American Eagle Locksmith — Local services in Fletcher

I was quite distressed last night when my grandson called me to pick him up at work but my key would not move whatsoever in the ignition -- even though I attempted to move the steering wheel. I had to call AAA for a tow. The tow driver attempted several times to start the car for me and finally got it started, but it was obvious to me this old car needed the ignition switch replaced. The Acura dealership service department was closed for the weekend as was my auto repair shop. I googled automotive locksmiths and found American Eagle. Since they are close to me I called them. I was told that the older Honda & Acura vehicles have problems with these ignition switches. I was expecting a repair cost of $150 or more but when I got there Al looked at my key and came out to my car, sprayed the ignition with WD40 and inserted and withdrew the key numerous times, each time wiping off tiny grains of dirt. He could have charged me to replace my ignition switch but did not. I asked him what I owed him and he responded, "Owe for what?" "For working this miracle!" I said. "No charge." I will definitely use and trust them for any future lock...

I spent the day going to Lowe's, Walmart and a local Chevy dealer looking to have a set of spare keys for my 2000 Pontiac Trans Am. None of these places had the correct blank key for my car (I was surprized the Chevy/GM Dealer didn't have it, as most people known Pontiac was built by GM).

But both the Chevy dealer and Lowe's told me to try American Eagle Locksmith in Fletcher, NC. Thou it was 20 miles from the Chevy dealer, I decided I had nothing to lose.

When I got to American Eagle I walked up to the counter and ask if they could make me two sets of key for a 2000 Trans Am, which out even looking they said yes. Within 3 minutes I had two full sets of keys (at the Half the Price the other locations were going to charge me if they had the Key Blanks).

I walked out of American Eagle and tried both sets of keys and they worked like the originals. I was very happy I made the trip to Fletcher and would recommend them to anyone who needs any type...

I'm an auto tech. So this review you really need to read. I know hondas and there keys will destroy every lock in you car once they start to wear down. I bought a car with 250k on it and the key finally would not turn in the ignition. I did what everyone does in a panic and sprayed all kind of stuff in the cylinder. DONT DO THAT EAGLE SAYS. It makes their job harder. Called them up after AAA refused to help. He said take the ignition switch out and bring it to me with the key. I'll take your old key apart. Put the chip in a fresh key and rebuild your cylinder. Not giving out prices because every job is different. They saved me hundreds of dollars. I was blown away. They even cut a valet key for lockouts. I'm telling you now before you call me or the dealer call EAGLE! I'm sending all my customers...
