Because our locksmiths have been opening cars for years, we are able to give an accurate quote over the phone. We do not have to see the car first. We only need to know the make/model/year of your car to give a quote. If a "locksmith" has to see your car first, this is a RED FLAG they are going to scam you. Our vehicle and residential lock-outs run around $55-$75 depending on the distance and time of day as well as how quickly you need us. For example, f you can wait 2 hours for us to schedule 2 calls in the same area we will offer you a discount. All Residential and Commercial Service calls vary depending on distance and time. Please feel free to call for a quote. Beware Of The Really Low-priced Locksmith
Some shady locksmiths offer customers very low prices for home or business lockouts. You might wonder how this person is making a profit with the cost of gas, insurance, locksmith licensing, etc. The truth is, they aren't making a profit! What they could be doing is using the low price to gain access to your home or business in order to make a copy of your key for themselves in order to come back to your home or business later to make their profit. The frightening fact is some have burglarized homes and businesses weeks or even months later with the extra key they made. We have actually met several locksmiths with substance abuse problems
who have been arrested for this very reason. Customers need to make sure the locksmith they are hiring is licensed with the state or has a reputable name in the community. You are trusting your home and business to this person so do your due diligence
to protect yourself. Remember the old cliche', "You get what you pay for". Sometimes the cheapest can end up costing you the most!
Beware Of 800, 866, 888 And 877 Phone Prefixes
Some locksmith broker companies are the main cause of the LOCKSMITH SCAM problem. These companies are based out of New York, Florida,and Atlanta areas. If a locksmith company uses one of these phone prefixes, it is typically a locksmith broker company that charges much higher rates than your local locksmith. . These broker companies monopolize the internet with websites and advertising and pass that expense on to their customers. Most legitimate locksmiths do not have the time to learn html coding, build websites, run adword campaigns,
etc. They are too busy taking care of customers. Therefore, these broker companies monopolize the internet with advertising
techniques and then sell the service calls back to unlicensed, unscrupulous locksmiths at ridiculous rates. These locksmiths
have often been recruited by the advertising companies to do contract, "so-called locksmith" work.
The internet is flooded with scam companies and brokers.
The consumer ends up paying for the over-priced advertising AND the crooked locksmith.
The result is you get your car unlocked for $150.00..... $250 at night in Cleveland!!!! Who can afford that??? Not many! Beware Of 411 Directories
Another scam tactic that the locksmith brokers and scam companies use is to saturate the 411 directories
with fraudulent company names and numbers. You can call the operator 50 times and get 50 different company names
and numbers from the phone book/directory and it will still ring back to the scam companies phone. The best
way to protect yourself against this fraud is to find a few locksmiths you can trust and program their
numbers into your phone in case of an emergency or write their names and numbers down and keep in your purse or wallet.
