So angry!!
So, last night, early hours of Sunday, a job comes through for a Kia Rio, keys locked inside in Roodepoort.
I could not get hold of the client but he called me this afternoon.
The client informs me that he has been helped and as usual my inquisitive mind kicks in and I ask how much he paid the locksmith to go and open his car.
His reply shocked me to my core.
This unscrupulous locksmith had the audacity to charge the client R2995.
I told the client that I would have done it for him at a more reasonable sounding R950.
It's about time that we as legitimate locksmiths take a stand against these unscrupulous and thieving R250 call-out Locksmiths who end up demanding figures as high as R6000 for vehicular lockouts.
Clients should be educated about the avenues of recourse available to them such as PSIRA and LASA.
What some guys out there are getting away with is nothing but criminal and they are causing irreparable damage to the industry.
