In their words

A few of the 31, exactly as written

These are quoted word-for-word from my Google profile — grouped by the situation the customer was in, so you can find the one that looks like yours.

When every key was gone

“My husband lost our keys and we called Raxo and he was very prompt, friendly and professional. Leo was there within the hour and we were very satisfied with the service received. Highly recommend.”

— Tara Letandre · Google review

“A buddy of mine lost every key to his Ford F-150 downtown Winnipeg and was stranded. I'd used Leo at RAXO before, so I sent him his way and he came right to the truck, cut and programmed a new key from scratch, and had him back on the road the same afternoon. Hands down the guy to call for car key programming in Winnipeg.”

Cheaper than the dealer

“Leo was able to give me same day service for a 2022 Honda CRV. He was fast, explained the whole process and service and was very friendly. His price was 400$ less than the dealer quote. I would definitely recommend him.”

— Raj S · Google review

“Leo is amazing! Super fast service called and was here and done. Kind and very informative. Price was half then dealership. Had new key and fob done.”

— Lisa Stephens · Google review

“He provided me with 2 key fobs for several hundred dollar less than the dealership with a one year warranty. Plus he came to my house eliminating being without my vehicle for a part or the whole of a day. I am very impressed with the service and the price plus I have a spare key fob should one of get lost or stop functioning. Would definitely recommend him.”

Key fobs

“So grateful for Leo. My only lock on my car was broken, I called Raxo to see if they could fix my fob and within 40 mins it was all fixed, not only that but he noticed my tire was flat and put air in it for me. Very good service!”

— Sue Oleksiew · Google review · Local Guide

Locked out

“I was so thankful that Leo was able to save my evening. I am travelling from Ontario to Calgary and my keys got locked…”

— Kaitlyn Pleinis · Google review

Spare keys and copies

“I was very impressed. He was on time and set up both key fobs and cut both keys for my car and it only took about an hour. He really knows his stuff and I really appreciated it.”

— Glenn Buckboro · Google review

“Great service! He quickly made a copy of my car key, and it works perfectly. Friendly, professional, and fair price. Highly recommend!”

— Oleh Vashchenko · Google review

“Came out of town within a very short period of time. Up front and clear on the cost prior to booking. Able to fix the problem quickly and very professionally. Absolutely will use this company in the future.”

— Carol Parkinson · Google review

The experience

“Leo was great, explained my key system to me and had great advice. Definitely a great service, fast and fair price. Recommend.”

— Michael Shaugobay-Hirsch · Google review

“Leo is very knowledgeable and he will guide you in the right direction. Very helpful, on time when you really need it and loves his work.”

— Ajay Sahil · Google review

“Precise, polite and punctual.”

— Dominic Ibeme · Google review

“OMG this company is a breath of fresh air. Leo is professional and very knowledgeable. He hit a glitch replacing a fob and keys for our vehicle … not his fault. An hour job took 4.5 hours. He wouldn’t charge for the extra labor and it was our fault for not being succinct about what we needed. You don’t come across his work ethic much these days. And just a good human. Our family highly recommends this company.”

The pattern

What keeps coming up

Read enough of the 31 and the same handful of things repeat. I'm not going to dress them up as statistics — this is just the honest pattern:

  • On time — showed up when I said I would, often the same day
  • The price matched the quote — the number in the text is the number paid
  • Knows his stuff — explains the key system instead of hiding behind it
  • It works — keys cut and programmed at the car, tested before payment

31 isn't hundreds. It's early — and it's real. If I've done work for you, an honest review, good or bad, is the most useful thing you can leave me: it goes straight onto Google, not through me.
