MR Quick Pick Locksmith

This is the worst locksmith company I have ever used. They quoted something cheap on the phone. When they come out, they charged more than $ 200 to change the mailbox key. It’s a ripoff!!! Never Never use this company! It’s a scam.

I contacted this place to pick a lock for me at the self storage facility that I run. They came 20 minutes after the call I already have the locked picked and I already called the main number to cancel the locksmith. The LockSmith came in and demanded I pay the $ 19. he was sexist and couldn’t believe a woman could pick a lock. He was persistent on me showing him the lock that I picked I told him no and he said he was proud of me. What a scammer what a bunch of BS

Same story as everyone else: these scam artists tried to fleece me out of hundreds of dollars after getting a price quote of $ 19 for the base visit and $ 35-​$ 65 for the lock. «Miles» was the shady guy they sent with his friend who harassed me unceasingly to try and badger me into paying. Like the previous reviewer stated, these two large men refused to leave, and tried to physically intimidate me, at 11pm – it’s horrifying. After over an hour on the phone with the operator and Miles’ boss, it was taken down to $ 90 – still not in the range that was agreed upon, so I will be disputing this charge and filing complaints.

fuck this bitch business, do look other’s reviews, call the cops if you cannot handle them

Do not contact this place. Ever. They are scammers and their business should be removed permanently.
My cousin locked herself out of her room and we tried to find a locksmith that was open 24 hrs. Lo’ and behold, this one came up through Google (WITHOUT looking it up at Unilocal!). We were told of a $ 35 quote from an individual over the phone, so we both thought it was not so bad. The locksmith came in less than 30 minutes and went to inspect the lock. Just like any business, you have to be careful and make sure them mofos ain’t trying to rip you off. I asked him, «So what’s the price for this?» He replied under his breath, «It’s going to be $ 250. This lock is very complex and difficult.»
Oh hell no, red flags for days!
While my cousin was stalling time, I picked up the phone to call another place that quoted me for $ 75. We immediately told him to leave in which he refused, which is pretty damn scary. He said, «Well if the other place is quoting you on $ 75, between you and me, I’ll knock it down to $ 150. You don’t have to call my manager.»
WHAT THE ****!
We told him to leave and he still refused and said, «Okay, how about I knock it down to $ 100 then?!»
No biznatch, you and your creepy services are not needed. Leave. Now. Before I call the cops.
He has this 6^th grade rolling backpack that he lugged into the house and when he left, he was so pissed that he lugged his crap across where her family keeps their shoes in place and decided to drag some of the shoes to the door on his way out. Ass wipe. He STILL didn’t leave. He called his manager and told me to speak to them and was told, «My employee is on his holiday period and he went all the way out to fix you this lock and you decide not follow through?»
What holiday is today? Scam Holiday? Did I miss something? I ain’t got time to be apologizing to you, you still charged me $ 20 regardless for having this fool show up that tried to hustle and ended up looking like a donkey.
Told the manager exactly what happened over the phone (even though he probably is in this scam too), and he tried to negotiate and match the $ 75 price to the other place we ended up calling.
Rescue Ron Automotive Lock Services was the 2^nd one we called and their services were awesome.
Now please, someone, somewhere, get these fools out of business permanently PLEASE.

If I could give zero stars I would. I was told the locksmith would arrive in 20 minutes. This was at 8:30 am. I received a call from 951−742−9638 and he stated that he would be there in 20 minutes. Then he called 20 minutes later and said the 405 freeway was jammed and he would be there in 25 more minutes. Two hours go by and I cancelled since these bozos held up my Saturday for two hours. I called the locksmith back and told him he was a dishonest dirtbag and should have just told me the truth. Then he says I can be there by noon. He lied twice already, what makes me think his word is any good now? Don’t waste your time with these clowns. Use a real company.

Complete scammers — period. First the «locksmith» (if that’s what he really was) showed up in an unmarked car, wearing regular «street» clothes, and looked shady from the moment he walked up. Over the phone, I had been quoted $ 75 -$ 90 for a job explained in great detail (very simple one, really — change locks on a couple of doors). Other «real» locksmiths were charging $ 100 — $ 120. The Quick Pick guy came and said that my locks were super difficult and it would be $ 450. I nearly laughed him out the door. I happened to be moving that day, and my movers came over and told that this guy behaved like a scam artist. I told the locksmith to take a hike, and he said I owe him the $ 19 service fee. I told him no way am I going to pay for a bait & switch. He threatened to call the cops on me — and I told him to get off my property as he was trespassing, and I’d call the cops as well. I think that plus having multiple burly movers watching him seemed to help him think it was a good idea to leave. Finally his «supervisor» called to also threaten me with a call to the cops if I didn’t pay, claiming that the locksmith makes accurate assessments on the ground. I called a local mobile locksmith («Knight’s Locksmith in Fremont) — and they did they job in 20 min for just a few bucks over the original quote.

their new website is quicklocksmith247 dot com and they ripped me off today. I was locked out of my bedroom which has the most simple lock ever. they asked 170 dollars to fix it. and when I refused they forced me to give 50 dollars cancellation fee. so here I am, pissed off just gave 70 bucks for nothing. please sue them if you can. because I dont know how.

