I gave Affordable Car Keys five stars because of their professional and promptness. I highly recommend this company to anyone who is locked out, requires auto keys made or any other locksmith service. Dilland and Trevor,, thank you so much for resolving my issue. John Smith98672024-10-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Professional on the phone, professional and timely in person. These are THE GUY’s to get. And more importantly they know what they’re doing. I got them saved in my phone and will be telling my family about them. Dealership quoted me $400 for replacing my fob, $220 for these guys (took $20 for me driving to the tech instead of him driving to me. Their equipment is clean and will cnc a new physical key in the back of their work van. I like this key that I got and feels better than the Chevy OEM one I had, slimmer, more solid feel, and has remote start, and more importantly cranks our car. Whenever my car had trouble cranking with the software recognizing the new key because in the system it was requiring a second fob, they drove out to me, and gave a second key free of charge. As I get older, the more I appreciate and recognize professional service, skilled techs, and an honest charge. These guys have all three. Please I’m begging you to use these guys, keep their business going, so next time me or my family needs them they’ll still be going strong. - Happy customer Brian Osbourn2024-08-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
