(Construction.IndustryNews247.Com, August 15, 2014 ) Sacramento, CA -- CRS Locksmith is one of the top-rated mobile locksmiths in the Sacramento area. They are reaching out to warn people about various locksmith scams. The Sacramento locksmith endorses important business and safety tips printed by the Associated Locksmiths of America (ALOA).
According to the Sacramento locksmith people calling for emergency locksmith service are typically quite vulnerable; therefore, an honest and dependable service provider is most valuable. Unfortunately, there are some unscrupulous locksmiths who will take unfair advantage of their clients through intimidation or bait and switch practices to result in a higher price once they arrive and evaluate the situation.
CRS Locksmith Sacramento also advises consumers that not all locksmiths are professional. An unqualified locksmith might use techniques that cause undue damage to a client’s vehicle or home. Since most people calling are not experts in the field, they cannot identify whether the locksmith they hired is using professional lock picking techniques or simply faking their way through the job at the client’s expense.
Following is an overview of some safety tips provided by the ALOA (Associated Locksmiths of America:
1. Verify their License. In the state of California, locksmiths are required to be licensed. Therefore, CRS Locksmith (http://crslocksmithservices.com/residential) suggests that clients ask to see a locksmith’s license.
2. Find a Locksmith Company in Advance. The Sacramento locksmith agrees that most people do not realize potential need of a locksmith until the actual need arises so he advises searching out a professional, reputable locksmith in advance while the mind is clear versus a time when the situation requires calling for emergency locksmith service.
3. Get a Quote before Work Begins. The Sacramento locksmith suggests confirming the price in writing before having the home or car locksmith do any service work. Otherwise, a client loses their negotiation power.
4. Read the Fine Print on the Receipt. CRS Locksmiths emphatically support the ALOA’s suggestion of getting a receipt in advance of the work being done and reading the fine print on that receipt. They suggest making sure that signed locksmith work agreements include information about terms, service guarantees, and what happens in the event of property damage resulting from the work.
5. Use Credit Cards—Not Cash. Though the Sacramento locksmith likes cash payments as much as any other service provider they endorse the ALOA’s position on the safety issues surrounding cash. They warn that a reputable locksmith company will be able to accept credit cards. A locksmith company that can only accept cash might not a legitimate operation.
The ALOA is a non-profit organization providing standards for businesses in the locksmith related service industry. They help legitimate businesses separate themselves from the frauds or those run by unqualified providers. They realize that this ultimately helps the consumer, who does not always have the experience to defend himself.
