I just heard about Gibson Key from someone I do business with. In the past I have used other sources for spare Keys and such. Let me tell you these guys know their stuff. They made me replacement keys that worked great! While I was in their shop I inquired about electronic key fobs and replacements. They told me that they could replace the fob for my car and told me the price. It was a good chunk of change, but they said if I had the parts from the old fob, they might be able to help. WELL DONE MATT! Thank you! He fix the Fob! I can not say enough great things about these kind gentleman.

Update as of 16 Oct 25:
Improved to 3 of 5 Stars, bc I was sent a text stating that a refund for the two damaged keys was initiated. Once the refund is received and KeyMe confirms in their update to this review that they have corrected the issue with the “paw print” keys at the Franklin, NC Walmart, I will update my review to 5 of 5 Stars.

Original as of 9 Oct 25:
Starting with 1 of 5 Stars, bc 2 of the 6 keys I pai for came out of the bent and unusable. In photo provided, top key is the original, bottom two are bent at the hilt.

I Googled car keys made near me. Minute Key showed up at Lowe’s. I drove there and followed their kiosk app to get one cut. Car keys were the 1st choice on the menu. After entering Make/Model/Year 3 times only to be bounced back to the Start screen 3 times with no error messages nor other disclaimers. Then I saw small sticker on the front which read “No Car Keys”. Nice, huh? But they asked for email address which I passed on!

Oh, when I told Lowe’s service desk, they said, they could cut a key on their own machine which they quickly did. Lowes’s: Great! Minute Key: Bait & Switch!
