They do not program keys here, they clone them. Your car will see both of your keys as the same key. If your car allows you to program more keys if you have 2 different keys, then you will not be able to program more keys with a cloned key. You will have to have them clone more keys for a fee. No matter what the man behind the counter tells you, don't believe him. If you need a programmed key you will need to go to the dealership or find a better locksmith.

I don’t understand how this place is still in business. I arrived at 11 am on a Friday and there was nobody inside, even though they open at 9 am. I called several times and finally someone answered saying they would be available the next day. I am here again after calling a fourth time to confirm they were open and was told I could swing by before closing. Not even 1 pm and they are closed again even though they don’t close until 2 pm. How professional.

I dropped my kets down a grate two days before I had to leave for vacation. I called them the next morning and they were able to get the key I needed transferred from their suburban location to the 79th St. shop the same day. Both the locksmith and the woman on the phones were friendly and competent, helpful and professional. Will be going with them for future lock and key needs!

Went in earlier today with my dad to get a replacement key for our Toyota corolla. I do not remember the name of the gentleman who helped us out, but he was very helpful and had us out the door with a new key in less than 15 minutes. Great service and quality. Definitely would come back.

I was disappointed with paying over $6.00 for a mail box key duplicate especially after they told me over the phone that they charge $4.50 for a mailbox keys duplicate. The fellow at the desk seemed nice but he said that was the price the computer gave him . I previously had the same key made at another location for $2.50 but they are on vacation .

This company is not good with keeping appointments, I have made an effort to give them business on several occasions because they were in the area and past experiences have been good. When you call for service and they actually do come out the workers are friendly, but you're stuck waiting around all day for them. I have scheduled appointments weeks in advance for large projects and to get quotes on repairs and they never showed up. On the last two attempts to use them, I got a call days later from a 678 area code asking if they can come now. I let the guy know I waited the other day and no

I called their emergency service on a Sunday to see if they could replace my lost car key. Their answering service called, and they said that they could not get in touch with a technician. She said she'd have one call back. I called them later in the day to see if anyone was available. The call service again said that they couldn't get in touch with a technician, and she could not guarantee that they'd back to me that day.
I called again on a Monday, and I got through to the business. They said that no on was there the day before. Then, they said that they could not make a

I lost the keys to my ford f 150 downtown last Saturday night.. Pretty sure I left them in a cab. Tried getting the cab company to locate the driver but no luck. After 2 days I got quotes from a few companies. Keyway was the only 1 that a locksmith answered the phone and not a call center. I read stories of people getting ripped off and I didn't want to spend the money in the 1st place but they were straight up.. Hope I never need them again but they made the experience as easy as possible and I got 2 keys cheaper than having it towed to you know who..!
