I normally don't bother with reviews but I think this business truly deserves to be noticed.
I needed a key fob programmed and didn't want to go to the crookedly overpriced dealership to get one, so I asked my locksmith if he could do it for me. He told me he didn't do key fob programming so he recommended Mr. Kobi Shriki of Pickbuster Locksmith.
I called Mr. Shriki the next day and was very surprised that he answered the call immediately, identified his business as well as himself, then told me he is with a client and asked very politely if he can call back in an hour. I was very surprised when he called back exactly an hour later and asked me a few questions about the key fob after which, he told
me he can do it. I was relieved!... Because the dealership told me the key fob will cost $400+tax, the key cutting at $200+tax and the programming at $200+. All in all, it's about $900.00 give or take a few dollars.
We made an appointment for the next day and I was again impressed by his punctuality!... I had just awakened when he arrived. He told me it will take about an hour to finish and again, he finished at exactly the time he told me!... In my mind, I thought is this guy for real?!... I wanted to pinch him to make sure I'm not dealing with an AI robot. And after he gave me instructions on the new key fob, I realized he was human. Hehehe...
Get this, he's already charging me half of what the dealership quoted me, and still, he wanted to give me further discount which I refused. I was so appreciative that I gave him a very good tip instead. I would like to give the highest recommendation for Mr. Kobi Shriki of Pickbuster Locksmith. FIVE STARS for service, professionalism, efficiency, and cost.
I'm now a lifetime customer.

Best regards,

  Bought a used Fiat that only came with one key. Went to Putnam Fiat in Burlingame to get a backup key. Going into the 3rd month of waiting, they turned out to be completely incompetent ending with my canceling the order for the back up key and getting a refund on the prepaid key.

My mechanic suggested I call a locksmith. Enter Kobi from PIckBuster. He called back within a short amount of time. Arrived on time with the Fiat key to program. It took all of 15 minutes! And he was kind enough to charge my battery. A total gentleman and a mensch. If you want professional service, on time performance, and a man who is salt of the earth, call Pickbuster Locksmith. If I could give him 10 stars I would. Thank you Kobi!

  I called several locksmiths in a panic when my family was selling my dad's 1955 classic sports car and the ignition key went missing. They all said they couldn't help - except for Kobi at Pickbusters. He asked for the cylinder code and sent a picture showing where to find it, researched the blank (hard to find), sent us a link to a site that would send it ASAP. The blanks arrived in two days, he came to my house at 5pm; tried some advanced software which didn't work, then went old-school - removed the ignition cylinder, used a scope and found the proper cut from that! All the work was done from his van. He replaced the cylinder, and both blanks worked... Truly, all I prayed for and more than I hoped to get. He saved us! You won't find a more skilled or devoted locksmith in the Bay Area. Highly recommend. I won't go to anyone else.
