Breaking the law in Mesa, AZ

This Mesa locksmith read about a motorcycle officer who attempted to pull over a vehicle in Mesa after the driver made an illegal right turn at a red light at the Mesa Drive exit off the U.S. 60 freeway.  (I know your thinking Whoops! they are gonna get a ticket)  but what happened INSTEAD was the driver instead fled the police and drove into neighborhood off Mesa Drive and Holmes Avenue.  Then all five of the occupants ran from the vehicle, a Mesa Police spokesperson told the news.

Police later located the driver and the four passengers, who were suspected of being in the country illegally.

Guess the moral of this one is…break the law…you get stopped by police.  Break the law and your illegally here in the US?  You get stopped by police and then get deported.  Hmm.  I’m thinking civil rights isn’t an issue in this case. Huh? What do you think?

Woman Escapes Locksmith Scam-Hires ASAP Instead

ASAP Lock & Security, a trusted Scottsdale locksmithservice.  Why can we say it?  Testimonials.  A woman was the victim of a locksmith scam.   She lost the keys to one of her investment homes in Scottsdale.  She looked up the first company listed on the internet,I’m not going to list their name here,  but this company advertises the claim that they come out for $25.

Be careful of locksmith companies that are solely advertising  just to get the Google rank.  The ones that have no apparent “real name” if you will.  You know, like just “Phoenix Locksmiths”  or “Scottsdale Locksmiths.”    Eeek.

Did you know, Arizona, that these types of scam companies can use criminals who show up for your service calls?  Yup.  No formal  background check licensing required in our state.

ASAP Lock & Security does NOT use criminals.  Background Check is REQUIRED to work on our team.  That is a specific ASAP Lock & Security company policy.

So…back to the story.  They go out to this woman, glance at her deadbolt and say “I’m going to have to drill it then install a new one”   Now, there are some locks now on the market where…this is a true statement.  Hers wasn’t one of them.  “Oh, and I’m going to have to charge you $200 extra to do the work.” So according to my customer, this guy shows up in an SUV, not looking very professional, no shirt displaying company name, nothing.  She SENT HIM AWAY.  (applause-applause)

Then she did a better research on the internet and found ASAP Lock & Security.

We quoted on the phone, arrived on time and opened her door in about 20 seconds.  She paid what we quoted.  This smart woman did NOT get SCAMMED.  She is an inspiration to ALL consumers.

Go with an ethical Arizona locksmith company.  Call ASAP Lock & Security.  We will always do the best thing for our customers.  We are professionals.  We are knowledgeable. We are your community locksmith company.

Dear President Obama..No One is Laughing in Arizona

Phoenix, AZ–Governor Jan Brewer sparked a renewed national focus on border security and illegal immigration when she signed SB1070.  While Brewer has been celebrated by many for taking action to enforce laws that Washington has long ignored, those who oppose the law have chosen pithy punch lines over responsible and pragmatic action. 

Far away from the border at the White House Correspondent Dinner, President Obama decided that Arizona’s unsecured borders and illegal immigration crisis are a laughing matter.  Unfortunately, no one in Arizona is laughing.  Watch the latest video on You Tube here.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLgZ1LWLlko&feature=player_embedded
This Arizona locksmith thinks his joke is in poor taste, bad judgement and well,quite frankly, I love Arizona. I vote. I’m still ticked off.  There. I said it