You know something’s wrong when *every* review is a one star review claiming the same thing. Didn’t see these reviews so I fell into the trap. For other reviewers, these guys showed up late and charged exorbitant fees. In my case, no one even showed up, yet the worker lied about it to his manager and they still insisted on charging me money. I’m just glad we didn’t pay them up front.
Here’s a more detailed account.
9:01: Called to ask for help. Was told a technician would call back.
9:28: Technician called back. Said he’d arrive in half an hour.
10:44: Called the technician. Said he was almost here.
11:09: Called the technician. Said he was almost here.
Told them to forget about it. Ended up getting help from someone else. However, the worker ended up reporting the matter to his higher-​up but lied about the matter, saying he’d actually showed up. Manager still wanted money for their «services».

Do NOT Pay Them SPECIALLY With a Credit Card! Call the cops, or just refuse to pay! But pay them in Cash. They are professional scam artists that use google Ads and social netowkrs to bring you in, and have covered their own tracks so other people, including this poor guy gets the blame for them.
These Scum also use poor foreign kids to do their dirty work for them.
Here is what happened.
I had locked my cell and my wallet plus my keys inside.
I found them on Google Banner Ad. They had two banner ads saying it cost $ 19 and $ 15 respectively for them to come out. I called both numbers using a neighbor’s cell, and the same person answered the phone; beautiful female voice and sounded professional, but also creepy. Anyway, They said $ 19 to come out $ 35/​hour for labor.
Finally I gave in and told them to send a locksmith.
An Israeli kid shows up with very thick accent. Without even looking at the lock he said: «Oh this is a hard lock, this is a hard lock». Then he start picking the lock. He was a pleasant kid, and obviously the scummy people had out sourced the job to him. He told me he is from Haifa.
Then he told me If we have to drill it is $ 235!!! I told him, forget it: «I’ll wait for my wife to come home.» and if he can pick the lock we have a deal, otherwise, he has to come back and get his money, because my wallet was inside. ” He said OK 10% discount, if I pay him Cash!!! I told him no way, I don’t have the cash on me, and again My Wallet Was Inside.
So he continues picking the lock, and finally he gets in.
When I ask him how much, he still quotes me the $ 235 price again!!! He told me that drilling would be $ 335 and the office will cause both of us troubles. I call the office and after half an hour of being on hold, they tell me it is $ 180. I told them that was not the deal and I will be calling the cops. They panicked and the crooked lady on the phone, kept asking her boss what to do and kept putting me on hold. After a few back and forths, they settled on a $ 100. I paid the kid in Cash and he disappeared.
Now I am worried about these scum doing something, like breaking into the house again. They are not on
, or on Google+. They are not on
either.
Just do not call their numbers, and do do not freaking pay them, Specially With Credit Cards.

Terrible, terrible, terrible! Do not use! They made me wait over 1.5 hours to come out and fix my front door lock. The «fix» made the lock worse than when they started the job. Then they charged $ 250 for this «service.» The technician was unwilling to change the price, so I called the main office. The jerk I spoke with insisted I pay them for this crap. Do not be fooled by a professional looking web site. They are crooks. Report them to the state of California, to the BBB, and to anyone else who will take a report!!!

Beware! Ditto everything the other reviewers said. Exact same scam: Quoted us for $ 20 per re-​key, came 1 hour late without even apologizing and said it would be $ 350!!!
It’s hard to find their name or any information about them. I spent some time trying to find them here on Unilocal… very fishy stuff going on.
Isn’t it easier to do clean business? they must spend so much time and effort creating this SCAM!

I locked myself out of the house and needed to get back home quick as I had a hungry 2 year old with me.
I wished I had read Justin S review before I called this locksmith company. They are indeed a scam artist!!! I got charged $ 428 for their services! It all started with «it’s just $ 19 to make a house call and we have technicians available now». «And the technicians can’t give you an estimate until they see the lock»
On their website, it listed $ 35* starting to unlock your door.
When I got the total bill… it was $ 428!
$ 19 for service call
$ 235 just to open my lock! (Either to pick the lock or drill my lock open)
$ 99 for a new lock
$ 55 to adjust the lock
$ 20 to use my credit card
I called the company to lodge a complaint. And I will lodge a complaint with the California state department. This company is so unethical.

They are scammers. They practice bait and switch methods. I called because I locked myself out of my house. They have a great looking website that list decent prices and looks very professional. I called and spoke to someone who was very professional and helpful. They told me someone would be out in less than 25 minutes.
They do not have a local location. It is pretty bad when the receipt they give you does not have a physical address or a local phone number on it.
The person arrived about 30 minutes later. Asked what happened. I explained and he examined the lock on the front door. I had a very hard time understanding him at this point. I thought I heard him say $ 54 to pick the lock. I told him to go ahead and open it. He could not pick the lock. He told me he would have to drill the lock. I told him to go a head. He finished getting the door open. He came back with his receipt book and told me the cost would be $ 354 with out any accent. I was very unhappy with this. When I called in to request they come out they told me they accepted credit cards. I said I wanted to use a credit card to pay. He told told me there would be a $ 30 charge for the credit card use. I was even more unhappy and decided to pay in cash since there was no way I was giving him my credit card when he only had the old fashioned paper credit card slips where they take an imprint of your card.
I have filed a complaint with the company and the state of California.
I also found out the going rate for something like this in my area is around $ 105 — $ 150. When I found that out I had to laugh as the person from Quick Pick told me that I would most likely have had to pay more with another locksmith.
What crooks! Be ware of this company!
