I called Locksmith East Cobb from a neighbor's house because I was locked out of mine.  I asked how much it would cost to have my door unlocked and was told there's a $29 service charge and then it would depend on what kind of lock I have.  I agreed to the price and asked them to meet me at my house in an hour (I ran an errand while I was out).  When I returned home, my neighbor was at my house with the locksmith and my door was open.  Since I had not agreed to any further charges, I asked how much this was going to cost.  The locksmith told me $50, so I told him to continue replacing the lock.  So now I'm looking at $50 plus $29 for the service call.  When he finished, he wrote up a bill for $214!!!  It included $29 and $50, plus $115 "drilling charge" and $20 labor.  My neighbor had asked about the cost and he had also told her $50.  I told the locksmith I would pay $100 although I owed $79.  I refused to pay the additional exorbitant charges and he removed my doorknob, leaving a hole in my door, and called the police!  When the police came, they said I had to pay him or he could swear out a warrant for my arrest for "theft of services".  I told the policeman to take me to jail because I refused to be ripped off.  Because I absolutely would not pay more, the locksmith agreed to replace the doorknob and I paid him $100.  How many people do they rip off like this every day?
