Does this make sense to you???

Your late for a very important meeting and you are just getting ready to pull out of your drive and then you remember you left the report on your table. You quickly run in the house to get the report and go to get in your car and you just realized that you locked your keys in your car. Oh No!!!! what are you going to do now.

We you are at home so you look up Locksmith in Google and you see there are Lot's of different locksmiths companies in listed. You even see 6 of them that have over 75 fantastic reviews. This won't be so bad you think.

You call the first one and they tell you it's just $29.95 plus a small fee to open the vehicle, but they can't tell you until the locksmith gets there. They can say it will be $15 and up.

Your not going to fall for that so you decide to call another Locksmith with over 100 great reviews. They say that it will be under $100, but can't say more than that.

You continue calling the other great reviewed locksmiths only to find you get similar quotes. At this point you figure that is just the way it is and besides you are already late and need to get this done.

The locksmith shows up 1 hour later even though they said 15 minutes and then they tell you that your ford escort is a special car and it will cost you $125.

What happened???

1. All of the companies you called are the same owner and they have made sure that if you need a locksmith you can only find them. Sure the names are different, but that is what they want you to think.

But what about all of those great reviews??? What a joke. If you look real close at the reviews you will see that most of them were put on within a few days of each other and some don't even talk about locksmith services. They were planted on there by the scammeres because they know people in a hurry won't read the reviews close enough to know they are not real.

How can you avoid this??

1. Have the name and number of a reputable locksmith/ Locksmiths in your phone before you need them.

2. Check out the locksmith on BBB. If they are not on there then stay away.

3. Look for reviews from reputable sources like Angie's list and or service magic

4. Insist on a flat rate quote with no exception.


The most important thing you can do is to know of a good Locksmith before you need one.
