I'm joining the landslide of appreciation and respect for Gabriel.
After my first transaction with him I was completely sold. Now he is the go to guy for anything VW that has a key slide into it.
He has cut keys for me from only the code, sent them overnight and they fit perfectly. He's re keyed my door locks, my glove box, my hood latch to match my original ignition and that same Huff key works smoothly in them all. When that ancient ignition switch in my 1960 Karmann Ghia convertible failed recently, Gabriel found one, rebuilt it, rekeyed it to fit all those other locks he had built previously and included a spare key for good measure. And, of course he guarantees his work.
This kind of expertise and reliability matched with having the wide access to these often old esoteric parts is rare and a deal at any price. But Gabriel has proven himself not only a gentleman, a craftsman and an expert, but a fair and generous individual. I can not recommend or thank him enough. |

Go to Gabriel Garcia for ALL matters regarding VW keys and locks. I had a lock dilemma that NO locksmith could handle. But Gabriel solved the problem quickly and economically. So don't hesitate to engage this trustworthy, skilled craftsman for any problem or need regarding VW keys and locks. |

Hahaha I bought 6 keys for my bug from Gabriel years ago. I have one on my keychain and my mechanic has one on his key rack and I have 4 in the drawer. Gabriel is the man. _________________ 63SunNotch...."Don't qoute me on it but I am pretty good when it comes to tits.

I needed key blanks for a '79 Westy. This was a great source and I get them at a price I liked and in a nice time.
I have never had a need for key code key, but I will keep it in mind.
Thanks for the service! |

Gabriel recently bought a full set of the multi-colors of Volkswagen Wolfsburg factory Tour I.D. badges that I sell, and while in and out of town, I had to delay mailing them. Gabriel paid fast, was super patient, and as always he was a delight to serve. I have also had Gabriel and his family make keys and do lock work for me before. Here is one of a pair of NOS lockable door handles he provided in a cool trade we did for use on my restoration of my 1959 Double-Cab. He provided a NOS ignition switch and re-keyed everything to the ignition switch key code. The guy is a "Master"!
He also set me up with the keys for the cargo door lock too!
He is a top notch seller, craftsman and enthusiast and a valuable asset to our VW hobby community! Thanks again Gabriel!

Fast & easy transaction with Gabe! I needed original VW keys for my 1968 Type 34 and he had a pair that he cut to my door lock codes. Had them within a week. The keys are beautiful & exactly what I wanted. I couldn't be happier. We're so lucky to have a key/lock specialist like Gabe! |

It's always a pleasure dealing with Gabe. This time, he came up with hard-to-find VW logo blanks for popular reproduction VW ignition switches. I buy from him whenever I can. Great communication, quick shipping. Super seller! |

I had Gabriel re-key a door lock cylinder for my '66 Bug, Frank. Plus had an extra
VW cut logo key made. Both to match my existing ignition switch.
The service was fast and affordable. Back in my hands well before spring thaw!
What an artist! Will be using his services again soon.
Thanks so much Gabriel! |

This is the third time Gabriel has helped me with a car, this time a newly acquired Super Beetle. 2 door handle lock cylinders, an engine lid lock cylinder, and 1 duplicate key, all keyed to my original ignition switch and key. The best part was the same day service. While he was setting up his new shop and getting ready for a show, he still found time to help me out. I will continue to use and promote Gabriel's locksmith service. Thanks a bunch. Nick. _________________ 1966 Bug

Highly recommend Gabriel. He just cut some new keys my camper. 2 R keys and 1 VB. After getting them back home I tested them out and worked perfect. Great service and good customer service!
