In their words
A few of the 39, 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.”
“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.”
“Leo was a great communicator and the process described on his website is exactly how things played out. He was able to help me replace my lost Kia key and it was a very easy process. I will recommend him to anyone who needs a replacement key. Thank you Leo!”

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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Came to my house, was on time. All my fobs work great including my motorcycle key that everyone said could only be done by the dealer.”

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.”
“Great service! He quickly made a copy of my car key, and it works perfectly. Friendly, professional, and fair price. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Excellent service! He made two keys for my car, arrived right on time, and was professional from start to finish. He tested both keys to make sure everything worked perfectly and took the time to ensure I was completely happy before he left. Great communication, quality work, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing car keys made.”
“Leo is a stand-up guy, showed up when he said he would. Not only did he do a great job, he drove 90km to complete the service. He was friendly and extremely knowledgeable in his craft. Outstanding service.”

When it wasn’t straightforward
“Leo was amazing! Very friendly, very knowledgeable, responds quickly, and comes right to your vehicle. I hear Tacoma’s are tricky buggers and he worked his magic! He even fixed a part that the dealership made a mistake on! I never write Google reviews but this was necessary!”
“Leo with raxo locksmith is the best great guy hard worker had issues with another locksmith key going bad and Leo came over within the hour to make sure I was on the road again. Thanks a million will definitely use again and will recommend this to anyone who needs a locksmith.”

The experience
“Leo was great, explained my key system to me and had great advice. Definitely a great service, fast and fair price. Recommend.”
“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.”
“Precise, polite and punctual.”
“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.”
“Leo is truly fantastic, and I highly recommend him as a locksmith. Super knowledgeable and professional, also great to deal with. Absolutely exceptional customer service, Leo went above and beyond. If you need a locksmith, this is your guy!”
“One of my car keys had completely stopped working, but he quickly identified the issue and provided a perfectly working replacement. The new key works flawlessly, just like original. … What stood out the most was his honesty and clear communication — he took the time to explain everything and made sure I was fully satisfied with the result. If you’re in Winnipeg or Selkirk and need reliable help with car keys, I highly recommend him.”

The pattern
What keeps coming up
Read enough of the 39 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
39 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.
Want the same result?
Text me your year, make, model and where the car is — you'll get a written quote before I drive out, and you pay after the key works; the one exception is a $45 + tax service-call fee if a hidden fault blocks the job — or if the job is cancelled after I'm on the road, or no one's there when I arrive. Here's exactly how the process runs, and who you're texting.
