  I have been here 4 times, every single time a problem. First time, normal quickset house key. Didn't work correctly, I had to shake it to make it work. Brought it back to be adjusted. They blamed it on lock wear (the lock was only 3 months old). Second time was for a VATS car key that has a resistor in it. Factory key that I bought online if I recall they wanted 3x the price I paid. They cut it, but it didn't work correctly. You had to jam it deep into the ignition to work and the security light would often come in while driving. Because it was sitting correctly. They tested it and said it's working fine just a little tight. Because that was it because I didn't buy their key. I end up filing the tip of it myself to fix the problem. So I got copies of a key made a 4 or 5 months ago. I never tired them because they were just going to be spares. Checked them today, and they would not go into the lock. Brought them back and told them, they said I would have to shave the key down or something because it's worked in another lock they had. Fine, I thought maybe since it was a lock in a screen door, it might have a more narrow key way or something (even though it's a standard kiwi key that I was copying) I had three more copies of a different key made. key made. 2 out of the 3 again did not fit correctly. These were for a common Defiant door lock. Again VERY hard to put into the lock. The first one of the 3 works fine, so obviously it's something they did while cutting, or the quality of the key they're selling. Ended going to Home Depot. They cut the keys I requested for almost half the price and they all worked fine. Tried to be nice and support a small local business, wrong choice. Never coming back to this place.

  They are quick and honest. I called for 2 quotes around El Cajon for a basic car key copy for my car at $150. I was referred to Kwik key for something else but asked what they charged..$6!? That is crazy! I got 2 copies and will always go to them.

  Stellar service and professional attitude. The owner is very friendly and helped me get a new key fob for my car that works perfectly for much cheaper than the dealership (saved like $200). Overall great experience, I've recommended several friends to this place who had the same issue :)
