A Local Locksmith 24/7

Run the other way.... Stumbled across this place from a web search. I learned a very valuable (not to mention costly) lesson. DO YOUR RESEARCH! I called them for an estimate on getting a lock re-keyed, was told something very reasonable-sounding over the phone, but when they came to my home, they said they needed a key or it would cost $170 to pick the lock. I just moved in and didn't have one and they never mentioned it before. Then they said it was a premium lock (that retails "upwards of $400" which is a blatant lie) and would cost $65-$75 to re-key, the story kept changing. I felt like I was getting ripped off so I looked elsewhere and miraculously found a reputable shop that charged a mere $15 for my so-called "premium" lock. And a key was NOT needed.

And, oh by the way, I owed these guys both a service fee AND cancelation fee. For absolutely nothing. The biggest red flag was when they told us they don't accept checks. What a bunch of sheisters.…

Legit business...?. Needed an ignition lock replaced on my car. Quoted $150 on the phone. Total cost was $300 because the lock needed drilling and replacement. Guy was nice but didn't speak English very well, which made it hard to understand the charges and what exactly he was doing.

While drilling out the lock he damaged the key transponder receiver. The guy apparently went to the junk yard and got a replacement. After finishing there was a dremel head and large amounts of shavings and metal chunks on the floor.

Car starts now, and the cost sounds a little higher than average for this.…
