I know this is not the first email for this guy...but had to write it. Sent him code to make me two vw cut out keys.... then sent him my 67 door handle to get redone to work with another key. Sent me two keys for one code, two keys for another and a different 67 door handle door handle...why...he did not like the way my original one worked, brass fittings were to worn...what does he do, replaces it with a better 67 door handle than the one I sent....

AWESOME service, great emails, fast shipping....

why wast your time finding a local guy to cut your keys...you will get better service by sending them to Texas.

Thanks Gabriel.

I emailed him twice and tried getting him by telephone and never received a reply.

I found a local locksmith to make my keys and was done with it...

I have used Gabriel several times before and just had another great experience with his quick service. I emailed him on a Monday some keys I needed cut by code, and received them today, 1 week later. Of course they all work perfectly. Thanks Gabriel!

When I did that "Unlock Your Problems" story about Gabe's in VW Trends, he was still in Stockton, CA. While I was there doing the story, on a friday afternoon, my friend Russ calls me- seems that he had lost the one and only key to the '59 'vert he owned. I basically handed the cell phone to Gabriel, and said "here, talk to this guy- he lost his key, and has a show to go to on Sunday".
Gabriel got him to take the door handle off, look at the code, and tell him what it was (Thank God the door handle, ignition, decklid, and hood lock were still all the same) and whaddya know? made a key and OVERNIGHTED IT to the guy, so he didn't have to hot wire the '59 to get it to the show Sunday.

More kudos to Gabriel for doing such great work. I sent him two door lock cylinders to be rekeyed to the ignition key code and to make me an extra, VW logo key. He found one of the cylinders was already keyed correctly. He made the new key, rekeyed the other cylinder and cleaned and lubed both. It was two weeks max from the time I sent them untill the time I received them back. Good prices and great service.
Thanks Gabriel, David

I can also testify to Gabriel's great service. I needed door keys for my 1966 EZ Camper so I sent him the lock # and I was able to lock & unlock my doors the next week! Thanks!

Thanks Gabriel for sorting out my Key and T handle problems!
I now have a great T handle and only need one for all my doors, ignition, and decklid. Appreciate your patience!
