Run Local Locksmith Israeli Locksmith Mafia Misadvertised and grossly overcharged. Centerline, Michigan

29th of Nov, 2011 by User688832

The â€œRun Local Locksmithâ€ company should be avoided at all costs. Most if not all of the positive reviews are put out by the company themselves. My son had locked himself out of our house and he ended up calling this company. They advertised their services for $15. However, when they got to our house the locksmith did not know how to use his key kit and ended up drilling out our core, but before doing so told our son he would need $90 in advance. They (my son and his friends) only had $30. The â€œlocksmithâ€ took what they had and told them not to tell anyone. After he drilled the core out he charged him another $169. After doing some research on this company I discovered that they are part of an organization called â€œIsraeli Locksmith Mafia.â€ ABC did a story on them back in 2007. (http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2007/07/the-locksmith-m/ ). I also looked up the phone number on the receipt (888-686-3088) and found it belonged to Meni Agababayev. When you look up his name in Google you will get many positive reviews. The reason being he put them there. If you look at the sites, most of them are his. He understands how the Internet works and is using it to his advantage. He makes sure that for every bad review there are considerably more positive reviews. If you find yourself in need of a locksmith do not use this company. Find someone who will give you a quote over the phone. The price from a legitimate company should be between $60 to $100 with no extra fees after they get there.
