Do not use KeyMe unless absolutely necessary.
To cut to the chase I would absolutely recommend going somewhere else for an automotive key replacement. Based on my experience, I would not use this service again. I contacted KeyMe through their kiosk at Smith’s because I was having issues with the key fob for my 2011 VW Jetta. The buttons weren’t working and the car was having trouble detecting the key, so I assumed the key itself was the problem. A locksmith was sent out and quoted me $420 for an aftermarket replacement key. He made and programmed the new key, but afterward determined that there was also an issue with the car itself. I ended up paying $400, and the new key did not resolve the problem I originally called about. My biggest issue is that I wish the possibility of a vehicle-side problem had been diagnosed or clearly explained before making a $420 replacement key. Had I known beforehand that a new key might not solve the issue, I would not have agreed to spend that much without having the car checked first. I contacted the locksmith and KeyMe afterward to try to resolve the situation. After quite a bit of back and forth, I ultimately accepted an $80 refund and signed a release to settle the matter. I appreciate that I received something back, but I’m still extremely disappointed with the overall experience. I ended up paying $320 for an aftermarket key while still having the exact issue that led me to contact them in the first place. I strongly recommend getting quotes from other local locksmiths and having the actual problem properly diagnosed before using this service.
