Speedy Locksmith

When the technician finally arrived he jacked the price up from $35 to $189, saying it depends on the lock.  This lock was in a door handle, and it took him 5 minutes to pick it.

This company goes by several names.  The ones I caught were Coyote Lock and Key and Speedy Lock.  I needed them  to open a lock located in the handle of a residential door.  I was quoted $35 plus $19 for the house call.  I agreed and asked them to come in 2 hours since I was leaving for a meeting.  She said to be sure and leave my phone on as the technician would be calling when he was on his way.   They mistakenly sent two technicians on the same job and it took 8 calls to straighten it all out (so much for my meeting).

The technician didn't arrive when scheduled and that took a couple more calls.  By this time they were beginning to speak politely to me.  Prior to this I was yelled at a couple of times.

The technician wanted to charge me $189 plus $19 for the house call.  I told him I'd break a window before I would pay that kind of money.  We finally agreed on a price of $41 plus $19 for the house call.  I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS LOCKSMITH.

BTW apparently they are nationwide and scam people everywhere

I called this locksmith on Tuesday morning, explained that I needed a mobile locksmith to pick my travel trailer lock and make replacement keys.  They said no problem, they would send out a locksmith.  Quoted me around $60...  Ok fine...  When the "locksmith" got to my house he looked confused, had to text his supervisor...  He then told me it was going to be $129!  Just to open the door!  He didn't have any capabilities to make keys!  He was not a mobile locksmith.  I told him I would absolutely not pay $129, that he should leave.  

He then demanded that I pay the service call fee...  Ok... But you came unprepared to do the thing that I asked you to do!  Make keys!   He couldn't cut a single house key if he wanted to...  Anyway I'm pretty ticked at this point.  Paid him to get him out of there, then called the company back.  They took my number said the manager would get back to me to resolve the fiasco the next day.  No call back yet.  So manager, if you are reading this, please call me...  Let's resolve this!  Service was on 7/28/15 at 3pm...

I asked them to come out and work on a lock. Never showed up. Had to go with someone else.
