My wife was locked out of the house with our 4 year old and 1 year old. She had accidentally locked the bottom handle lock of the house and forgot her keys inside. She called what appeared to be a professional, 24 hour locksmith service to help her get inside. The repairman charged her $330 to drill into the bottom handle. My wife of course being somewhat trusting and unsuspecting was not sure if this was an acceptable rate or not and since she could not get ahold of me at the time on the phone and had two children roasting in the heat, agreed. Basically, the slimy b****** took advantage of her position, overcharged her, and took her money and ran. When I called the Locksmith, I got the runaround and was given a phone number for their "customer service department" (480-550-8874) which was basically a VM system. I left a message. I have not received a reply.
I am a senior citizen who just came from taking his wife to the emergency room in Phoenix, AZ, only to find that I had locked myself out of my car. Called a locksmith I found online, on my phone, that advertised fees starting at $14. That should have been my first clue of a scammer.
Local locksmiths at 602 663 9222 sent a guy who would not give me a clue as to what his fee would be. It was $268 when he got done, and did not take long to unlock. Later, when I had recovered from the shock of taking me wife to the hospital, I called a truly "local" locksmith who said the standard fee for this service is $80.
A manager named Tony would only tell me that I signed for the $268 fee, and now I wanted mercy? They have no physical address he would give me. Claimed he had no boss I could talk to.
The customer service department at 480 550 8874 does not answer the phone or return calls. When I asked to be transfered to customer service, I get Tony the manager again.
Bottom line, avoid this rip off artist. I only wanted them to pay the difference between what my insurance company gave me and the outrageous amount they billed me for. Got no cooperation at all.

Online, it said that it would only cost me $14 for a locksmith,
We called the number, they refuse to quote us a price, and said the technicion will give us a price.
The technition called back and quoted us $75.00 to program new (Smart Key) for my car.
The guy showed up , asked me a couple questions, and said to program this key it would be $212.00. I said no way, so he demande $55.00 wow what a rip off.
then if you try to call thier office; they are very rude and do not care;
BEWARE WHEN YOU CALL,WE NEEDED A LOCKSMITH, WHEN LOOKING ON GOOGLE WE FOUND LOCALOCKSMITHS.COM THERE AD STATES A $14 SERVICE CALL, WHEN I ASKED THE PERSON ON THE PHONE THEY ALSO SAID $14 SERVICE CALL BUT WHEN THE TECH GOT THERE THE SERVICE CALL WAS RAISED TO $55 I WAS NOT HAPPY WITH THAT AND TALKED TO THE TECH AND HE SAID WE WERE ON A RUSH WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT WAS NEVER TOLD TO US, WE ALSO TALKED TO HIS BOSS AND SHE SAID THEY WERE NOT GOING TO CHANGE THE PRICE. THIS IS CLEARLY A SIGN OF BAD BUSINESS SO MAKE SURE YOU ARE VERY CLEAR ON PRICING WITH THEM BEFORE HAVING THEM DO SERVICE FOR YOU.
This is our second time dealing with this company. They used same tactics both times. They call and offer a gift card and a great deal for an office supply you are already are buying.
"The deal" arrives and they have instead of sending 1 box they send a case or 1/2 of the shipment. The first time we dealt with them we ordered a box of sharpies...we received a case of sharpies. We called and they gave us a "deal" if we keep their mistake. This latest 'Deal" was on shrink wrap. We got our first shipment without an invoice. We used the product. It was ok nothing to write home about....Then the invoice arrived. The shipping cost more than the product. I made a call about it and got a smart a*s answer about how heave the wrap is. Then 2 weeks later they sent us more. I called and they said they were just filling the other half of the order.
Did I mention the Gift card. Oh yes, I spoke to Kathy on July 29. She called to ask if I had gotten the card. I said no and she said she would send them right out. I got them on Aug 4. On Aug 5 we got yet another shipment of that stupid shrink wrap. Not ordered BTW. So this morning I called to get it removed from my office. Kathy said she was just an operator and could not approve a pick up. SOOOOO my now arch nemesis Alan Gold called me back. What a smart a*s. I asked to have the product picked up and he said that I had ordered it on July 29. I said no….he asked if I had gotten my starbucks gift cards. Like that was going to make this whole deal so much better. After being very condescending to me…I just hung up the phone.
I will be updating this when and if they pick up this crap
