It Cost How Much? How To Quickly Spot A Scamming Locksmith.

The best way is to listen and ask questions. They don't like that. Don't settle for "STARTING AT" prices. If they are a legal locksmith, they know how much a car lock usually costs. I mean really, don't they do it for a living? A legitimate legal locksmith will take time to answer questions, b/c they care.

Listen to how they talk to you, don't trust dispatch centers... most are out of country.
Do they sound knowledgable?
AND NEVER TRUST A LOCKSMITH THAT SAYS THEY HAVE TO DRILL YOUR LOCK! 99% of residential locks can be picked. Sure some are not pickable... But, did the locksmith even try?
Pay attention.

Did the locksmith ask for your ID & registration. Or, proof you live there?
Did he write a reciept and have you sign it.... you should know price BEFORE he unlocks your car or home.
Did he act strange? Or was the call strange?

I come across it everyday! I am often stunned by what people tell me they paid for their last lockout. But, it's ultimately up to you to accept a scam or to allow yourself to be scammed.
