In their words
The night they got back in.
“Locked out at midnight with a sleeping baby in the car seat. They quoted $65 on the phone, the tech was there in 18 minutes, and the bill was exactly $65. No drama, no upcharge.”
“Lost the only fob to my truck. The dealer wanted me to tow it in and quoted $500+. Redbird programmed a new smart key in my driveway for less than half that. Showed his license without me even asking.”
“Rekeyed every lock the day we closed on the house. He explained the price per cylinder up front, checked my closing docs and ID, and was done in 40 minutes. Felt safe the first night.”

PSA Austin: if a locksmith quotes you “$15 and up” over the phone, hang up. Nobody runs a bonded van for $15. Our service call is a flat $19 and the job price is quoted before we touch your lock. Ask. Every. Time.

Reminder: a real locksmith will ask for your ID and proof you live there before opening a door. If they don’t — that’s a red flag, not convenience. It protects you as much as us. 🔑
