Questions to consider the next time you need a locksmith
SUMMARY: A woman’s business trip in St. Louis took a turn when she accidentally locked her keys in her truck. She called Rocket Locksmith and, despite not receiving a price beforehand, ended up paying $300 for the service after the technician unlocked her vehicle. Industry expert Sean Kelly indicated that the standard rate for such a job is about $150 on a Sunday. Concerns arise about locksmiths not being direct employees of the companies called, leading to potential pricing and service issues. The locksmith’s owner agreed the charge was high and is investigating the situation, aiming for customer satisfaction.

FOX 2’s Mike Colombo shares the importance of selecting a locksmith to prevent potential price scams.
