A terrible experience in all aspects. Brought in an aftermarket key fob to be cut and programmed to my vehicle. Lady on the phone gave me prices for the service, the fob if you buy from them how much for both. Told me you can bring in your own fob and obviously just pay for the service. Anyway, the guy at the store who was programming the fob comes back and tells me it wont program to the vehicle. Then tells me these aftermarket fobs usually dont work anyway, yet expected me to pay the full price for the service. I asked why I wasnt told by the lady on the phone that most 3rd party fobs dont work and I would still be responsible to pay full price if it failed. The guy said why should I have to tell you that? The lady even said she made a mistake not giving me that information. Anyway, I told him I didnt feel I should have to pay the fee and how much would it cost for him to order a new fob through his store? He stated he could do that and not charge me for the failed programming. I was set to to do that, but I guess he didnt like me mentioning it didnt take him long to try it and he was on the phone for over 15 minutes talking about short wave radios with somebody. Anyway, he just pushed both the original fob and the other fob that failed to program back to me and told me he didnt want my business. Completely unprofessional people and I can see why there are so many negative reviews. Wont ever go back there and will let others know to avoid this place.

A few years ago, I bought a Volvo 245 as a project. Previous owner had lost the keys, so I needed some new ones made for the locks. I called around and most places turned me down as soon as I said Volvo, but not Coats. They were willing to take on the job and quoted me a great price, so I left my lock with them.Im sure this was a decision they regretted deeply, because holy moly, I had no idea a little door lock for a 1985 station wagon could be such a can of worms. They looked and looked, but couldnt find replacement parts needed to disassemble the lock to decode it, so the locksmith called the original manufacturer of the lock (in Germany) only to find out that parts are no longer available, and the only way to swap parts from a donor lock without ruining them is with a fancy-pants $300 set of specialty pliers.This was many times the price I was quoted for the job, so naturally they called and told me that they wouldnt be able to... nah, just kidding. THEY BOUGHT EM ANYWAYS. I happened to have some spare locks from another 240 I parted out, so I left them a couple as donors. Once they got the pliers, it wasnt long before they called and said my keys were done! They didnt even make me pay for the special pliers, either!Coats went above and beyond for me. Im beyond pleased with the work theyve done, and you can bet Ill be coming back for any locksmithing work I need done in the future.

Prices are good but the key fob I bought gives me issues every couple of months and almost every time I go they’re closed that specific day without reason given. It’s been a lot in a couple months. They also say they’re 24 hours but they almost never answer the phone and are definitely not 24 hours. Also the guy is pleasant enough but the woman is always on her phone or something and acts like you being there is an inconvenience and is unwilling to do much and flat out says she doesn’t know what she’s doing or talking about.

Went above and beyond with services. I needed 2 keys cut and programmed for my Honda civic. The dealership was going to change $175 each. I bough the uncut keys online, and was able to have both keys cut and programmed at a 3rd of the price!

Had car keys programmed and cut successfully. I did not like that they charged the programming fee weather or not the programming was successful with third party keys. Overall I would return.

A deadbolt installed will not slide in unless the door is slightly open. The door knob installed on the front door was loose after installation and fell off in a few weeks. I have called for three days and can’t get any assistance. I am going with someone else.

Incredibly helpful staff, expert service, and their work is always spot on. They will let you know if something is cheaper to fix or replace. This is the kind of business we need to keep around.

We thought that we had lost one of the two sets of keys to our motorhome. RV keys can be a pain as many locksmiths dont stock the blanks and have to special order them.The gentleman at Coats made up 2 sets for us in just a few minutes. Very helpful and friendly. The keys all work perfectly - better than the ones that they were cut from. Of course now that we have the new keys, we found the lost set!

I special ordered a key and paid in full. I was promised a call when the key arrived in 5 - 7 days. When I called 10 days later, I was told the key was in and I scheduled to have the key programmed. I received a voicemail 2 hours before the appointment and was told they couldnt do it that day, call for another appointment. I called 3 times in the next week and was promised a call back. They NEVER called back. On the fourth call I finally have another appointment. I hope they dont decide to cancel again.

I came in looking for certain size blank key and the lady (who was on her computer) told me she didnt have time for me to look at 1000 keys to find the one I needed. I kid you not! Thats what she said. Ill never go there or tell anyone else to go there.

These are by far the most rude and unprofessional people I have ever dealt with. They lied to me numerous times on the fee, once I brought up AAA they were extremely rude and cut me off! Price changed and gentleman(far from a gentleman) on the phone on Sunday gave me a quote initially then after I brought up AAA he said he would not drive to Oklahoma as he would receive a 1000 fine and he would not risk it, then when calling back on Monday they said they would(obviously they didn’t know who I was) but it was double the price of any other locksmith in the area and 130 more than his quote the day before(prior to AAA conversation.) They must be family because both people on 2 separate days were extremely rude! I cannot believe these people can stay in business!
