The key FOB worked like a charm

The key FOB worked like a charm. The technician - Darnell, was fantastic. He programmed, cut and had the key ready in less than 5 minutes. Everything works on the FOB so I am very happy and would certainly recommend.

Completed as promised. Quicker and easier than dealer.

Key fob was a type that needed to be cut and programmed by a dealer. Got quotes from three Ford dealers requiring an appointment and two to four hours of time in the shop. I used Car Keys Express instead. The tech came to my house on time and completed the job in about a 1/2 hour and charged much less. The fob lacked the Ford logo shown in the picture, but perfect in every other way.

Professional service provided

Professional service provided. Communicated well in regards to our appointment time and explaining the process as this was our first time having someone come to our location to cut/pair keys for our new-to-us vehicle. The tech that provided this service was very friendly and kept us up to date on when he would be arriving. 10/10 would do this again if I needed keys as it was very easy and stress-free. As a mom of twin toddlers, I always appreciate a service that makes our life easier!

Never received a working key

I was charged $152 for a key but it doesn't work and I was told I need to contact a mechanic because the ignition is worn out. We had no problem with our key that we lost. I would like my money back.

Huge shoutout to Jake the tech at Car Key Express! He was professional, friendly, and incredibly fast. He made the whole process easy and stress-free, and had my key programmed in no time. You can tell he really knows what he’s doing and takes pride in his work. If you get Jake, you’re in great hands. Highly recommend Car Key Express — top-notch service all around! 🔑🚗🙌

I cannot say enough about our…

I cannot say enough about our experience with Trevor at Car Keys Express. He went above and beyond to help us get a replacement fob, and what really set him apart was how much time he took to educate us. Trevor didn’t just hand us the fob and send us on our way. He sat down and walked us through exactly how to use it properly, showed us all the features we weren’t aware of, and most importantly, taught us what to do if the battery dies in the future so we’re never caught off guard. He explained the warning signs to watch for and gave us practical tips on maintenance. Trevor’s attention to detail, his patience, and his genuine care to make sure we felt confident using our new fob made all the difference. The whole team at Car Keys Express was efficient and professional, getting everything done quickly without sacrificing quality or customer service. If you need car key services, Trevor and this company are absolutely worth your time and money.
