Be Aware of Locksmith Scams - How to avoid them

7/13/2015

7 Comments

 
Cityside Locksmith feels it is important that anyone looking to hire a locksmith should be informed about the unfortunate reality that there are scammer companies to avoid. This is a long video, so below please find our summary of the important points:

  • Scam type operations are heavily advertised and their listings are known to outnumber legitimate ads 100:1! It can make finding a legitimate company like searching for a needle in a haystack.
  • Scam companies have very deep pockets and operate nationwide, overcharging by a lot. It is very difficult for a legitimate locksmith company to compete.
  • The scam type companies will do anything to get you to call them. Their websites will often mislead you to believe that the service will be very inexpensive, advertising service calls or $15, and labor as $35 and up.
  • Scam dispatchers will be unable to answer locksmith related questions or to give a flat rate price, or even a ballpark price. They will instead attempt to commit you to the service by rushing off the phone and dispatching a scammer technician, often lying and saying a technician will arrive 15 minutes.
  • Scam technicians are taught to lie and deceive in order to charge high prices. They are dishonest and will force you into unnecessary services and paying too much.
At Cityside Locksmith, we are committed to operating a business with high morals. We care about our customers and would be happy to serve you!

Instead of making your own efforts on fixing locks related
problems, it would be really good to make a call to a professional Locksmith service provider to repair or replace those locks.

There are many reputed companies which offer locksmith services.Those companies which first search in for trained technicians for doing their work are to be hired by everybody. Those companies won't hire scammers to bring their company name down in the market.
