Casper Lock & Alarm

I got a spare uncut key from my dealer. I went to casper's and expected to have no problems. Before he starts he says that its 50 bucks upfront and that it might not work...I trusted that he would be able to do it so I paid. He went out and tried it and it wouldnt program. He gave excuses like it could be because of my car battery being too weak or that my stereo wasnt the original one from the car. He then went and put my original key in a machine and then put the dealer key in, he expected it to have a different reading, IT DIDNT, they matched exactly. He then tried a different computer and that one didnt work with making the copy either. Now, out 50 bucks he says he has other honda keys and that he would use one of those and make a new one for me for 80 more (needing a spare I agreed). Miraculously it worked (who would have thunk it, when hes able to charge extra it works and hes able to complete the job). I would go elsewhere for a key. I feel like he ripped me off just to sell me one of his. To make matters worse I saw a card on his counter from the same key supplier my dealer used...So I feel like everything he was saying about it being the wrong key is bull (especially after his own machine said the two matched)!.
