A 24 Hour Locksmith

i locked my keys in the car. i called this company and they called right back. they quoted 20 for the service call and 35 min to unlock the door i figured 35 and 20 thats 55 maybe most as reviews stated online (which i dont rely anymore these people were paying very low peices compared to me) very cheap. this has nothing to do with the guy who helped me as maybe it wasnt his choice or decision for pricing but this is about the knowledge and pricing. its 2016! there should be a pricing structure im sure all types of cars had been through some sort of process to find exact quotes and not switch and bate. when he came he looked at it and said here its 200 dollars to unlock your car thats including service fee. i was like what? $ 200.00. guys these prices they advertise is not what it seems. get precise professionals and when i mean professionals i mean pros where if i say my car year model alarm or not if keys are in cars there is a price for it dont tell me no one has thought about this yet. but of course its a money scheme. first time using a locksmith service. prices are expensive and services is poor no knoeldge of what they are doing as if its freestyle everyday same car different prices given. using the same method to open the same car year after year n still no data or price but only freestimate as i feel like charging at the moment. i would not recommend this company find others who know what they are doing. it should be same pricing for every car n situation not freesitmate and try to rob people who are at thier most vulanable. all these prices i see on the reviews like i got my car opened for 35 bucks or its was so cheap or its was an inexpensive service are deceiving dont fall for it take the time to call or do what i didnt do youtube it! now i will never need one. Youtube is the best! too bad i found it too late. so people please do not use this service. find a service that has a reputation on pricing and their work especially the knowledgeable services which im sure they lack. shows just how they chrage customer different prices on same cars and situation and whatever they feel like charging. its an arm and a leg guys please research more n dont b suckered like i did. switch and bate is the tactic here so beware of them. i now will take the time to research and not be scammed. my friend told me he had the same service but was only charged 60. why? same car? same situation? stay away guys you have been warned. our vacation of course cut short and went home disappointed and taken advantage of. but hey my bad is your good. watch out!

Really great service Elad helped me out late when I really needed an new set of car keys.

Best way to get a new key I found. Way cheaper than the dealership and they came to my house, Mo was very friendly and and available on a flexible schedule. Glad I found these guys!

I’m happy from the service they provided me I was lock out my car, Johnny came fast in 15 min as promised very nice guy with a professional attitude the guy know what he is doing ! He open the car fast and the price was fair enough

I used this business for a home lock out. The business answered the phone immediately and dispatched a technician within the timeframe I requested. The technician, Sean called me to verify my address, provide an arrival time and updated his arrival status. Sean was very professional, worked quickly and resolved the issue. He explained my options clearly, explained pricing and wasn’t pushy. He asked for ID before starting work which I appreciated.
*Note to the company: Would be nice to have company identification on the technician’s vehicles (magnetic signs) and on the receipt.

Great service to call in a time like this… Service tech was courteous and knowledgeable about what he was doing… transpiring into a quick entry .It’s hard to find a fast and courteous locksmith company… A24 Hour Locksmith is a company I Would use again.

So sketch. I paid with card and the locksmith asked for the three digit security code on the back. I called my bank and they said that wasn’t necessary to make a payment go through so I cancelled my card. They quoted me 25 $ labor fee and 19 $ for the locksmith to come out. When he got to my house, he asked for over 100 $ to pick my lock (the most basic thing ever on this planet to do). I have locked myself out of this apartment before (because I’m brilliant) and have had a locksmith pick my lock within minutes for 50 bucks… I couldn’t find my old locksmiths number, sad day.
ANYWAYS, This guy was struggling soooo hard, my neighbor and I were like wtf? Are we on punk’d? He asked for us to help him numerous times. At one point he straight up handed me a flat head screw driver and told me to stick in in, wiggle it and open the door… uh? I’m not a damn locksmith. If I could poke a screw driver in and open it I wouldn’t have called for help. So, I kindly refused. I asked him why it was so difficult for him to pick my lock. He called me a little girl who doesn’t know what she was talking about. That shut me up really quick.
No, it didn’t. I was like, «oh hell no.» I asked for him to GTFO (kindly, as always) then he suddenly kissed my ass… now we were on track to getting my door open. Oh wait, no. He tried to sell me on a new lock. I said nope, I don’t want a new lock, you need to leave. Frazzled, he popped it open with the inflatable slips. Thirty minutes of my life? WASTED. He creepily asked me to follow him to his van to pay (which was giving him my card number, address, Whole life’s story, unborn child, etc. over the phone). Anyways, this was the strangest experience I have ever had but I made a great snap chat story so I threw him a star.

I needed a new key for my Rogue and get into my car and started frantically calling every number I could find, including the dealership! I thought the dealership would be the best route but after doing my homework, price wise, wasnt the best way to go. Locksmith guy came out to me after 45 minutes of waiting, kind of a long time considering they told me 20 mins but thats ok because right when Jessie got there, he was super nice and reassured me he would get me in and driving off within the next half hour. As he was working on my car, I finally asked him about the price, he couldn’t give me an exact price so someone from the office called me. The manager quoted me$ 325 for the service fee, opening the door and making me a new key! Oh my goodness that was shocking! I told Jessie to stop so I can call around and after another 30 minutes of calling around for quotes, that was the best price I could find. Apparently there are a lot of «24 Hour Locksmiths» A lot of them have the same name, so when you need a locksmith, make sure its A 24 Hr Locksmith, with the «A» in front. Nice guys, good service, wish it was more reasonably priced but they got the job done!

