I am 56 years old and I have never in my life been treated like this by a business.
I called Skeleton Key Company on the night of July 6th. I had lost my old key fab to my 2021 Ford Bronco Sport Big Ben model. The gentleman stated that he could help, but would need to order a key fab and that we could pay for his services on line.
On Monday, (July 8th) After towing the car 25 miles back to my home as I thought it would make things easier, I called and ordered the fab. I paid for the fab via the company link. In addition, I paid for the programming of the vehicle and a service call in the amount of $316. I was told the fab would be here on Tuesday.
Tuesday at 6pm, I texted with this response: "we got too busy for you today but we will be out in the morning." I instantly saw red flags so I knew I needed to keep this professional and simple.
Wednesday 11am- I texted again. with response "The fab did not come in." "I will be out as soon as it comes in today."
Wednesday 6pm- Owner shows up. Stays about 10 minutes, and starts to drive away. I went out to ask if he was coming back as my car doors were open, my hood was up, and my hazard lights were flashing. He stated he was coming back. He did come back, stayed for about 10 minutes and then drove away again. He texted that he had a flat tire but would be back tomorrow. I noticed the fab was not the right kind.
Thursday 6pm- Owner shows up. Stays about 15 minutes and then.......NEVER TO BE HEARD from again.
Yup, the owner fleeced me for the money, and then would not respond. He took off like this is just OK. I do not believe this company has been in business for 30 years.
I was never rude or out of line with any text messages. There is no reason for this. There is no reason to tell people that you can provide a service, get their money and never return.
I cannot believe this man is in business. This has been a straight scene out of the movie Ozark and the owner lives in a highway town just looking to perch on people and take their money. He may be able to make a key but he cannot program a car. I just hope I don't have more issues as this company clearly does not know what they are doing, they lack the technology and software to program a car and the lack of professionalism is beyond belief.
I have read his reviews, and he always comes back on the attack but these are the cold hard facts people stay away or I assure you it is going to cost you money and give you one big headache. read more
