You shouldn't trust strangers on the internet, and you shouldn't trust a company just because it has a nice-looking website. Here are the fact-based, independently-verifiable reasons you can trust KeySavvy.
Protecting buyers and sellers is our only business
Our mission is to “Reduce fraud, increase convenience, and foster trust between vehicle buyers and sellers”. We take it so seriously, it's in our Articles of Incorporation -- as a Public Benefit Corporation, we are legally required to promote our mission. Our only responsibility is to protect the integrity of the transaction as an independent third party.
We have amazing customer reviews
Our customers love us! Read our reviews on Google, YouTube, Better Business Bureau, online forums, marketplaces and Reddit.
We're a licensed dealership
KeySavvy is a licensed auto dealer, regulated by the Minnesota
Department of Public Safety. Our dealer license is #DLR100357. You
can look up our license on the Minnesota DMV website under Vehicle
Services -> More Vehicle Services -> View List of Dealers.
Being a licensed dealer means we are backed by a bond held by the
State of Minnesota. The bond protects our customers if we ever fail
to deliver a clear title to a buyer or send a payout to a seller. We
would never allow that to happen, but the bond held by the State of
Minnesota guarantees our customers are always protected.
We're Better Business Bureau accredited
KeySavvy is BBB accredited and verified. We're required to follow the BBB's customer service and satisfaction requirements, including responding promptly to customers and resolving all customer complaints through the BBB. You can view our BBB profile here.
