Twice i have been sent the wrong part

Twice i have been sent the wrong part. So i will have to get on the phone once again and then mail the wrong part back.Customer service is nice enough but obviously either a glitch in your packing department or someone doesn't look at part numbers. I have tried to be nice but and if you send me another part I am betting it will be wrong again and this will have turned into about 4 weeks of mishap.

Hello Joe,

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you’ve experienced.

Receiving the wrong part not once but twice is incredibly frustrating, and we completely understand your disappointment. This is certainly not the level of accuracy we aim for, and we’re reviewing this internally to ensure the issue is corrected, whether it’s a packing error or a system glitch.

Our team is here to help make this right. If you’re still encountering any issues, please continue to coordinate with us, and we’ll prioritize your case to prevent any further delays.

Thank you for your patience, and again, we’re very sorry for the trouble this has caused.

Great product, Amazing Customer Service

If this review was only based on the program dongle, it would be 5 stars, however I wish I could give Tom's customer service 10 stars. They were so courteous and helpful that it actually surprised me. It has been quite awhile since I had such a good customer experience.

No return slip included to return the programmer. So I inquired and they emailed me one and said the post office just needs to scan it. This was good news as I do not have a printer. The USPO would will not scan a return slip unless it has a QR code. Why they sent me a return slip without a QR code is beyond me. Had to then go to the public library to print it, then back to the post office. Took 1.5 hours (I live in the city). I request a $20 refund. They offered a $10 refund but would not budge on increasing it to $20. They claimed they didn't know a QR code was needed. Well it is their business to know. I debugged the problem and informed them of their misunderstanding. They were defensive saying the post office changed their policy. Which is not the issue, it is their job to have the return experience as described when I purchased the product. Extremely disappointed. I have multiple keys to be done but will go elsewhere, and will advise family and friends to go elsewhere.

Look no where else...

If anyone is looking for an extra/ replacement car key, they shouldn't look elsewhere. I am extremely satisfied with the quality, precision and customer support service. The programming was straightforward and easy with the instructions provided.

Quick response

I had a question regarding a 2010 Corolla "dot" key and transponder chip (which my key doesn't have). I got a detailed answer back within moments.

The Key to my Experience

The key to my positive experience was the communication with those at Tom's Key Company.
They were always there. When I sent a message, they replied as if they knew me and my concern regarding the key to my car. I will always be grateful for being heard and helped by the personnel at Tom's Key Company. They were the key to my wanting to return if I need another key.

I bought a Toyota truck recently and it had only one key fob. I called the local dealer and they quoted me about $400 to provide a second key. So I called a local mobile automotive locksmith and was quoted over $500 for a single key fob. I found Tom's Key Company on the internet. I was able to have my key reproduced using a photograph of my existing key sent via email. The key required some programming too. Toms sent me the already laser cut key, the programming device and easy, very specific instructions on how to do the programming. I followed tbe instructions and it worked perfectly. I saved about 80% over dealer and locksmith quotes. Check out Tom's Key Company!

Beware of transponder key

After weeks of trying to get a key that will program and start my 2018 Tahoe , they continue to give me the run around as to why it will not work with my vehicle, they ask for videos, like I can’t figure out how to make it work , bottom line is they can’t provide the product they state will work, now they expect me to pay for their lack of knowledge, having to dispute my charge at this time , Very disappointing

Hello Dave,

We’re truly sorry for the frustration and back-and-forth you experienced.

Thank you for your feedback and—most importantly—for your patience throughout the lengthy troubleshooting process. We understand how disappointing it is when a DIY solution doesn’t go as smoothly as expected. While we do our best to provide accurate compatibility guidance, there are situations where programming becomes more complex and requires tools or support beyond what a DIY setup can offer.

Our goal has never been to cause additional stress or inconvenience. We followed the standard troubleshooting steps to try to get everything working for you, but unfortunately, we reached the point where no further remote options were available. We appreciate the time you invested in working through the steps with us.

We’re glad to hear the key ultimately worked, and if you’re willing to share what resolved it on your end, we would sincerely appreciate the insight. It helps us improve and allows us to better support future customers who may face a similar scenario.

If you still need help or would like us to review anything further, we’re here. Please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Top Notch Customer Service

Ran into an issue with my key and customer support was quick to resolve the issue. They emailed actual helpful responses instead of canned emails that don't address your concern. Its obvious they have real people responding to inquiries and I'm very thankful.

Key Fob is Great!

The key fob was correct for my vehicle, 2007 Tundra SR5. Tom's answered my questions and were very helpful. I elected to have Pop-A-Lock do the fob programming. Works like a champ!

I was trying to use a promo code and for whatever reason, it did not work. I called customer service and they were able to place my order. I received my “vintage” physical key fob (old tech seems to be better in avoiding the growing high-tech thefts of vehicles with keyless systems), had it cut for $10, followed the instructions and inserted the key programmer into my OBD-II slot, and 10 minutes later removed the key and it worked! I was able to remove the MyKey settings that I had actually put on both my other keys (where all the buttons stopped working, even with fresh batteries). Thanks for saving me a few hundred dollars!

An Excellent Experience!!!

Everything from the time I ordered the product through the process of programming my key was handled perfectly. I received constant updates on the status and shipment. I had a bit of trouble with the initial confirmation process and emailed the company. Within two minutes I received a response with troubleshooting options. I proceeded with the process and it worked great! Very happy with this experience and it saved me a lot of money. I would highly recommend their services/product.

Read very carefully they may not be what they say

I went to Tom's keys becuase of what they advertised say how I could save money and time using them I the price was much lower the the dealer ship that was until I got the product I had the key cut and I was looking for the programmer however it did not come with one. I miss the small note that said they did not programmer my car key I just got a key cut and not program. So now I have to go find someone to program it. Which cost as much as the key. They did not send me a list of preferred people that could do it and when I call all I got was a bot then went to chat and got a hold of someone that was nice but all they did and give me a few people to try and call to get them programmed. So not very easy or cheap. Check to make sure that they have a programmer if not you will need to find someone to program it that will not rip you off.

Hello Kevin,

We’re truly sorry for the confusion and frustration you experienced. It’s never our intention to mislead anyone; we always aim to be as transparent as possible with our product listings. In this case, the listing included a clear note indicating that it’s a Non-DIY Smart Flip Key, meaning a programmer isn’t included. While many of our products come as DIY bundles, some vehicle models like yours don’t have a compatible programming device, so these keys are sold separately.

We understand this caused an inconvenience, and we appreciate your feedback. To make things easier, we’ve partnered with a local locksmith finder. If you’re having trouble locating a trusted locksmith to program your key, we’ve got a direct line to help. Just call 877-640-4332, and our partner will connect you with a reliable local locksmith. It’s simple, stress-free, and convenient.

We will review how we present this information to make it clearer in the future. Thank you.
