I lost the primary key fob for my Toyota Tundra, and the dealership wanted over $600 to replace and program it. Luckily, I was referred to William at Ikos, who has the capability to reprogram the more modern, complicated Tundra key fobs. Though he offered a great price on a new key, I was able to bring in an older Tundra key and he reprogrammed it for a very fair price. He helped me as soon as I arrived and made sure everything worked and was good to go. Its hard to find good people like William, so I wanted to sing his praises. Well definitely be using Ikos again. Thank you, William!

William is all class! My son and friends got stranded an hour north of town after losing the car keys down in the gorge by the river. After receiving the car from a tow company he put a priority on getting a new key programmed and ensuring our down time was minimal. He even had the right key in stock!
God led us to the right/best guy in Taos; I won't hesitate to go there again if ever back in Taos with car trouble!

Bill (the owner and operator) showed us EXCEPTIONAL service. Wonderful human being who was very empathetic to our situation of being stuck as visitors in Taos with a broken down truck. He had extensive knowledge about our Toyota Tundra just off the top of his head. Plus, he explained every price point of his quote and I never felt like we were getting ripped off. Another local Taos person told us he founded his business in order to provide women an honest option for car service where they could feel secure and not get ripped off, and that certainly felt like the case. His shop was a lifesaver for us and is without a doubt deserving of your business!

My oil filter was leaking oil all over my RV engine and pouring out. I was 100's of miles from home so I did a goggle search and they sent me to Iko's and thank goodness they did! William came out and took a quick look and was very calming and helped me not loose my mind! It ended up being a quick fix and he sent me off with direction to pick up more oil and what to do and check to make it home. I felt like a long time client and could not have been taken care of or treated better. Thank you William and Iko's!!!
