Description
I had gotten locked out of my car and called 3 other local locksmiths but no one could help. I even called the police and reading police. Last resort was this locksmith on google who didn’t have an email or website just a number and a good review. I was desperate because I didn’t want my car to be tow away and I also didn’t have a lot of money. The guy over the phone told me it would be 50$ and 15 mins. It took the man over an hour to show, he was driving in a normal car with normal clothes, and overcharged me. When i reached out to see if i could get like a breakdown of why it costs so much I never received a call back.
