I was here to get an FOB & keys for my 2006 RX8. The shop has advanced laser-pattern tracer for physical keys, but even with the technology the key was difficult to shape. I was here for a couple of hours, but despite their expertise the FOB & keys could not be programmed. Being an airline mechanic myself, it was understandable (no single tech knows everything nor can they fix everything).
They didn’t charge me a penny. They’re also popular & trusted so that many customers came by while I was there. I really appreciated their honesty and trying their best to help me out.
Next day, I went to Sentry West Mazda. Even they had difficulty programming the FOB & keys, and they couldn’t program the FOB either. Mazda has over-engineered these systems to the point where even a dealer couldn’t get it done.
So, Locks & Keys Inc is a great business but if you need an FOB or keys programmed for Mazda, you may want to go straight to your nearest Mazda dealer.
