To make this short, if you can hire any locksmith but Heloh's then do so because this locksmith (Armando the owner specially) 1. Gives you false promises 2. Initially gives you very low quotes but then raises them so you end up paying more than what initially agreed on 3. He doesnt care about his customer's time AT ALL. Want to know why I say everything I say? Then read the whole review I contacted Armando on Sep. 2 to get a REMOTE key for my car, he said he would do the job for $230 with the car's original key. (Keep in mind I wanted the car's original key not a spare key, I wanted the remote key!) He said he would come to my house at 10.45am, and he ended up coming at 5.15PM more than 6 hours later than what was agreed. Because I got mad due to his tardiness he said he was going to discount $25 off of the $230 So he came at 5.15pm he gave me a SPARE KEY not the REMOTE key that I wanted and told me to only pay him 100 for the spare key and that in 2 days that the original key arrived at his shop I would simply pay him the remaining $105 and he would give me the REMOTE key. To keep it short this was on Sep. 3 Sep 19 comes and I still dont have the key. By this time I have already contacted him on Sep 8 and Sep 13 to see if I can go get the key, each time he gives me a new excuse and tells me that someother day he will be able to do it I call him today to ask whats going on, his brother answers the phone and tells me Armando is in San Diego and that he will answer my message as soon as he gets back Armando texts me around 9pm today Sep. 19 telling me that change of plans That the quote that he had told me was wrong and that if I wanted the REMOTE KEY, which was what I wanted since the beginning, I would have to pay him an extra $190 so now the price of the REMOTE key went from $205 to $290 since remember I didnt ask for a spare key he said he was giving me that spare WHILE the remote key arrived Now let me explain, prior all of this I had already contacted 18 other Locksmiths and if I stayed with Heloh's was because of the quote that Armando gave me was the lowest, and because He said for 230 he would give me the original Remote key I had contacted another locksmith that would do the original remote key for $230 on Sep.5 but because we were on Sep 3 and Armando said $25 off due to his tardiness I dismissed the other Locksmith because stupidly I thought I would save money. If I wanted a SPARE key I would have called another locksmith that was willing to do it $75 So in short this guy will give you a very low price to try to get a hold of you, then he will change the quote Now I ended up paying $100 for a SPARE key, and if I want the Remote key I have to pay another 190 so it will total 290 when I could have since the beginning payed 230 for the REMOTE key Needless to say this is a very HORRIBLE company with very HORRIBLE costumer service skill and ZERO professionalism If you give a client a quote and a date You stick to that quote that you gave and to the date that you promised to do the job. I will not EVER be calling this Locksmith again and neither should anyone who reads my review, I have pictures of all of the messages with dates and times Heloh's locksmith is a waste of time! Be aware!

  Broadway Locksmith and Armando at Heloh. Heloh is mobile. Armando is 562-234-1811 and Broadway is 562-985-3040. Armando isn't my favorite but if you need someone right away he will take care of it.

  Michelle Marie Engelman Berns: LOVING our move from Houston Texas to LB but need to find a locksmith shop who makes keys, prefer a Mom and Pop or small place over Home Depot. Yelp isn't helping. I'm used to driving so I don't mind if its not right in my neighborhood of 7th and Park.
