Q:
Can you replace an Audi A-3 key?
A:
Jackson, I see no one has answered this. For you and anyone else, I bought my 2015 Honda remotes with blank uncut key on eBay. But today I saw this place online. I have NOT tried them, but website inventory seems really complete… more

If you're looking for a preferred locksmith, let Kobi be the one! I reached out to Kobi in need of an additional key fob for my 2020 Forester Touring with keyless entry. He was available same day and had the fob in stock!
First of all, the fact that Kobi comes to you to do his work is an absolute godsend. I could still work from home and not have to spend time elsewhere just to get a spare key. When he arrived, he was extremely cordial and professional. He educated me on the importance of making sure I don't lose my keys, or else I might be out thousands of dollars with the dealership trying to reconfigure and "break into" my car. I said, "Amen! That's why I'm getting a spare before anything happens!"
He finished his work in under an hour, and personally showed me that the new fob does work, even with keyless entry! He even provided me with a spare battery for my fob, and kindly made me an addition house key in less than 2 minutes.
I never thought I'd be sitting here writing a review for a locksmith, but Kobi is truly incredible and I'll gladly tell anybody and everybody that he should be YOUR locksmith.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Your search for THE BEST locksmith for cars is over!
We needed a spare key for 3 of our fiats. It was incredibly hard to find anyone who could even make a Fiat key, but Kobi from PickBuster was so efficient, responsive, nice, and affordable!
Kobi loves his job, and it shows through his incredible customer service and professionalism. He was very thorough and explained what he was doing and why it had to be done that way.
It was easy to make an appt with him over yelp and when my appt date and time came--
He was exactly on time and even called/messaged me when he was about 10 min away.
He drives a large van that is his entire workspace! Everything is organized and it was really cool to see all his keys lined up with a table and toolkit.
Tips:
- He comes to you! No more fighting your way to find mall parking, or going to an expensive dealership.
- All of our keys work and are new and have the car logo on them.
- He said if we completely lost our car key-- it would have taken about 3 hrs to do
- He was here and done within 40 minutes to make 3 spare keys for 3 cars!
-Accepts Credit card, Vemno, or Zelle
Thank you Kobi! We highly recommend him for any and all of your car key needs!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - John K.San Francisco, CA02May 7, 2024
I do not usually leave reviews, but in this instance I must. I contacted Kobi and several other locksmiths yesterday about getting new copies of the smart key for my aging Lexus, and he responded very quickly, not just making an initial contact but actually telling me exactly what the charges would be. Within an hour we had made an appointment for today, and he met me at my car parked near the Castro MUNI Station and created the keys while I waited. He also discovered a problem with the lock cylinder and offered to repair it for a reasonable price.
Very friendly guy, super responsive, explained everything to me, and charged me a very fair price. What more could one ask from a professional? I will be contacting him again any time I need assistance with automotive or residential locks.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Kobi helped me get new keys for my Volvo while other locksmiths couldn't. It was much cheaper and more convenient then dealing with the Volvo dealer. Kobi was very professional and friendly.

Kobi is the best. He's quick to respond, he's flexible, he's great at his job and most of all he's a genuine and kind person. Used him for close to a decade and It's always a pleasure to see him, even though the circumstances of needing his services aren't always the happiest..
Pick Pickbuster and never lock back! ;)Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jul 7, 2023
We had an issue that required a locksmith and we reached out to three or four in the area and Kobi was BY FAR the most responsive and easiest to work with. He came quickly, took care of the issue without any fuss, and on top of that, was very reasonably priced. He will definitely be our guy should we ever need a locksmith in the future.

After my husband washed our only car key for our 2010 X5 the fob no longer worked. When ordering a replacement from eBay I thought it would be relatively easy to find an automotive locksmith who could program and cut the key, not so. Kobi at PickBuster was recommended to me *by* the third locksmith I had inquired with. Kobi was able to come that evening, he even picked me up at my apartment and drove me to my car, three blocks away. Altogether it took cutting two new keys took about 15 minutes and he even drove me back to my apartment afterwards. Kobi is a kind, patient business owner, a former software engineer, a good person, and a highly skilled problem solver. Also, his van is so well organized and tidy, he could probably teach Marie Kondo some skills.
