Description

I locked the keys in my car. I called this number and was told the technician would call me. He did and said he was on the way. Upon arrival he inspected my car, said "there is a fee for the type of security my car had and that it would call the police" and another charge for "company fees & bull**** . He quoted me $250 for the job. This is my first experience with a locksmith so I was not aware of market prices, was desperate and I agreed. He asked for a form of ID and text messaged a photo of it to someone. After watching what he did - the "security system" had no effect on his job, I tried to talk him down calling him out on his falsehoods. Ended up paying for the service which I knew I had been scammed into.
