Rarely do you meet a professional who is committed, honest, passionate, and fair in pricing. This describes Garrett, the one-man show behind Key Doctor. As with so many "opportunities" in life, his detour towards locksmithing was unplanned: Garrett had become laid off as a research scientist. Not long after, serendipity intervened while he was observing a locksmith working on a little problem he was having and they got to talking. The locksmith, noticing Garrett's uncontainable curiosity, invited him to be an apprentice. Fast forward to last week when a fellow Yelper learned I was struggling to find a non-dealer to duplicate a difficult key. We've got a couple of older/used cars, each of which only came with one key fob. That's not uncommon but it does present some anxiety. I reached out to 4-5 locksmiths and also spoke to ACE and the Costco key-making roadshow (a van that schedules appearances 2-3 times/year). Several of the locksmiths could manage a 12+ yo Chevy sedan but none could duplicate the fob of a 20 yo E-class. The same was true for ACE. And the Costco roadshow was unable to accept either challenge. I was bracing for the MB dealership when a fellow Yelper reached out and said he just had a terrific experience with Garrett who duplicated a 20 yo Lexus (nearly as difficult as the German luxury cars). I contacted Garrett who promptly quoted me prices for BOTH and they were each about 30+ percent below dealer/ACE. He was out of the Chevy fobs but had been meaning to place an Amazon order for those anyway. He let me know two days later that they'd arrived and we scheduled a meeting place (he's mobile). It took just under an hour and I simply paid him in cash. In the meantime I had ordered a blank fob from eBay for the MB. Fyi, while the eBay listing very clearly stated it's circuitry and fit was compatible with our E-class/year, when Garrett tried to program it he learned that my spare fob was a 433 MHz (as listed) when our MB requires 300 MHz (I think it's the wave length at which the key talks to the ignition). Not to worry, Garrett had several of the 300 MHz fobs on hand and we simply traded! The MB programming proved as challenging as forecast and ultimately took several hours (the dealership had requested a 1/2-day drop off but I thought that was just a scheduling wish). It was actually the first time Garrett had done this era of MB and, at points, appeared to be learning on the job. But this is tremendous praise. He shared where the stumbling points were and how he intended to navigate them. His innate "scientist" really showed through and provided confidence for us. Sure enough, we got a eureka text from Garrett when all was solved. I have not found or learned of any other locksmiths that can do German cars yet, never mind at substantial savings, and again, with the grace and exactitude that radiated from the Key Doctor.

Yelp Helps !! I've put Key Dr. in my contacts. , says it all. I found the Key Dr. on Yelp Tucson locksmiths with 3 quick locksmiths responses I chose the Key Doctor! ( Dr . Garrett has a PhD in physics, read his resume " on Yelp ) I went to his mid town mid town address ( my choice ) for two new keys for my Lexus . He bought one new key on Amazon 17$ & I had another . He is able to program new keys also which was the intention ; but ended up removing the old keys programmed interior electronics into 2 new key fobs that he cut to match originals . Total cost was 75% lower than Costco traveling car key replacement service that cost 240$ for one new key ! This fix was basically 25$ per key ( without needing the new cut key's computerized to another service which is very difficult to find . ( Lexus dealer 400$ + for 1 key , Costco 240$ ! ) Dr Key is mobile , does cars , homes , commercial , lock outs , lost keys , & more et al . Highly recommend ! So grateful , thank you Doctor ! Contact him on Yelp ( his address no longer on Pima midtown but near near Rincon high school & north or Guadalajara Grille on Broadway . read more

## Five Stars: A True Lifesaver at 1 AM! Garrett at Key Doctor is nothing short of a miracle worker For my Husband & I. His response time was instantaneous, his professionalism impeccable, and the advice he offered was spot-on. Even though my key fob miraculously started working again just as he was preparing to come out, the fact that he was ready to drive to me at **1 AM** speaks volumes about his dedication. Knowing there's reliable 24-hour service like this is such a relief! Highly, highly recommend this dedicated expert. read more

He communicated well and solved the issue. He was thorough and reasonably priced!!!!!!!!

Amazing service! I had already had another person attempt retrieving my keys from the trunk of my car with no luck, so I didn't have much hope but he was able to figure it out! He went the extra mile (literally producing a tool in his car to not disturb my neighbors from the noise) and his price was much too fair. Additionally, his response time was super quick! Highly recommend, 11/10 :) read more
