“Good morning, I wanted to let you know that I truly appreciated Marley helping me with my flat tire on 7/13/17. It was a stressful situation as I was trying to get to work and he was prompt, very courteous and professional. He even took the time to put air in my spare tire since it was low to make sure I was safe to drive. It made the rough start to my day much better and he quickly got me going on my way. I tried to offer him a tip and he refused! It is not often that you receive such customer service these days, so I had to take a moment to recognize this kind gentleman and hope you will too. Thank you and have a great day.

“You saved me $102 plus at least 4 hours of my time:

I accidentally threw away my only 1998 Honda Civic car key. I called my Honda dealer who said ‘That key has a chip which must be programmed. You need to tow your car here and we’ll create a new, coded key for $140.” When I add the $85 towing fee to that, that’s a $225 total estimate per the Dealer.

Turns out, ’98 Honda Civic keys are NOT coded; Pop-a-Lock told me and confirmed this. Pop-a-Lock then sent Jesse G. right to my home in under 2 hours, therefore no need for a tow, no associated costs or time waste. Jesse created a new key – that works like a charm! – for $123 total, including new key + service/time/labor. Total experience was great! Jesse in particular was excellent, providing professional and comfortable on-site customer service.

Thanks! I was already kicking my own butt re: having only 1 key, then losing it … saving $102 on the ‘fix’ made me feel a lot better.”

“To the BIG BOSS,

I want to tell you a story about a man named Marlan, one of your employees maybe the boss, I don’t know him, I can’t remember him being with me, I can’t remember him helping me, I can’t remember him ……………period.

From what I can piece together, the following happened……………..

He answered my call to your company that afternoon, I think I called my insurance AARP Hartford to find you.

He not only changed my wheel ( the wrench bent and was useless, that’s why I called for help ) but guided me to hospital (Baptist South), called my wife in Maryland, and was at the airport to meet her and bring her to the hospital.

After bending the wrench, I next remember being in the ER at Baptist South some 4 or 5 hours later. My wife shows up around 11pm and I am kept there until about 7pm Monday night. They found nothing wrong and concluded that I had suffered Transient Global Amnesia, but not why.

So I spent Monday at the local Marriot and left for Maryland Tuesday, stopping in Rocky Mount NC and getting home Wednesday, without further incident.

First, I would like to thank you and especially Marlan who went above and beyond for me. He is employee of the year for me!!! One day he must tell me what went on, because it is a big blank for me.I want to apologize to him because I expect I was not very nice to him at the time and probably said more than I should. Now I offer my sincere and heartfelt thanks to him for what he did and to you for having him on your staff.”

“I just wanted to take the time to personally thank and commend your employee: “Anthony” for the outstanding service and assistance that he provided us on 14 November 2014 at approximately 4:17pm in the 1900 block of Jammes Road on the Westside of Jacksonville.

Anthony responded in a timely manner and was eager & zealous to assist us in our unfortunate endeavor. Without hesitation or delay he retrieved his tools and subsequently opened up the car for us without incident. His assistance enabled us to gain access to the locked vehicle, therefore enabling us to be able to continue on with our investigational efforts without any further delay or hesitation.

After completing his task, Anthony would not accept any gifts, gratuities, or payment for the services rendered. Anthony was polite, courteous, professional, and a stellar example of surpassing the kind of service that is to be expected from Pop-A-Lock employees / representatives.

Again, we greatly appreciate Anthony’s assistance, and wanted to make you aware of the spectacular service he provided us on Work Order # xxxxx.”

“I wanted to let you know how pleased I was with the service I received from Pop-A-Lock. Charles was efficient, pleasant and hard working. He was very helpful and explained everything to me before he started the job. I re-keyed my home and he took the time to make sure everything was working correctly before he left. I will recommend Pop-A-Lock to my friends and family in the future.”

“I would like to thank the locksmith (Anthony) that came out to my house last night (March 5th).
Unfortunately, we were locked out of our home and Anthony came shortly after I placed the service call and was very experienced and courteous. I really appreciated the care he took when unlocking our door. He definitely demonstrated the highest level of professionalism. Thank you for your outstanding service.”

“On Wednesday March 5th, I locked my keys in my car in my driveway after returning from teaching. Just got the used car and it doesn’t have an extra key. I called Geico and they got Pop-A-Lock on the line immediately. Anthony was here in 10 minutes and finished in about 3 minutes. Painless. Thank you.”

“I placed a service call thru Kia for a flat tire on 01/18/2014 and wanted to report that I received excellent service from Anthony! Anthony responded quickly with a very comforting and professional attitude! He had my tire changed in no time and had me and my daughters back on the road.”

“I just want to recognize the hard work and genuine care that your technician GERALD displayed during our service. Gerald arrived promptly, was professional, friendly, kind and compassionate. I was locked out of my car with two young children in tow and had lost my key inside a Dailey’s Gas Station Store. It was hot outside and getting hotter as my husband was NOT happy having to come and get me and deliver kids around town as I continued to search for my key. Even after Gerald unlocked the car, I could not leave as the key was still missing and my car’s alarm kept sounding every 10 minutes or so causing several Dailey’s customers to make less than supportive comments to me. Gerald kept his cool and continued to be very helpful and patient. We appreciated his service as well as his demeanor and will definitely use Pop a Lock again because of him.”

