I had a call for an auto unlock, about 45 minutes away at 9:30 pm. It was POURING down rain, so I quoted almost twice of what I should have, hoping that she would find someone closer. Nope! She accepted, and pays half up front, all good. I make the drive and it's a Chevy Tahoe, but the lady is, bless her heart, about 5 feet tall. Turns out, she slipped and threw all the stuff she was carrying in the air, and could find everything except her keys. I'm about 8 minutes into the job when I stand up and.. what's this? Her keys, on top of her car?

Yeah, turns out she flung them through the air and they landed dead center on her roof. She couldn't see them. It was great, I gave her a discount and we laughed about it a lot =D

Yes! Back when I started I used to have a slogan, "I don't get paid to ask questions." When it came to ownership of per say, a car. But now-a-days I ALWAYS require drivers license, proof of insurance, and a full receipt written out. There wasn't any defining event that made me up my security, I just realized I was being a reckless little shit.

I'm a locksmith, and I'm a locksmith. =)

Out of all the locksmith YouTubers, I could consider him the most professional and honest. His sense of humor is great and his explanation on things is on point.

However... I do NOT like his website. Hos merchandise is fantadtic, but selling specialized tools that are regulated in some states without checking for a license at all does not sit well with me.

That's a formality, I tend to ask for paperwork or proof of rights-to-use if applicable but in most cases, I'll take the job, as it's better I get paid than someone else. Because, trust me, someone else will cut that key.
