tried talking to management and it was no go, called geico roadside and she gave me an option of a tow or locksmith to extract and make a key so i opted for that. she called them and said itd be 205 if it needs extracting and a key made, geico will pay 100 of it.
I agreed since i figured a tow may cost me $40 and id have to buy a key from the dealer using vin and possibly buy an ignition cylinder and get it matched which may all be more than 105. he came and spent a while with lock picks, then used a grinder and removed the ignition, drilled it all out, finally got the piece almost 2 hours later and told me my ignition is ****ed and ill need a new one. so he removed some tumblers so my 3/4 key would work and said i can buy a new ignition and pay him to match it to a new key in the mean time.
Then he slapped me with a $289 bill, so 389 without insurance. so he didnt do what i was quoted for, my ignition is ruined and probably unsafe, my turn signal is now broken off, and i still dont have a new key. didnt even get an invoice and he wouldnt tell me where the price was from, handed him 260 as it was all i had. im calling geico to complain ughh
