Fradulent scam

Fradulent scam. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! Massively overcharged by this scam company for an 'Astra' branded lock during an emergency. Charged £800 for a simple euro cylindar lock replacment. Putting this on here in the hope that it helps someone else. If you search for Astra locks online you see that this is a common scam. Don't fall for it, and if you do please please report these f*£k$rs to trading standards becuase it's happening to other people too, the more people that report them the better.

Rip off call out

My daughter got locked out and called these people. When they came they told her that it wasn't a simple job and lock had to be drilled etc. She told them she wanted the cheapest job possible as she lives alone on a budget. In the end she rang me in tears saying the man was demanding £742 + VAT = £890.40. When I saw the invoice it was broken down as 1) emergency locksmith to open door by drill £1892) New front security system with 5 keys £3653) Labour to fit £994) Emergency weekend visit fee £89It took longer to pay him than the work done!! Absolute rip off. I shall be reporting to Trading Standards and Action Fraud.

Total rip off

Total rip off - do not use this company. Charged over £900 to change and locking mechanism and lock and then when questioned told that it’s because genuine parts of been used. The guy doing the repair had to send a message on a WhatsApp group in order to get a price.

Absolute rip off

Absolute rip off, trading on people's misery. Quoted £49 on the phone for call out and simple entry. Arrived and had the lock drilled out and door open in less than three minutes and then charged me £141 on top for the drilling. Then he adds VAT - total bill £228. Expected to pay up to £75 but this is daylight robbery. Licensed bandits. If you find yourself locked out or in an emergency, take a deep breath and check reviews before booking. These people have a bad reputation. I should have checked. Do not use them.