I was locked out of my apartment and this was the first 24 hr locksmith I found on google near me. They answered the phone quickly and a locksmith called me back quickly initially. I was quoted for a price of $ 29 service and a minimum of $ 45 to open the door. I was expecting to pay at most 100 dollars for the service. But then he started telling me it was 120 to open a deadlock, then it was 160 to drill it open if he couldn’t unlock it. So at this point, what originally was going to be a 100 dollar deal turned into almost 200. By the time everything was said and done, we ended up paying 260 to the guy. THEY ONLY TAKE CASH!!! And they allegedly don’t carry change with them either, so don’t expect change. I don’t know if this is what the company sets as the prices or what the locksmith sets, but it was pricey.
He also held my license until he had proof that we lived in the apartment, which is reasonable. But he forgot to give it back after we showed him the license. And we forgot to ask for it too, so DON’T FORGET TO GET YOUR ID BACK. They don’t have an office at this address physically, so I basically played phone tag and car tag to have the locksmith meet back up with me so I could get it back. It was very frustrating at the time. I was told 3 different times that the locksmith who had my license would call me back. I did not receive a follow up call any of those times. At this point, I don’t trust these people because they can’t even keep their word and follow up with a simple phone call. And I couldn’t call the locksmith because he was «on a job». The locksmith himself did apologize for keeping the license (when he FINALLY called me back), but whoever answered the phone calls at their mysterious location called me impatient because I kept calling them to follow up on the ID. With all the identity theft out there nowadays, I was very anxious to have it back.
I am pretty easy going and very reasonable. I don’t mind dishing out a little extra money because it was a late night call and he did have to drive 45 minutes. But I honestly would not use this company again because of the tactless way they handled the return of my license. It makes me wary of the way they handle the other parts of their business.
TL;DR: expect to pay almost 2.5 times more than you’re quoted on the phone. remember to get your ID back otherwise they’ll send you on a wild goose chase trying to get it back.

Its too bad that i can’t give «no star» rating
This Company is unprofessional bottom line. I woke up Today, to find that my girlfriends car was broken into. Someone tried (unsuccessfully) to start the car with a screw driver damaging the ignition lock cylinder. After searching for someone that makes house call we call this guy «Moe» from a 24 hour locksmith INC. now this is where our problem starts. I am very familiar with cars. but I had to got to work (reluctantly (and I let my girlfriend deal with the car herself. BAD idea. he told my girlfriend that it would cost $ 185 to get it done. Slowly but surely he started to add more charges after the original estimate. He bought the MOST expensive ignition lock cylinder he could find. Then added a charge for putting the cylinder in. afterwards he began to tell my girlfriend the charges. I’ll list them
taking ignition out-​171 $
buying new ignition-​185 $ (i don’t believe this)
Putting the ignition in -?
work done per hour -?
the Icing on this unfortunate cake, is that after all of this he DID NOT give us a itemized receipt on what he spent and what he was charging us for. The end result was 486 $
he only spent 30 min putting it in.
I’m having so much trouble figuring out why it was so much. But, I know why it was so much. He flat out thought my girlfriend was an easy target, and took advantage of her.
Don’t use this company unless you are rich and don’t care, and things like rent and bills don’t matter.
PS i called moe and tried to have a conversation with him. he called my girlfriend this «LADY» unprofessional. He dealt with her on the phone and in person for three hours.
He also hung up on me, at the end of the conversation.
am i going too far when i say I’m going to file a small claims suit against him. he pretty much stole 286 dollars from us.
unprofessional outrageous criminals
Don’t trust this company they will rob you.

I accidentally locked me and my 3 year old daughter outside of our home last night. It was getting dark, and my phone was almost dead. Due to my own irresponsibility, the only spare key was inside the house. I was desperate and scared; I didn’t even have my car keys on me.
I called this place after doing a quick Google search, hoping to God my phone didn’t die. A dispatcher answered immediately, and told me there’s a $ 15 service charge to come out, and the rest of the cost depended on labor. Then, he told me the locksmith would call me within 2 – 5 minutes. After 15 minutes waiting outside with my daughter, I didn’t receive a call, so I called back and got another dispatcher, who said she would have him call me right away. Luckily, he DID call me, and said he was 5 minutes out. I told him where I was, and to look for me if my phone died. He said he would.
He showed up in a green Jeep with no labeling or stickers on it. He had a passenger, who ended up to be his brother. He introduced himself to me or my daughter, shook my hand, and took a look. He said the lock was pick-​proof, and he would have to use the airbag to open it. Then he quoted me the fee: $ 130, plus the service fee = $ 145. I was absolutely in shock. He ended up bringing it down to $ 105 after military and student discounts. Let me be clear: my complaint isn’t about the technician, Jesse. I found him to be a nice, professional guy. I’m sure that he doesn’t set the prices.
Anyways: he took out a little airbag thingy, put it in my door, pumped it up, and popped it open. IT LITERALLY TOOK LESS THAN 30 SECONDS. I’m perfectly happy to pay for the guy’s time, the service charge, whatever. But $ 105?! There goes rent money. I am pretty angry about this. I was in a very vulnerable position, and I felt very taken advantage of. I would suggest that anybody in a bind who doesn’t have tons of disposable income NOT use this company. Ever. I’m really disappointed that I was taken advantage in that way.
