I had an amazing experience with Gabriel Garcia. I recently bought a 1973 VW Bus, and unfortunately the previous owner had lost the key. All I had was the key code, and Gabriel was able to make me a new key from that alone.
The key he made works perfectly, just like the original, and it even has the key code printed on it, which is a huge plus. Thanks to him, I didn’t have to change all the locks or replace the ignition switch—he literally made my life so much easier.If you’ve lost your key, text Gabriel. He’s a true professional and a big solution to a stressful problem. Highly recommended! 5 Stars

Had a hard time finding SV code keys. Of course Gabe came through. Good communication and nicely shipped. If you need key work he’s the man.

I've had nothing but good experiences with Gabriel. We met about 20 yrs ago in Stockton. He even answers while on vacation.

I have bought many parts from Gabriel. He replies every single time I send him a question... even at 2 AM his time ... and he always sorts out my problems promptly! (I m in Bangkok, Thailand, so there is a 12-hour time difference.)

HE ABSOLUTELY ROCKS!

purchased two key blanks and two door lock levers for my ‘67 Bus. the lock levers are not sold anywhere so I was glad that Gabriel had them available. smooth transaction, good communication, and fast shipping. I also appreciated the Octo flyer that was included. will definitely be a repeat customer. thanks again!

I've been a customer of Gabriel's products/services for many years now. It's been awhile since my last transaction with him but it was nice to re-connect and complete another purchase. Same great service as in the past and I'll continue to rely on Gabriel's vast knowledge and expertise in the field of vintage Volkswagen locks, keys and other items. Keep up the great work Gabriel and thanks again!

Bought an entire set of handles for a bay bus all keyed alike.
Excellent. Could not be happier.
This is my 3rd time using Gabriel. Always top notch.

I just finished a transaction with Gabriel. Very friendly, great service, and a good deal. Communication was a bit slow, but he is a busy guy, and I wasn't in a huge hurry. I would do business with him again.

I went with another VW lock-and-key vendor on the east coast (3,000 miles away) and got prompt and quality service.


Sorry your experience with me wasn't a good one, after my stroke, nothing has been the same, I been doing this for over 30 years and I'm lucky I could still do it, although at a much slower pace, plus I get busy attending VW shows and that takes a lot of my energy!
I'm glad you found Justin, he is a great guy, he and I are friends and go way back, you got it done and I'm happy about that, I welcome your negative feedback, it just shows that I'm human, and that I have limitations.

Gabriel.
