24/7 BAY AREA LOCKSMITH

Biggest scam ever. The website advertises «$ 35 and up for car lockout services.» They do get to you very promptly, but that’s the only positive I can say.
When the person arrived, he quoted me $ 300.
I feel like that’s a pretty generous interpretation of «$ 35 and up.»
He instructed me to call his manager, at a third number I won’t post here. The quotes started varying wildly at this point.
I called the initial (866) 796‑4737 number I booked with. They gave me *another* price.
He refused to give me a receipt at the end. Clearly they want to keep all of their business off the books.

Called and got a quote of $ 15 service fee with minimum of $ 35 depending on the work that needs to be done. Guy came did the job for less than 15 mins and charging us $ 285. I have kids and we need to get in the apartment. i was desperate and its a Sunday weekend too. Unfortunately our apartment dont offer a lock out service anymore. NEVER EVER USE THIS COMPANY. No one gets paid $ 285 in 15−20mins of work. The guy even asked if we are paying cash and if so, hes willing to take $ 250 instead. And No receipt issued as well. My husband was too mad to remember to get one.

Guy that came was nice, fee was $ 184!!! Not anywhere close to the $ 19 quoted over the phone but I had to get back into my house. Way to take advantage of people. Don’t know how they sleep at night. Should have Unilocaled them.

SCAM ARTISTS AND RIP OFFS!!! CHARGED me $ 15 dollars to just tell how much it was gna cost to unlock my door and make replacement keys for $ 600 ??? $ 300 for LABOR???

DO NOT CALL them. Absolutely terrible. Ridiculous. Scammers. Rip off. Hustlers.
While dog sitting, I was in a hurry and the $ 15 arrival rate online caught my attention and they were listed as one of the first advertised online. When I asked on the phone how much they would charge, they shared $ 15 to arrive to your house and varying costs dependent on the nature of the lock. Fine. To open a simple bottom lock on a gate door, he charged $ 350! Outrageous. He stated, he would give me a 10% discount if I paid cash and could follow me to the ATM. After the experience, I checked around and the going rate is $ 100-​$ 200 to open a locked door. Very bothered by the level of operational dishonesty. BEWARE and STAY CLEAR! I did not have my phone on me and ironically only had my laptop connected to wifi and did not check Unilocal.Mistake. Always check Unilocal before hand for services!!!

BEWARE! Don’t call them for service. They are SCAM! I locked myself out with my puppy. A guy came out after 2 hrs later. Drilled and destroyed the door knob. Then I didn’t realized he changed a new knob after I put my puppy away. The cost was $ 897.00. I’m still in shock!

WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. Locked myself out of my car and had the sketchiest man came and help me. He rolls up in a minivan with loud music and the man didn’t even speak English!!! Couldn’t believe I paid $ 100 for his crappy service. You’re probably better off breaking your window to access your keys than calling these guys for help.

THIS COMPANY SHOULD BE PUT OUT OF BUSINESS! Called to get access into my house; only lock on ground floor had broken and wouldn’t work locking me outside of the house. Locksmith could not gain access either. He ended up crawling up balcony to second floor entering through a sliding door that was unlocked. He tinkered with the broken lock and said he couldn’t fix it but he might have something in his car that might work. Without my permission, he put a new lock and handed me a bill for almost $ 1200. Told him I did not have that kind of money and he could remove the new hardware I didn’t authorize; «can’t do that because now it is used». Kept asking me for a credit card or, if I could go to my bank and get money from ATM. I refused to do either and told him I would pay him no more than $ 700 with a check – that was a mistake also. Called my bank later informing them of this SCAM; they blocked this company’s access to any of my funds. Is there any regulatory agency that can hold this company accountable for such a RIPOFF?

This company is a SCAM and steals your ID and charges additional charges after paying cash for a simple unlock of a Toyota car that I previously had paid $ 60. I had agree to $ 80 since they said it was Sunday and there was a premium charge. The guy kept saying my charge would not run through and he needed cash. Stupid me I went to the ATM and gave them cash only to discover my card in fact was charged. I made a police report and this listing should be taken off Google as criminal operators.

I had the exact same experience as the other reviewer: quoted a $ 39 visit, arrived and charged a $ 350 for 10 minutes of work. Clearly a scam, taking advantage of people. You need to avoid these people at all costs.

DO NOT HIRE THIS PEOPLE!!!
I accidentally locked myself out as I was in a hurry to attend a meeting so I called this company after I google locksmith in my area on a Friday. Their locksmith arrived at my house after 20 minutes later and charged me $ 335 for opening one simple lock with the air pumped bag. The website states that the door lockout is only $ 29 and the lady who answered my call told me the service fee would be an extra $ 35, how did the locksmith feel the right to charge me $ 335 is beyond my imagination!
After I complained a lot, he decided to charge me $ 200, which is still extremely expensive! He took advantage of me because he knew that I was late for a meeting and couldn’t wait for another locksmith to show up. These people are crooks!!!
