Initial review VS REVISED review: Mike is awesome and I can appreciate the fact that he has great pride in his business/reputation! My first initial contact was through my car dealer almost 6 months ago (which he came to me) I did purchase an additional device outside of what the dealer covered that day. That device did stop working for me this week which I called and left a message (outside of business hours) and Mike called me back that same day and we were able to set up a time the very next day to meet and he reprogrammed my key fob in no time!!! I am so grateful for his professionalism and willingness to help so urgently. I was a little skeptical to call only because great customer service just doesn’t seem to exist anymore but I’m so glad that I did call and everything went so smoothly. Revised: Welp the excellent customer service I once experienced went out the window this go round. This business will take your money give you faulty parts and blame it on you when it no longer works. I only used this service bc Lexus of Richmond sent them out to replace my car key, sold me on a key fob which I spent nearly $200 for and within 3 months the remote no longer worked. Replaced batteries only to realize that the remote deprogrammed (I’ve purchased key fobs from other businesses and never had to get reprogrammed 3 times in one year) I had no problem going to them due to the malfunctioning remote (travelled 30 mins) everything worked fine, then a couple months later the fob doesn’t work again. I called and was grateful I only had to go 6 mins away to get reprogrammed only for 5 days later I go to unlock/start my truck in 20 degree weather w 3 kids and the doors wouldn’t unlock. Texted and called asked could I please come to them today due to being 9 months pregnant and delivering my baby in the morning to get reprogrammed and was ignored sent to voicemail and told to stop calling. So now I’m left to use a key to manually unlock the driver door rush to start otherwise the alarm will go off and then unlock the other doors to let my kids in the car (2 under 1 years old) in 20 degree weather. Mike was my initial contact the first 2 interactions. These last two time was 2 different guys Mike was no where in sight. Spend your hard earned money at your own risk, this business doesn’t have 1 star reviews for nothing.

The prompt service, the high level of professionalism, and ability to create a key was a very smooth transaction. It was a pleasure meeting Mike and would definitely use his services again in the future.
Description of Work: I called Mike and we spoke a few minutes and he gave me his price. I checked with several other competitors and was dragged around by them. At first the competitor gave me a price of $120 to create the key, program the key and arriving at the location. When the service technician called me, he asked me what price the office had provided and I stated $120, he contacted the office and they called me back. The office told me that since they did not know that my vehicle had a chip that it would cost an addition $120 for a total of $240. I politely declined and contacted Mike again. Mike was very polite and when I asked him whether the price was all inclusive he stated that I would not pay any more than he quoted on the phone. Mike gave me an approximate time of when he would arrive and sure enough he was here within 5 minutes of his window. Mike checked thoroughly that I was the owner and my identification before starting the work. Mike was able to quickly determine the key pattern and was able to ensure that it was cut properly. Since he was already here, he offered to sell an additional key for $65. In the end the price was less than the quotes from competitors and ended up with two keys and completely programmed both. Mike is highly professional and I would highly recommend him in the future to provide replacement keys for my home, auto or business. Do not look any where else, trust in this small business owner and his ability to deliver a high quality service at a reasonable price.