“Good afternoon, This email is with regard to roadside assistance provided today at approximately 3:45pm. I am writing to give recognition and my heartfelt thanks to employee Doug Owens #16, for wonderful customer service. The battery in my car died while I was at work today, which just so happens to be one of those manic days where everything needs to go right and you’re crossing your fingers that it will… and of course try to keep level headed and positive about, well basically, everything. It’s been a challenge this past week and today, not enough hours in the day, deadlines and high stress, if I can emphasize the word manic. And to top it all off, I was on my way to deliver timely documents – and could not start my car. Perfect timing, of course. Mr. Owens not only came way before the anticipated arrival (the courtesy call estimated 40 minutes), but he provided excellent customer service, courtesy, and professionalism at its best. Mr. Owens is a credit to your company, and I hope he is acknowledged as such. My thanks to Mr. Owens and Pop-A-Lock, best wishes and continued success to him and your company.”

“At the age of 69 (Sunday was my birthday) for the first time in my life, I locked myself out of the house. I had a 6 o’clock appointment and it was now 5:30. When I spoke to your representative she said it would take 30 minutes for the tech to get to my house. I told her of the urgency and she said she would relay my message. The young man was at my house in less than 30 min. Carl worked fast and he was really a “people person”. His demeanor kept me calm as he tried his best to get me in the house and to my appointment on time. I cannot say enough for Carl’s professionalism and his expertise in helping me to get to my destination on time. I was only 15 minutes late. Which, by the way, no one even noticed. Sunday was also Father’s Day. Since Carl is a dad, I was sorry to have interrupted his day. Please thank CARL for me!”

“I have a 2 year old autistic child who got locked in the car today. Due to the wonderful people you have working in your company she was in the car for only 23 minutes total. Despite the fact that it was 93 degrees outside she ended up being okay. I thank you so much for your quick response to this emergency. I had to get my daughter inside quickly to cool her off so all he made me do was sign the invoice. I will definitely recommend your company in the future. The other great thing is that you don’t charge although I would have given everything I had at that point. Thank you very much and keep up the great service!!!”

“To Whom It May Concern, This past Friday I managed to get locked out of my car with the engine running at a Bank of America near the drive thru. I was beside myself as my cell phone was also in the running locked car. I had a real busy day ahead and being locked out of my car was the last thing I needed. I went inside the bank to use their phone and they told me about your company. I’m new to the Jacksonville area so I was unfamiliar with the name. The dispatcher was very pleasant as well as having a calming voice – I don’t remember if she said her name but she too was very helpful. She informed me someone would be at my location with 30 minutes, great. To my astonishment, Sid showed up within 10 minutes easy, and was in my car in under a minute. He was my hero Friday morning and I was truly impressed with the professionalism of these two people. In our busy lives we tend to only write companies to complain (I’ve written my share); however, excellence should also be commended and this is what prompts me to write you this letter. You have some very fine employees and they took very good care of me. If I ever get locked out again, and hopefully I won’t, it is still a wonderful feeling to know that if I do, your response time is par non. Thank you and Sid for helping turn around my Friday.”

“Hello, I recently locked my key in the trunk of my Mercedes. I was visiting Jacksonville, FL from NC and was about to leave when I locked the key in the trunk. The car has high security locks along with an alarm system and my other keys were in NC. The first technician told me over the phone that a technician experienced with high security locks would be required. Charles Monson responded and arrived at my vehicle shortly afterward. He was very courteous and knowledgeable. He was able to open the driver’s door, but we were unable to open the trunk or reset the alarm. He then was able to pick the trunk lock and provide me access to my key so I could begin my journey back to NC. I thought Mr. Monson did a great job and was very professional and that is why I am taking the time to write you today. He certainly takes great pride in his work and it shows.”
Aurn S

“We called from the yellow pages for a locksmith to help us install a new door lock in Jacksonville, FL this afternoon and consider ourselves lucky to have been assigned Charles Monson. He came earlier than expected and was so helpful. It is rare these days that I feel compelled to celebrate someone who goes beyond basic polite service. Charles was engaging with my 80 year old Dad and went well beyond the usual “thank you sir” conversation. He convinced my Dad to rekey the locks to as few keys as possible which makes his life (and mine) less complicated, as well as installed the new lock and fixed a few other minor problems. He took the time needed to explain the needed requirements of the job, and also put at ease my Dad who was not too sure of the need for a locksmith at the time. I am sure that now that he has his card he would not hesitate to call him which is an ease for me as I live out of town. If you ever need a more formal recommendation please do not hesitate to call or respond to this e mail as I feel strongly that you should know what a good ambassador Charles Monson is for Pop-A-Lock.”

“I just wanted to thank you all at Pop-A-Lock for your help! I had the horrifying experience of accidentally locking my baby inside a new car. I was still getting used to the car and hit the lock, rather than unlock, button before opening the baby’s door. Your service was there within 10-15 minutes. Your employee, Tom, was very efficient at opening the door with no damage to the door. He must work for the downtown office since I was in the Baptist downtown hospital parking lot. Thank him again for me; he was a life saver.”

“Imagine my horror when I realized that I had locked both my purse and my 20 month old grandson in the car! I returned to Publix Market (Mandarin) where the service attendant immediately called Pop-A-Lock. George arrived in less than 15 minutes and quickly released the lock on my 1991 Aerostar. My grandson was unharmed but my pride was bruised. This very courteous service provider quickly calmed my distress and allowed me to feel that this can and does happen to lots of people every day. Adding to my relief, he kindly told me that there was no charge for this service–I would have paid just about anything! Thank you.”
