Will strait lie to you on price, then act like they are doing a favor in reducing a price that was already nearly 4 times the price quoted.

Called due to keys locked in car (dropped out of pocket when getting out of car). I was quoted $34 + $19 call out charge.

Guy gets there 10 minutes late, then starts to stick equipment in door frame. After inserting asks how much I was quoted I said 34+ the call out fee. He responds saying it "starts at $34 dollars and goes up". I immediately ask how much and I get $180 as the price.

I immediately refuse, and state again what I was quoted. Guy says he will waive the call out fee...yeah big relief, but he cannot drop any lower.

I tell him he can pull it out and leave then. He then drops to 160.
I respond that a still inaccurate to their quote but comparable price was $60 from another locksmith's quote. says he can drop to 150 but no more. I respond with I can go to $80, he ponders & drops to 120, I say $100 but he cannot go back with less.
