    Has anyone gotten a key from Tom's Key Company? I've got one fob that eats batteries and flaky buttons on another.

    They claim to send keys and rent you a programmer.

    Looking for some references.

    Don't know about Tom's but the eating battery fob may be cheap knockoff batteries that discharge in a few months. Flaky buttons might respond to a new case or a little Deoxit contact cleaner.

    Thanks. I haven't taken contact cleaner to my current flaky one. The battery one is the darnedest thing. Even fresh name brand batteries die in a few days.

    Best local deal I've found is around $600 for two fobs but Tom's would be under $300 with aftermarket fobs. $425 with OEM.
