Been striking out with Gabriel for some reason. No responses to voicemail / text / email / Samba messages. Not sure what's going on, but I'd like to get a duplicate key cut for my steering lock (now that's it's installed) before something stupid happens (my luck's been running on the bad side lately) and I have to cut the thing off...
Are there other good sources on here (or elsewhere) that I can pursue? I'll be up at the Cascade Kombis show next weekend it there's going ot be someone there who can help out.
Thanks!
Here's some crappy pics of the existing key for reference..

I haven't had any dealings with him, but I've seen his ads over the years:

He might be able to help or guide you in the right direction.

Gabe also just had a major health event so give him the benefit of the doubt. He's just getting back on his feet health wise.

Dang. That would 100% explain it. I figured something was going on... wish it was just him blacklisting me instead of this.. |

That worked brilliantly. Picked up two blanks and had one successfully cut today. Thanks!
Now to send a few more good vibes Gabe’s way... anyone have any updates? |
