3 On Your Side out of Phoenix, AZ did a special a while ago with some helpful tips for consumers. A Goodyear, AZ family was looking for a local locksmith in their area and came across a company called 24/7 locksmith. They had a local number and looked to be a locksmith in Phoenix. He was quoted $20 a door and a $19 service call. He thought he was getting a good deal and was glad to have his new home secured. When the technician arrived the invoice quickly jumped to over $160 for the service. The customer went ahead and paid it but was shocked when the bill on the invoice suddenly changed to over $460. The technician obviously was not a trustworthy Phoenix Locksmith and pulled a bait and switch tactic on the customer to extort more money out of him. 

Because the Locksmith Industry in Phoenix, AZ is unregulated it is real easy for consumers to be scammed and they have no recourse if they do get taken advantage of Gary Harper with 3 on your side recommends you only work with a locksmith that is registered with The Associated Locksmiths of America (ALOA) which is a great start.
