I’ve used 4 locksmiths in 4 different cities in the past 1 ½ years and this would be the absolute worst experience. Over the phone I was quoted $ 20 for the service call and then popping the lock would start at $ 30. I was told that the locksmith would be at the house within 15 or 20 minutes — that turned into an hour!!! This guy’s business also goes by the name Zahar’s Locksmith – so be careful! Once the guy arrived he told me the lock was a hard one to open, which I believed because the past 3 locks I needed picked took 45 – 60 minutes to open. It literally took the guy 60 seconds to open the door! I was house sitting in a rich neighborhood, it was 7:30AM, and I was barefoot — he took advantage of me and charged a whopping $ 144! I did not have time to call other locksmiths since I was already late to picking up my dog from a sitter’s house & had no phone to check-in. In the past I have paid $ 40 which took a guy an hour, $ 60 that took the guy 45 minutes, and $ 100 on Christmas Day and that took the guy almost a full hour. STAYAWAY from this guy! What a ripoff!
