24 7 Locksmith Service of Tampa

scam company. technician showed up and could not program a new key. he left without reassembling the dashboard promising to return later that day. he never returned and took my remote gate opener with him. i tried calling a supervisor several times the next day and never got a return call.
on top of that, the company now wants me to pay them for a service not recieved. unbelievable !!

I was promised that a technician would come to see my car «in 20 – 30 minutes». I wait 30 minutes before calling the company back saying that no one has contacted me or arrived — the operator then proceeds to tell me the «technician is on the way» another 5 minutes pass and finally I get a call from the technician asking for the address for where I am located saying he was «very close by,» I waited 1 hour and 10 minutes for service I was promised «in 15 minutes in the tampa metro area» per website. When I called to complain to the manager he was unsympathetic blaming the situation on me, making me feel like I was crazy for expecting a car within the time period promised on the website. He said the best he could do was «10% discount… which is offered to all individuals regardless of service from their website. The owner refused to listen to my complaints that the operator clearly did not communicate with the technician my whereabouts and that 30 minutes were wasted simply on miscommunication. The owner cut me off a few times during my conversation — did not at all give a care in the world about my concerns. The owner showed no professionalism or accountability for his actions — I would never recommend this service team for any type of service. Poor customer service, no accountability for actions, no remorse. Do not waste your money

Bait n switch! QUOTED-​$ 19 service fee & $ 30 to get keys LOCKED in car total was $ 169.00. I emailed company & they denied its was their company despite it obviously being same company! Woman started yelling at me after I told her I was going to Unilocal it.
Stay away ! It has St Pete number & says its Tampa comes up first in internet search good IT; bad, bad, bad bait n switch

SCAM ALERT!
My son locked his keys is his car, called these guys at 7:10am to get service call quote. Was told, «$ 15 to come out, $ 25-​$ 35 more depending on how long it takes.» The driver arrived QUICKLY, I’ll give him that — but that’s all.
8 min after arriving he was done and charged my son $ 159.99!!! When asked why, was told because the VW Passat doesn’t have normal locks. All the guy did was out two little inflatable pillows in the door crack and reach a stick down to hit the unlock button!!!
I was on phone with company at 8am and given run-​around, then promised a mgr would call when they got in at 9am. 10am rolled around with no call back, so I called again and at first they couldn’t find the record, then was told the last guy didn’t enter my number (when I specifically gave it to him TWICE to have it). Again, told I’d get a call back. 12:45pm roiled around, no call do I call again and explain myself and am told there’s a 48 hour returned call policy, but put on hold. Guy comes back in and says it’s «gonna be awhile before I get a call back since everyone is busy». Riiiiiiight.
RUN! THESE GUYS ARE A SCAM WITH THEIR LOW UPFRONT QUOTES AND JACKED UP PRICES!!!
Finally got a hold of a guy named «Bob Jones» who said he was the supervisor. Frankly, I don’t believe him… He had a heavy accent and was very rude. He already knew why I was calling, and put me on hold right away to talk with the «locksmith technician» who came out this morning. When he came back on, he gave me this big runaround about how things work, but how he wanted to be fair. Then he said it was up to the technician, since they are a subcontractor, to decide how much they charge above a flat rate, and how much they would be willing to reimburse us. He said this could be anywhere from $ 10-​$ 50. He also had told me earlier that they only allow their technicians to charge up to $ 150 for the service… I pointed out that they would probably only refund us the $ 10 to bring it down under $ 150. We had a lengthy discussion about word-​of-​mouth advertisement and honesty, and frankly I still feel taken advantage of. I asked to speak with his general manager and he promised a call back within 48 hours.
Then, my son gave me the name and phone number of the actual technician that he found on the invoice. I called him, and he had no clue about the guy supposedly calling him to work all this out. He said the flat rate for a service call is $ 15. The $ 145.99 above that was due to how much it could cost, and if something bad would happen while they were opening car. He made it sound like it was up to the office how much to charge, but then the call started getting staticky and broke up. He said he would call back, I believe he probably will.
I’ll update this only if outcome is favorable.

This place is a bait and switch scam. Dont use them and get scammed like me. They told me that the service charge was only $ 15, $ 20 starting per re-​key… I had two locks re-​keyed and the bill was $ 145…now you do the math. $ 30 service charge and $ 115 for the locks. WTF. STAY FAR AWAY FROM THEM!!! SCAM ALERT SCAM ALERT!
