| - The dealership who I purchased my car from gave me a new keyless entry remote, but did not have the tool to sync it to the car without an original being present. They just advised me "not to let anyone charge me too much to get it working."
The official service centers were charging $120 just to sync the remote, which made me begin to realize what I had been warned against. Calling around to several of the traveling locksmith operations, they all came off on the phone as very shady telemarketers trying to rush me into the next step with as little info as possible. Apparently it would be $15 to have a technician drive out, $70 to sync the remote, and an unspecified fee depending on what type of sync the car required, which they refused to quote me (the last one I called couldn't tell me the fee but did go ahead and gave my phone number to their technician without my permission). No thanks.
I finally stumbled upon Acme, who was a world apart from the others, almost seeming too good to be true. They had a physical location I could visit in my own time without being charged, and were $10 less expensive than the other places for the service I requested, and there would be no mysterious fee at the end. The work was done in under 5 minutes, and they were also able to grind me a spare key and sync it to the car for a very reasonable price in an equally short amount of time. Will definitely be back for any other lock related needs.
