The way to instantly tell if your locksmith is only there to mooch some money off of you is if they diagnose a ton of problems with your gear or property way too fast without properly inspecting it in your presence. They are likely banking on the fact that you aren’t knowledgeable about what has to be inspected in the first place and you’re willing to blindly trust their decision. Always ensure that you are in the room or area while they inspect whatever is wrong with your remote, key, or vehicle. Record everything that is said and ensure that any promises made is well documented.
It’s easy to panic and make rash decisions when you’re in a rush or you’re panicking. However, always be mindful of your surroundings and the people you’re planning to transact with. The best way to prevent further damage is to contact a trusted friend or family member that has prior experience to speaking with a locksmith. This way, you’ll avoid getting scammed or receiving the services of someone underqualified, leading to further damage to your property.
