Philadelphia Locksmith 24/7

This company is absolutely terrible!!!
So I couldn't find Chris Lazin of the former Lazin Locksmith Co. who used to be my go-to locksmith guy.
I found this place on line, seemed decent with several locations and the lady on the phone seemed nice. HUGE MISTAKE!!
The guy they sent spent HOURS trying to change the locks in the house. The barrels are now loose and turn around inside of the locks, not a single key they gave me works smoothly and here is the best part - NO ONE can make a key that will work in them except for these guys!! No one!! Not the corner hardware stores, not Home Depot or Lowes, not the key guy on 13th, not even Houdini's overpriced keys worked - no one!
And trying to get them back out for service is impossible. Once they've got your money there is no way they are coming back out to correct the nightmare they've created.
And when I aked to speak to a supervisor guess what they told me: no you can't and I'm not putting you through to one.
DO NOT USE THEM!!!

If I could rate them negative stars or zero I absolutely would.

Pros: nice lady on phone

Cons: Hands down the worst locksmiths EVER!!!

This is a scam company! Go to google & type "Locksmith Fraud". They are not locksmiths. They pose as locksmiths. All The addresses that they use belongs to other businesses. Go to whitepages online & do a reverse addresses look up. Call the phone numbers that are listed there. This company will never give you a full price over the phone. They quote a very "low" price to come out. (this is how they bait you in) & increase the price to hundreds if not thousands of dollars when they are done. WHEN SEARCHING FOR A LOCKSMITH, ASK FOR THERE PHYSICAL ADDRESS. IF THEY DON'T HAVE ONE, WATCH OUT! IF THEY ASK FOR YOUR ZIPCODE, YOU'RE GOING TO GET RIPPED OFF! iF THEY TELL YOU $39.00 - $55.00 SERVICE FEE TO COME OUT, YOU'RE GOING TO GET RIPPED OFF! Don't believe it! Call them & ask, "how much is it to open my car door. The keys are locked inside, sitting on the front passenger seat. How much is it to open it." Give them the year, make & model of the car .(ex. 98' Toyota Corolla. Sit back & listen to the B.S.! It will sound something like this," well what's your zipcode(1st red flag- if they're address is in philly they shouldn't need a zipcode). Well it's $ _ _ to come out & the technician will determine the price to open it depending on the security mechanism on the car. JACKPOT! Ok, why do they use other people addresses? 1st- when they rip you off, you will never be able to track them down! 2nd- This is one of the reasons how they are able to list "400" phone number in philly. That's not a typo! 400. They had 800 in Chicago undere the name Priceline Locksmith. They change their name constantly. These are a few. USA Lock, Dependable Locksmith, AAA Locksmith, 24hr. Emergency Locksmith, ooo Locksmith, A 1 Emergency Locksmith A-Plus Locsmith, AM/PM Locksmith, A 24 hour Always Avuable Emergency Locksmith (not a typo), Locksmith 24 Hour Inc., etc, etc. Check your yellow page books. If you're every ripped off by this company, contact the Attorney Generals office

Pros: None

Cons: This Company! Fraud Company. They list bogus addresses. They over charge. They damage locks.
