I only use Steve Sandlin for my VW keys. He one time in a pinch was able to cut a key for me from a picture. I was far away from home 
a someone stole my man purse as my wife calls is with my keys.
My wife emailed him a picture of a spare at home. He shipped a couple 
keys over night to me to the hotel I was staying at. They worked perfectly and this was all without having to send him a dime upfront.

Even with cost of shipping factored in, his fees are still cheaper than my local locksmiths. I have also had him rekey locks, key alike, and generate code FROM the lock.
