24/7 Locksmith

Locked my keys in my car in the city of Sunnyvale, CA. Googled a locksmith and this was the first one to pop up. Called for help. They say they charge you $ 15 then a $ 35 labor fee. Ended up charging me $ 250 and took the man 30 seconds to do. I was in absolute shock. This company are a bunch of con artists, professional scammers. ABSOLUTE SCUM. Stay away from these people at all costs!!!

Is there a negative 20 Stars? I wish I would have checked Unilocal,but was in a bind. I was quoted over the phone $ 25 to have some locks installed. When the guy arrived he told me it would be $ 60 a piece… plus $ 19 service charge. Being in a pinch, I agreed. 2 of the locks broke within a day because the guy glued the pieces together. Really? The other two were installed crooked and improperly. I called and spoke to a supervisor named Jacob. I was told it would taken care of and I would receive my money back for the two that broke. However, only part of the money was dropped off. After wasting countless hours, I have done some research and found this company contracts out their work to independent locksmiths. They are nation wide and continue to rip people off. As others have mentioned, this company is a FRAUD. There are many reliable and reputable companies in California. DON’T USE THIS COMPANY! THEY ARE SHADY!!!

Just be careful with «²⁴⁄₇ Locksmith Services (408−915−7589)», I feel that I was not treated fairly by a «Greed is Good» capitalist business. I did have the option to say NO, after the technician was «wink, wink» trying to pick my door lock. The bottom line is buyer be VERY AWARE of «24÷7 Locksmith Services».
Here is the experience, after coming home at 4am in the morning to find that my door lock had broken (the key just wouldn’t open the door); I finally called «24÷7» who told me there would be a «$ 15 service fee, followed by a fee starting at $ 35 depending on work involved», that sounded reasonable.
After the technician arrived and knock the top of the lock off and then picked around with a tool at the exposed lock, that is when he tells me that his picking is a charge of $ 235, if he has to drill out the lock the fee is $ 335, THAT is when I should have said NO, paid $ 15 + $ 35 and took the lost and try to call a better company; hopefully ALL emergency type locksmith are NOT shady.
One lock, remove & replaced, total cost to me was $ 369 (Drill out fee, service fee & Tax); I think the moral of this story would be to say to any locksmith.
– «What is the cost to drill the lock out and replace?»…
This way YOU the consumer can cut through the razzle-​dazzle BS and get to your cost for this type of emergency.

These people are complete rip off artists. I locked myself out of the house around 11:00 pm. I went to talk to my neighbors and suggested breaking the knob with a hammer. He said that would probably cause a lot of damage and suggested a locksmith. He came over to the house and sure enough it was impossible to get into. He googled for a locksmith and this was the 2^nd place he called after getting no answer from the first call. I was told $ 15 to come out and then it was $ 50.00. That sounded fine to me. So the guy finally showed up with his tool bag in hand. He started to try to pick the lock and asked me how I was going to pay cash or card. I said it all depends how much it is, knowing I had some cash. He said if he could pick the lock it was $ 285, and if he had to drill it the cost was $ 385. I was stunned. So lo and behold it was $ 385. Total cost $ 400.00. I mentioned the man we talked to said $ 15 and $ 50 and he responded by saying that would be the price if he could open the door with a credit card. Sure wish I had seen the negative reviews before they came out. BEWARE! If I could give less then 1 star, I would. More like a negative would be better.

AVOID AT ALL COST! This is a SCAM! The «locksmith» charged me $ 350 to replace the door knob. His name is Jay, he is a con-​artist. He avoided all questions about the company and made excuses for every question I asked him. When he finished with the job, he did not clean up the mess he made, because he was trying to leave as fast as possible. He claimed that the companies machine was down and had to follow me to ATM to get his money. I asked if I could be billed instead and said the company does not do that. Which is all bullshit because he wanted it cash because it’s untaxed. I did not want to sign the his receipt and forced me too. When asked, if I could speak to his manager, he said he did not have one. I asked for a business card and once again he said he did not have one. I asked for the company’s address and he said they did not have one. When asking for his name he did not want to give me it. He just told me his name was «Jay the locksmith» but would not give me his last name. I was hesitant to give him the money but told me that his manager would be upset with him if he did not receive the money when leaving the job, but had told me earlier he did not have a manager. This guy «jay the locksmith» is a lier. When he followed me to ATM he was in a regular car, that he claimed was a company rental. What company does not have company cars? Also the whole time he was trying to leave as fast as he could and avoid questions. He kept telling me he had to leave because he had two costumes waiting but I over heard his phone conversation with his wife about having dinner after. If I could give this company zero stars I would!

Literally am so pissed off right now. I asked for a quote and the guy told me $ 20 and I got stuck with a $ 159 bill… Never again!!!

They tried very very very hard to avoid your questions how much they really charge before the service. They then told you the total was $ 229 after unlocking a simple door knob with a minute of work. The guy claimed that their credit card machine was broken and asked for cash only. He refused to send me a bill. He just wanted to follow me to an ATM machine to get the cash. It felt like robbery.
DO NOT USE THEM!

Do not use! A complete rip off! They charged me $ 229 (they graciously waived the $ 19 service fee after I complained), to change out a mailbox lock that literally took 15 minuets and less than $ 10 in parts. I have a lot going on so I paid the fee just to get it done, but this was a complete ripoff. I can’t stress enough DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!

–5 is their rating! SCUM! DO NOT USE! I should have sent him packing when he showed up at night without a light source. He «tried» to pick my lock, all the time muttering that my lock was unpickable. After a few tries (me using my cell phone to give him light to work with) he said it was unpickable and pulled out his trusty drill and destroyed the lock. Ok, I got in, which I needed then he charged me $ 354 for destroying my lock. I would have fared better if i had put out an add for a bugular to break into my apartment. i was upset and had a dog inside that needed to get out so I didn’t Unilocal them first. I learned my lesson the expensive way.

Never call (408) 915 7580
Professional scammers.

Complete Rip off, stated 305 dollars to open a door. If they could not pick the lock, they would have to drill it out and charge you labor and new lock. After all said and done, sent my credit card over the phone to someone else, copied it on a piece of paper with cv number, then charged me 500 Dollars. For 500 you can kick the door off the Hinges and replace the frame door and lock for less than 500. You can break a window and replace the glass for 120.
I am going to call again just to Kick their ass with friends and ski masks for General Principle.
This is CRIMINAL. A whole new lock assembly costs less than 100 dollars. I called them an raised hell and he said he would try and get a discount to what it should be 335 which is still really Steep.
