Beau Locksmith Pros

Benjamin Robinson

Beau Locksmith Pros operates with unethical business practices. When calling to set up an appointment with the locksmith regarding my malfunctioning bike lock, there was no mention of price range. I found this to be strange. I ultimately decided to meet the locksmith at my bike's location anyway due to the urgency of the situation. He tells me that the cost of simply breaking the lock will be $200 which includes a $30 fee just for showing up. I tell him that the price is too steep, and he agrees to sell his services for $175. During his unsuccessful attempt at trying to cut the lock with bolt cutters, the key for my previously malfunctioning bike lock finally works -- my bike is freed. I thank the locksmith for his troubles and tell him that I won't be paying the full price because I fixed the lock myself. The man becomes irate and I begin to feel intimidated. He is much larger than me and it's starting to get dark. He demands that I pay the $175 for his inconsequential five minutes of work. I reluctantly pay him to avoid any potential trouble. I would have gladly paid him $30 for showing up, but there is absolutely no reason why I should have had to pay full price for an issue I solved myself. I recommend avoiding Beau Locksmith Pros at all cost.
