    Ron Polk responded immediately. Ron was professional and calming in a stressful situation. He determined how he would address my issue quickly. It was extremely challenging but Ron was patient, resourceful and used the necessary tools (and some muscle) to get the job done. Thank you for a job well done!

    I locked myself out of my car with the key sitting in the passenger and the police couldn't help. Other companies I called were over a $100 while here was $95 and Joe was so amazing and very knowledgeable! A real professional problem solver that goes above and beyond, was also kind enough after to make a spare just to open the car door

    Joseph helped me with a key for a Honda CRV and did a great job. Only took him a day to get the key and just a few minutes to get it programmed. Key works great and was considerably less expensive than the dealer. Very good experience.

    Joseph was very knowledgeable regarding new key fobs for my 2012 Ram 1500. Joseph had me in and out in less than 10 minutes with 2 new working key fobs. My neighbors will appreciate not being woken up in the early hours with a car alarm going off.

    Excellent, friendly service. My 2024 Honda CRV keyfob was ordered, programmed and ready to use in 2 days. Cheaper than the dealer! Also was able to copy a mailbox key that Home Depot and Ace Hardware were not able to duplicate. Highly recommend- ask for Joe!
