I'll give them 4 stars for existing, because it turns out, it is very hard to find a locksmith with a brick-and-mortar store where you can take a modern (switchblade) car key to be duplicated. They did this, but it was not without a little weirdness. When I walked in I said I brought my own key blank to make the copy. They rustled around and said they may not have the update for 2024 yet, and I assumed that meant software.

Super fast and efficient!!! I had lost both of my car keys. The dealership was asking for upward $2,000 to replace my keys and reprogram a fob. Not to mention I would've had to have it towed!

I did not know that this service was available, but I would recommend him to anyone who is having automotive lock issues!
