Verified Customer Review
"Kramer is such a wonderful, caring, knowledgeable man! Always willing to help you with anything, especially sharpening and key problems! He has the equipment to do even the fancy, new car, chipped keys. His prices are very reasonable, and his work is fantastic! He adopted 'Miss Kitty' who used to live at Ace Hardware. She now usually supervises all activities from her throne chair."
