Keys
Baldino's Lock and Key

Reston, Va 20190

Attention Lexus owners. Calling two local Lexus dealers (Lindsay and Pohanka) I found out that to have a spare Lexus key made would cost a minimum of $300 and could go as high as $900 depending on whether you have an existing key and whether or not that key is a master key (The Unlock button on your key will unlock your locked car). Baldino's is located at the opposite end of the shopping center containing the Home Depot store in Reston.I took them a master key, a xeroxed copy of my car's title (which contained the Vin number of the vehicle) and showed my driver's license. The total cost of this new key was $111.64. It took the fellow about 15 minutes to cut and program the new key. I suggest you call Baldino's to see if they're open, see if they can make your key, and see what you need to bring with you to get the key made. I'm assuming that similar savings would be available to anyone owning a car where the dealer charges an outrageous price for a car key.

We have used Murray's for firewood for years. The wood is seasoned and is superior
to the small bundles you might find at grocery stores. When Murray and his son have
delivered our wood they roll it in on a dolly through our condo and stack it on the
lakeside deck.

If the price quoted at South Lakes Sunoco or some other local garage seems high for the job you might check with Undisputed Auto Care. Their location is less than 20 minutes from Harbor Point. Their prices might be less even considering the tolls and drive from Reston to and from their business. We've used them many times.

Reviewer comments: "He is an excellent painter (with meticulous clean-up afterward), and he is also multi-talented in carpentry and other general tasks.
Among his other abilities, he does installation of crown molding, drywall, power washing and staining of decks, light electric work (removal of old fixtures and installation of new ones), installing new cabinets in kitchens and bathrooms and a bunch of other carpentry tasks. He has about 20 years of experience, is very nice and friendly, and is someone I think everyone can have total confidence in.
