Have been using Justin for years for extra keys on vanagons I restore. Keys always work well and the order and delivery process is easy and fast. |

Asked Justin to re-key my1967 mismatched door handles and an ignition that I thought was a 1967 k-code. We spoke several time son the phone (great communicator) as he was prompt and very clear. It turned out I sent him a generic ignition and he was unable to re-key to match the handles so I suggested just returning. I was very surprised when I received his package which included an original K-code ignition and my generic as well with no added cost. Recommend Justin in every way!!!! |

Sent Justin an NOS oval ignition switch, an NOS door handle and a used t-handle for my Beetle. Justin keyed everything alike.
Also sent a rare Barndoor t-handle that was in the locked position with the chrome escutcheon still in place. He picked the lock and cut me 2 matching keys.
I also have him some key codes for some other handles I have in my collection and he cut matching keys for those as well.
Great work, great service and fast turnover.
I definitely recommend him.

I lost my key and really didn’t like the idea of getting an aftermarket ignition. searching around for a used ignition I came across this add. Justin had my key cut and sent to me and I couldn’t be happier |

I sent Justin my door handles, ignition key, and ignition key code. He re-keyed the handles to match the ignition key, and used the key code to punch me two new keys on m blanks with the classic VW logo. Now one key does everything, and it's a beatiful new key to boot! |

Sent him my locking rear lid and mismatched front door handles to be keyed the same for my Thing. Very fast turn around. Thanks again. |

Awesome! I would highly recommend Justin!! His communication was great. The package was done right and the keys fit in and worked like new. If you need a VW key you have to track down Justin. |

I ordered two keys by code and Justin made sure I knew how to get the correct code, then he sent me a nice note when he shipped them, they arrived today, I think in very good time and Lo ! they fit my original old screw terminal ignition switch, I can easily re key the T handle to match but I'd never done the '56 ~'59 door handles, I have a spare in case I ruin it taking it apart .
Is there perhaps a thread on taking these old handles apart ? .

Ordered an ignition switch for my 76 bug to match the original door handles. Key works perfectly in the original locks and got the ignition swapped out. 100% recommend!! |

Great communication, easy to work with! Justin took care of my '67 door handle key and locking convertible hood release key, using VW cutout-emblem "K" and "SG" blanks that I gave him the codes for.
The keys worked out perfectly, and for a much more reasonable price than the "other" guy (who was out of stock on "K" VW emblem blanks anyway). Note: Justin does NOT accept PayPal, so work with him on best agreed upon payment method. _________________ 1967 VW Convertible, owned 35 years.

Justin cut keys by code for a 62 Vert I bought without keys. Couple days later I have the keys and work perfect. I will use him next time I have a lock need. _________________ 74’ Ghia

Justin was easy to get a hold of and he cut me a perfect key for my bus using the code on the ignition lock. Thanks! My bus didn't come with a key. The new one fit every single lock on my 68 bus. |

I bought a couple of VWs without keys. I pulled a door handle from each and sent Justin the key code stamped on each door handle. He responded quickly and had my new keys in the mail the next day. The keys fit perfect. I would highly recommend his services if you need keys. _________________ Missouri Micros |

Just sent the sticky ignition from my 73 beetle to Justin and he did a fantastic job. He communicated well, really quick turnaround even though it was right around the holidays and my key turns like new! Amazing what 52 years of gunk, or absence of I suppose, will do for an ignition. Highly recommend, thanks Justin. _________________ 71 Westfalia

I sent Justin a bags of parts that used to be the passenger side outside front handle. My parts were not usable. He provided a replacement handle keyed to my original. The service was very quick and the handle works great.
And another note:
There is another gentleman that provides similar lock and key services and he lives less than 15 miles from me. I really wanted to buy local but could not do so. I sent multiple messages to him and only received one inadequate response.
I sent my handle 3000 miles away and it was fixed quickly. A great example of customer service. _________________ Larry in OB
