Description

I called a locksmith on the phone from the internet, he came to my house I told him I had a broken key stuck inside the door lock, he said he could take care of it. the out side screen was locked so he had to open it and he did which literally not even took 2 seconds--- he charge me 99.00 dollars for that. then he unlocked the main door and way way over charged me 249.00 dollars, also way way over charged me for a new lock at 289.00 dollars, and 99.00 dollars to install it. for the service call he charge me 89.00 dollars. He also charge me for using a credit card for 30.00 dollars. He told me the rate was so high because the work was done on a Sunday and yes I understand that, I WAS ROBBED AND TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF, he knows he over charge me when I needed help. The total amount added up to 780.00 dollars. They do not have an address because they work out of the phones- his cell phone, his number comes up as Locksmith Tech and is 402-284-0090. This company should be shut down and he should be put in Jail for this kind of business. Please any one using them should be aware of this, and Please. Please don't use them. Beaware!
