If you ever find that you need a locksmith, please take the time to ensure that you use a truly 'Local' Locksmith, and not a call centre that facades as a local company and sends you any old Joe blogs! National Locksmith companies have absolutely no customer loyalty and will inevitably rip you off in the process. They simply look at you as a 'one hit wonder' and squeeze as much £££ out of you as possible, knowing that you are maybe in a vulnerable position and need help asap. We hear horror stories day after day and are often called upon to rectify or finish complete cowboy jobs. So don't call the first advert that pops up on your browser search, but take a minute or two to choose wisely? |
