Locksmith Help
Hi,
Can somebody out there please help?
My bag was stolen on Friday night in a restaurant in La Mata. I had my house keys in it. I needed to call a locksmith. I got this number from Torrevieja Locksmith and a man came at 2.30am. He removed 2 locks and installed 2 new ones. He is charging me €425.00 which at the time I couldn't pay and still can't pay as 1. I'm disputing it. 2) I can't get access to the bank until Tuesday and he's says he's coming to my house ......
I need a locksmith who can verify if that is the actual price and I'm being stupid or he thinks I'm stupid and is robbing me too! I went to the ferreteria and got the prices of the key cylinders and cover. I know he has to mark up his prices, but he's charging me €80.00 + €90.00 for each of these and the 3 in total come to just over €60.00.
His argument is I gave him my word that I would pay and that nobody would have helped me. I have to admit I was in a terrible state of shock at the time as I had just come from the Guardia Civil in Torrevieja and was treated appaulingly. Horrible experience.
