Paul223 Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Go to see them face to face, ask for a breakdown of the invoice, and may be suggest the decimal point is in thew incorrect place, also get a couple of quotes from other locksmiths for similar work, take these with you when you go to discuss it :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Judging by the price it sounds like you have dealt with one of the Nationals. They dont have a very good name in locksmithing circles, and they have A-levels in overcharging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agusta Posted May 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 A result......of sorts! After 30 minutes of arguing I finally got him down to £210 inc VAT, think he knew they were taking the p*** Still for a 1-2 minute job its good going, wish I was a locksmith!
