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?

Scottsdale 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.

Arizona Locksmith Business Based on Karma

This Locksmith went on vacation to California.   Upon this vacation, the locksmith stopped and asked local police officers who were strolling the beach “Where was the best local resteraunt for breakfast?”  That started the conversation. Then by way of small talk came out the differences and politics of the neighboring states of Califoronia and Arizona and the nature of a locksmith business.  When I told the officer that I was running an ethical locksmith business he smiled and jokingly asked “So are ya making any money running an ethical business?”  I smiled and said “Well, yes. We are a for-profit based business and you are correct, I’d probably make a lot more price-jacking customers in emergency situations.  However, I am a believer in Karma and how it works with the universe and…I wasn’t raised like that. I just couldn’t do it. Don’t want it done to me.” 

He smiled and said “Ethical. Imagine.  Thanks for that, really. It’s nice to hear and see.”  Something made me think he found this approach a rarity. Sadly, I think it’s true.  And this little bit of  banter really made me think again about the state of our nation, the greed of decision makers in high positions and the fall out that has followed.  It’s made people edgy, suspicious and cynical.

Seems like, these days, most people automatically assume they are going to get ripped off and used when they need to hire a company to help them with something.   Heck, and especially in an emergency situation. 

So…I’m here to  attest in this little bit of cyber space that at ASAP Lock & Security, our locksmiths ARE THE GOOD GUYS!  Think Batman. Think Spiderman.  Think Wonder Woman. Think www.TheLockLady.com.  Here to save the day, protect and serve the Phoenix Valley…one lock at a time.

Best,
