Locksmith Scam Warning for Escondido Residents
Unfortunately, the locksmith industry attracts scam operators — especially in online search results. These unlicensed operators advertise impossibly low prices like "$15 locksmith service," then show up and charge $200-$400 or more. Some aren't even locksmiths at all and may damage your property. Before hiring any locksmith in Escondido, always ask for their California locksmith license number (ours is LCO7479), get a written estimate before work begins, and verify they arrive in a marked vehicle with proper identification.
