What You Should Know Before Appointing A Lock Smith?
Each and every one has or will get locked out of their car, need to rekey a lock, broken key in ignition or want to modify their home or business security at one point or another. Sometimes it just occurs haphazardly a driver locks the car door and then realize that the keys are in the ignition running especially in older deteriorated locks and occasionally a person just wish to upgrade the security platform in their vehicle, office or home. The meeting with a lock smith some day is imminent and when it does occur, most of us don't know which lock smith company to call.
This days online reputation is the king. The best plan to avert scam locksmiths immoral and overcharges tactics:
Don't do
- Don't contact a whole lot of locksmiths to ask for a prices rate! Timing and quality of products and services are vital factors which usually can't be measured by the representative on the phone.
- Dont furnish your name if you are not truly wish to reserve a service! Lots of fake companies will store your information and deliver it to few random companies and you’ll not have a clue from which lock smith company the technician is landing from.
- Don't hire a company by the location of it's center of operations! Even though Okey DoKey Locksmith is a local company in Houston Texas, we think that good name have very little to do with location. Some of our toughest competition are first rate nation wide companies.
- Don't hire a company by the way they answer the phone - If the dispatcher greet you with a generic greeting as "locksmith services," alternatively to a company-certain name, don't be too concern. In some cases a small or busy lock smith company will out source their customer care intermittently since the techs are engaged in the field and they cannot administer a 24/7 dispatching center.
- Don't negotiate prices over the telephone! Negotiating an estimate is futile.
To do
- Do a quick on line inquiry referring to the company name prior to the actual call.
- look for the company name and check their reviews, rating and reputation on BBB, Home Advisor, Yelp, Google Map and others to make sure they have average ranking of not less than 4.5/5 stars.
- Look for coupons on line preior to the actual call the company and explain to the representative that you obtain a discount coupon.
- Confirm that the service call fee is cost effective (19-29$) to diminish your accountability to be overcharged onsite. We suggest not to make an appointment with a company that advertise for over 29$ service call fee.
- Explain to the representative over the telephone how you found them and suggest to gain them with a rating and review toward discounts and promotions.
- If youre in a lock out situation, but time is on your side, mention it to the representative over the telephone and check if they can offer a discount for a non emergency lock-out.
- Negotiate (without being bossy) with the technician on-site for cost effective rate - The technician onsite is regularly is a proxy of the company and take most of the choices regarding the total price. In some cases the technician can offer promotions to help nice customers.
