.


Do you carry ignition cylinders on the van?

For the most common American and Japanese vehicles, yes. For uncommon or luxury vehicles, we may need to order the cylinder, which typically adds one business day. Call and give us your year, make, and model -- we check parts availability before dispatching.


VEHICLE BRANDS WE WORK ON

We cut and program keys for Toyota, Ford, Honda, Chevrolet, Kia, Hyundai, Nissan, GMC, Subaru, and most European makes. For fleet vehicles, we coordinate directly with your fleet manager. Blanks for most 1995-and-newer models stocked on the van -- call with your year, make, and model and we confirm availability before dispatch.
