Customer Reviews
Bud Fallon
Unbelievably good service. The other two companies I wanted to get a new key from cost $500 and $550 respectively and we’re going to take two weeks. Owens got me two new keys in two days for $350 and he was unbelievably kind and friendly. Highly recommend.

Super nice guy and excellent communication! I accidentally dropped my keys into a toilet at a retail store and was completely locked out. I was able to get ahold of him in less than 45 minutes, and he quickly got me set up with new keys—plus extras. Honestly, probably the best price you’ll find around here. I called a few other places and they wouldn’t even attempt to program a key, but he found a way and got everything figured out. Highly recommend
Ashton DeJong
Owen did a really good job on our service & was pleasant and personable to work with. He's very passionate and enjoys what he does. "You'll never work a day in your life if you enjoy what you do"
Would definitely recommend and use his services again if needed!
