Reviews

Written on Google, quoted as written.
“Made me an entirely new key fob for my 2013 BMW 328i in less than an hour! Reasonably priced, great service through and through. Even upgraded my key fob to the newer G series one!”
“The old key to my car was really deformed and wasn't working in my vehicle. I called this service and they were out super quickly and replaced my key for a reasonable and fair price. I would definitely use them again!”
“Great service! Had me taken care of within an hour of me calling, gave me the original key and my old one back since the key itself still works. Wonderful customer service.”
Tampa is where We Do Locksmith started
The Howard Avenue shop opened in 2016 and is still the busiest of our three. Tampa's mix drives the work: downtown and Channelside condos with electronic access and a single physical key nobody can find, Hyde Park and Seminole Heights bungalows with original hardware, the sprawl of new construction in Riverview and Wesley Chapel where every closing means a rekey, and a car culture that keeps our automotive vans moving from Westshore to Brandon.
Reviews name the technicians because the same people have been answering these calls for years. That is also why the Tampa Business Profile carries more than three thousand of them.
MacDill, the airport and the causeways
MacDill Air Force Base families in South Tampa, travelers locked out of rentals at Tampa International, and the daily traffic across the Howard Frankland and Gandy bridges shape how we dispatch. Military and veteran customers get a discount on every service with ID. For rental cars we open the vehicle; new keys for a rental need the rental company's authorization, and we tell you that up front.
Beach towns across the bay are served from Tampa with longer drive times, quoted honestly. When the bridges are backed up, the dispatcher tells you rather than promising twenty minutes.
Questions we hear every day
How fast can a locksmith get to me in Tampa?
About twenty minutes inside Tampa from the Howard Avenue shop. Brandon, Riverview and Carrollwood are a little longer, and Pinellas or Pasco depend on the bridges and the hour. The dispatcher gives you a real window when you call.
How much does a locksmith cost in Tampa?
One flat price for your specific job, quoted on the phone before dispatch, and that is what you pay unless the job itself changes. No service-call fee added afterward and no night surcharge that was not in the quote.
Do you make car keys on site in Tampa?
Yes. Blade keys, transponder keys and smart fobs for most makes are cut and programmed at your car, including all-keys-lost jobs. A few European makes restrict key data for some years; we say so before booking.
Is We Do Locksmith Tampa a real local business?
Yes: a shop at 408 N Howard Ave, Suite E, with a counter you can walk into, our own dispatchers, and technicians in marked vehicles. The Google profile has more than three thousand reviews you can read.
Do you offer a military discount near MacDill?
Yes. Active duty, reservists, retirees, veterans and dependents get a discount on every service with ID. Mention it when you call so it is applied to the quote.
