Really was so helpful in showing how the door lock “fooled” me into thinking it was unlocked ! Newer locks!

What a great guy, honest and professional. I had an issue with my door lock in my business today and he was a lot of help. Highly recommended. Thank you Tim.

Highly recommended, trustworthy locksmith. I’ve dealt with Tim the owner twice now for my wine shop Craft & Curd and our warehouse and he has done great work at really fair prices. Last year I got sucked into selecting a locksmith with tons of great reviews and received bad service from this other company. Happy to have found someone honest.

Amazing! Very nice people, got here super quick, and got the job done within an amazing time. Would definitely recommend to anyone! Told them we had our puppy in the car and he made sure to get here fast and get her out quick. Awesome customer service!

Emailed Tim on Fri to rekey our newly purchased home on Saturday. He was prompt, professional, and thorough. He explained the work he did on each lock, and even replaced a lock that was going bad due to a weak spring at no extra cost, even though the original lock was not installed by him. His prices are very reasonable and I highly recommend his services. Thanks, Tim!

We called and Tim was able to come out on the same day. He’s one of the few locksmiths around here that are licensed and he was up front with costs which were very reasonable. He even made some suggestions to improve security and stay up to firecode with the business locks. We were pleased with his service and professionalism. We will be recommending him to all of our friends and family. Thanks again Tim!

Hands down the best service we’ve had. We had just purchased a new home and wanted the locks changed. Tim was who took care of us. He was very professional, detail oriented, and provided excellent customer service. He took the time to explain everything I had questions about, and the job was very well done. He changed the locks on 5 doors and made sure all of them locked and unlocked with ease. Will use these guys again. Highly recommended.

We called him to change the locks on a eviction and he arrived right on time, but the cops didn’t. The locksmith waited 30+ minutes for the cops to show up and he happily changed the locks without any extra charge. In fact, he even gave me a free lockbox! Budget Mobile Locksmith was as professional and easy-going as they come. They have 100% earned my business from now on!

Wow! What incredible service. Tim Otero was prompt, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. He handed me his card which had the license number and he was wearing photo ID.

Son LOST his key somewhere at school.
We called the dealer, (to learn they could only code keys as far back as 10 years). After letting the car sit in the school parking lot for a couple of days in hopes of finding the key, we called Budget Mobile Locksmith. They referred us to Donny for the mobile, automobile key service. Donny was simply fantastic. By the time we called Donny, it was the weekend, at night, and even though we had given him nearly impossible odds of programming a key for this very hard to find car, he was so motivated to come do this job, (we) had to talk (him) out of it, finally at 9:00 PM. Met up the next day and he took care of the job that I wondered if it could be done at all. (Some lofty promises) But I’ll be ‘danged’ he lived up to every one (and then some). 5+ rating

Tim has been the most helpful person after buying a home in South Tampa. He re-keyed all of my locks quickly and with great service and a great deal. Two weeks later we had a door issue (not related to the work he had done previously) and when I called for advice, he came out and solved the problem for me. Kind, knowledgeable about home security, and efficient- highly recommend using Budget Mobile!

This is my 2nd time using Budget Mobile Locksmith. Tim Otero was just as professional and courteous as when I first used his service several years ago. He was prompt and explained what he would be doing as he re-keyed each of my 9 locks today. He quoted me a price for the 9 locks when I made the appointment last week and once he came out and saw that there were actually 3 additional locks that he’d have to re-key (double sided deadbolt), he still honored the original price he quoted. I was appreciative of that even though it was my error for counting the physical number of locks but not the physical number of keyholes involved. I’d highly recommend this business, the service is impeccable and super professional.

We are a real estate office in S Tampa and have used many locksmiths before, and needless to say, the experience never made us a return customer. Tim kept to his quote and was very honest and more than fair. We had issues with squatters in one of the properties we were taking over and he handled everything like a pro and I even felt safe. I will recommend Budget Mobile Locksmith to anybody needing any services they provide.

The Maniecki Pro Team has used several locksmiths but the experience was less than desirable. Budget Mobile Locksmith did not charge more than their quote, and even exceeded their service by securing a window for our property. With the issue of squatters in one of the properties, he kept our agent safe. We recommend Budget Mobile Locksmith!!!!

I would give more stars if I could. I locked myself out of my house while walking one of my dogs and my other one was stuck inside. He was recently diagnosed with cancer so he’s really sick and I needed to get inside to give him his medicine. I called Tim at Budget Mobile Locksmith and he said he could be to my house in 20 minutes. He was there is closer to 15 and got me back into my house in no time. If you are locked out, definitely give them a call!

I needed to have my exterior doors re-keyed as they used different keys and also needed a deadbolt lock installed in the door to my garage for additional security. Budget Mobile Locksmith sent a very professional locksmith who was able to take care of re-keying my locks, installing the deadbolt and he even installed a larger peephole in my front door so I could see out properly. The cost was reasonable and the work was perfect. He made me a new set of keys, cleaned up after everything and was very nice to work with. A few months later, I recommended them to my employer for some work on interior and exterior doors and he was very happy with the work. The locksmith was very professional, came out and gave an estimate first and when the work was done it was exactly as described and the locksmith cleaned up thoroughly after finishing. I would definitely recommend and use their services again.

I recently had a locksmith from Budget Mobile Locksmith come to our business to repair a Cypher lock. He quickly fixed the lock without having to replace it. This really made my day because I really didn’t want to buy a new one. Pricing was good, service was professional.Locked Out Kitty Cat

I had the fortunate instance to use BUDGET MOBILE LOCKSMITH for a property. Not only did the owner answer his phone right away, but he also made me feel at ease and assured me that when I fine tuned my timing to arrive at the property, he could be there to meet me within 15 minutes. Sure enough, I called him to let him know I was on my way and he arrived promptly as promised. He was able to quickly ascertain that the locks were NOT standard and solving the issue would not be typical. BUT, even when faced with a challenge, he was still able to swiftly, methodically and efficiently form a solution. Much quicker, neater and hassle-free than I expected, he completed all our locksmith needs. He came on time as promised, charged for his services as promised and was completely professional, likable and skilled. I would highly recommend Budget Mobile Locksmith and will continue to refer him any business I come across in the future. Thank you Budget Mobile Locksmith!

The locksmith that was sent was very clean cut and professional. He was knowledgeable and helped me with all of my locks in my new house. I needed a deadbolt where there was none and he was in and out in a jiffy. He did excellent work and even cleaned up after himself. He was cordial and very accurate and quick. It was affordable and worked into my schedule.

Changed locks and rekeyed so all keys matched. Went very well, and he went above and beyond by helping adjust the door (which was a bit offset) so that the deadbolts locked easier.
