"Discount" Locksmith or Prokeys, not sure how many names they have..is a business set up to give clients wrong estimates for their services, leaving people with no choice but to pay the locksmith more than twice than the estimated price.
For example:
How much will cost me to unluck my SUV? Around 59 dollars, little more or less...
Actual Amount 130.00 dollars after service has been delivered in less than 2 minutes.
The locksmith wasnt surprized to see our reaction to the bill, Im sure he goes through this every time he gets a customer, but once he delivered the service what can you do? Calling back the company was a waste of time, they say it was just an estimated, but the thruth is that 59 was only for the service call to dispatch the locksmith.
There are several complaints about this company and the very same issue, however, they are still on business
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I used to work for the company. The techs are part of the problem but not all of it. A majority of the issues come from the owner. He is the reason i left. He tells you to lie to customers and yells at you if you dont. He says if they pay via credit card the bill should automatically be 20% more than cash. He is a scam artist among scam artists. Although the main office is unlisted its located on Central Ave between 52nd and 54th. Its on the East side of central and consists of 2 Trailers on a stone lot with a 6ft fence around it. The owner of the company is Peter and his cell is [protected] and [protected]
I agree because I worked for this company too but Peter is not the owner he is the puppet that gets things done for the actual owners whom are Israeli just like the other scammers that come from out of state. Peter is the front, I know this because he introduced me to one of the owners with the very thick accent. Total Scam, many people getting paid from these Scammers and they are all from a different country, money that doesn't get claimed nor do taxes get paid on it that's why they want cash. SCAMMERS STAY FAR AWAY!

1. I endured a very negative cleaning experience from a company misrepresenting themselves as Stanley Steemer. This company has been using a technique to redirect internet traffic. When a customer googles san diego carpet cleaning or similar, a well known carpet cleaning company shows up on the first page. The phone number associated with the well known company listed on the Google map is "somehow" replaced by a phone number owned by, Fresh and Green Carpet Cleaners owned by Sky Services Yaniv Cohen, 852 Reed Ave #1 San Diego Ca 92109. On 3-2-12, I called [protected], the company answered "Carpet Cleaning"(no name). I asked the name and they said "where did you see our ad?" I said under "Stanley Steemer" they said yes they were "Stanley Steemer"and made the appointment. After Coming to my home in a truck labeled fresh and green, I questioned the company's name again. I was told they were "Stanley Steemer " and I agreed to have the work done. My receipt was printed with Sky Services and Fresh and Green. I later found out this is a piggyback type scam. I spoke with someone calling himself the owner Yaniv (Yanni or Yani) Cohen. This covers part 1 of the scam. Redirecting intent traffic by hijacking Google search phone numbers and replacing them for short periods of time. After being taken advantage of in this way, I decided to investigate this company. Michael J Conway Owner of 852 REED AVE apt 1 SAN DIEGO CA 92109 Knowingly rents to Scam Companies in San Diego Pacific Beach .I found a ring of Israeli Operated companies that love feeding on your tears.

2. The scams involve "Bait and Switch" Once you make the appointment, you are encouraged to move your furniture. The Carpet Cleaner arrives and promptly informs you that your carpet is so filthy that the normal cleaning won't work. The "cleaner" knows you've moved the furniture and have possibly taken off from work. He knows you are eager to get the carpet cleaned. The 49.00 deal goes up 100% while the guy bluffs, that he's going to leave. Our elderly are especially vulnerable to this scam.
3. It's not green or anti allergy . They use the same carpet solution you buy at Home Depot.
4. Fresh and Green and their fraudulent friends have NO repeat business .So many people have left Bad feedback and Negative reviews, they have no recourse but to hide behind Valupak, Groupon, Amazon Local Deals and Living Social.
5. The truth is, is that this is a well thought out business model, an extortion scheme to be avoided. The main feature is preying on you at your weakest moment. The same scam is done with Locksmiths, they promise 19.00. They know you are locked out and vulnerable suddenly the price becomes 200.00-300.00 or more for 5 minutes work. This tactic takes full advantage of the elderly, women or anyone locked out of their cars and homes in the dark. The scary part is these people are NOT licensed, they can easily come back and open the door when your not home. Air Duct Cleaning: No matter what the condition of you air ducts are, these companies will declare them filthy and the cause of your illnesses. This is a total scam taking advantage of ill people, desperate to feel better.They often go so far as to recommend complete Air and Heating system replacements and or "Chemical Treatments". Orogold ORO Gold: once again, taking advantage of women looking for a magic wrinkle cream, they extract large sums of money from the vulnerable. Moving Companies: When you're moving your worldly goods across town or across the country, you're most vulnerable. With this type of business you will find your estimate will quadruple. Contracting Contractors Home Repair Remodelers Handyman: When you trust someone to tear your house apart and put it back together again you're extremely vulnerable. This type of company will take full advantage and in all cases the price swiftly rises as new "problems" are discovered. These parasites know you can't just get another contractor at the blink of an eye. Towing: Same old scam. Your car has broken down, you're vulnerable. It's probably at night. This is were this type of business flourishes. Water Damage: Water Damage is another popular business with them. It's an emergency and they happily take advantage of you at your worst moments. Bed Bug: Another Repeat…They say you have bed bugs even if you don't and they "treat" and get paid! SEO Search Engine Optimization: They use illegal methods to move traffic to your website . I know of a "google phone number switch " they also piggyback on an existing website or redirect traffic from a legitimate website to their site. I tried reporting this activity to google but they was no way to report it. Lottery Scam, pretending to be a Nigerian Scam: This scam convinces people they've won the lottery and need to pay taxes, guess who collects the taxes?. Subway Scam (Tube shekel scammer) This scam has a guy pretending to be poor, homeless etc. asking unsuspecting people for help. It's just another Israeli scam, it's not an isolated incident it's a con artist business model and it fits perfectly with the homeless problem in many urban areas.

i used this company called discount locksmith and the service was very good and the price was the same price the quoted on the phone
i used this company and the service was very good and the price fair
Agree with other posted that this business is a scam. Quoted $180 for a services. It was a good price, so I asked if there would be any additional fees. I was was told no. However, once they completed the services, they billed me for $432. I am disputing the charge with my credit card company now.
