Are you being over charged?

Are you being over charged for locksmith services? Here are some of the “tricks” of the trade.
- Charging for Fuel, Mileage, and Vehicle Wear, plus the trip charge… instead of including them in the trip charge.
- Charging a minimum hourly rate on top of the charges for the actual work being performed.
- Charging for tumblers, springs, removing & remounting the lock: these are usually included in a standard re-keying charge.
- Extremely high unlocking fees to open your door, on top of the service trip charge.
Don’t be fooled! An honest locksmith will always let you know about “unexpected charges” BEFORE they begin the work!
