I had to wait for 2 hours for a locksmith today (oct 31, 2006). I had locked my keys in the car. When that locksmith never showed to get me in, I called ABC 24/7 from an ad in the Yellow Pages. They came out nad informed me it would be $125 yto get into my car. I agreed because I had to get back to work.

It took this guy no more than 2 minutes total to get in and he charged me $125 for the Lock-out charge and another $55 for the service call. I called around and found that most everyone else in the area was from $60 to $85 to perform the same service.

This bill was out-and-out gouging and dispite me signing the receipt that said I have no complaints, I have nothing but complaints regarding this pricing. This is simply outrageous and takes advantage of those unfamiliar with the area pricing.

you were scammed

Gregory, these guys are scammers. The illinois attorney general is currently going after one of these companys. You should file a complaint with Lisa madigans office and also you need to file a complaint with the Illinois Department of financial and professional regulation. These companys are doing the same thing to you and other people across the nation every day.

Go to www.aloa.org and you can click the phony locksmith link and see many storys on these scammers.
many of them here in chicago. Larry Yellon of fox news chicago has done many investigative reports on this very subject.

go to aloa.org and check it out. Also please file a complaint with the agencys I have mentioned above.
