Updated review:
I have adjusted my rating from a one to a three. The owner, Rob, reached out to me to rectify the situation. While I still cannot vouch for using their services, I can say that it is evident that he is committed to customer service. I absolutely believe he will be using my experience as a tool to educate his employees. As for the prices, they would have been much lower (roughly $100 per Rob) for what I needed but again the lady didn't listen to what I was telling her. Thank you, Rob. I appreciate you reaching out.
First review:
I just got off the phone with these people and will never call them again. I spoke with someone named Lola(I believe). As I was explaining what I was needing, she interrupted me multiple times. First, she interrupted asking what city I was in. I told her and continued on explaining that I have the key but need a new key cut and programmed from the original. She interrupts me again asking for my address. As I'm trying to tell her the address, she cuts me off again saying she couldn't hear me. Professionalism speaks volumes to me and that includes the tone you use when speaking to people. There is a difference in interrupting someone, sounding annoyed and saying, "I can't hear you," and waiting until they're finished speaking and saying, "I'm sorry, ma'am. The volume on the phone is too soft and I'm having trouble understanding you. Do you mind speaking up?" I was at the point of giving her my state when she interrupted me. You were really in such a hurry that you couldn't let me say my state and zip code before rudely interrupting me again. I understand that there are situations where you need to get the information fast and people take too long to tell you the information you need but the entirety of this phone call was 2 minutes. After I raise my voice to give her my address, she asks for the year, make, model and color of my vehicle. She next asked if my car was a push start, to which I answered no. Then, she says, "So you need to put the key in the ignition to start the car?" Yes, if it doesn't have a push start, how the hell am I going to start it without putting the key in? For the grand finale, she quoted me $295 to cut and program a key that has the lock and unlock buttons on it. She went on the quote me the price of just the key without the buttons. I was so baffled by the first number that I don't remember specifics of the second quote for just the key but it was over $200 also. My car is a 2008, Toyota Camry...super basic. Please someone tell me how the dealership is charging $140 and Pop-A-Lock is charging over double. read more
