The only way to describe Laszlo, the owner of Wizard Locksmiths, is a 'good, old-fashioned, con-man'! Alarm bells should start going off with how reluctant he is to give you a quote on the phone. He will come up with a multitude of reasons why this isn't possible, the only actual reason being that he wants to size you up when he sees you and try and guilt you in to accepting his outrageous prices because he has made the effort to come to you. His next trick is to tell you how difficult your locks are to replace - all nonsense. Finally he will try and gouge you as much as he can, without laughing, for the price of the locks which are pretty much the cheapest things you can find on the market. One colleague who used him told me he added a 100% mark up on the price of a lock. He tried 60% with us. Just outrageous! I have no problem with someone adding a bit of a premium to parts, but 60-100% is just ridiculous. He did not wear a mask on our call out, nor on others I have heard about and he made no effort to clean up after himself when he was done. To add insult to injury, he then tries to convince you to write a positive review for him. I believe this is where any positive reviews he gets come from, as he looms over you pretty much until you tell him firmly, "no!" or you write the review. Just stay away!!
