Dallas Locksmith Companies Lost

April 25th, 2011

Dallas Locksmith Companies Lost, Why? Because they aren’t willing to use the most recent marketing tools such as social media and others. Dallas locksmith businesses aren’t keeping up with the recent ideas and tools out on the market of marketing so we are beginning  to see a slight fade of the particular field. The question, have they faded off so far that legitimate won’t be any competition in the near future? Or have they just given up and are letting the scam artists or illegitimate businesses come in and take of the DFW?

Dallas locksmith companies are fading out, you don’t see a lot relevant or licensed ones these days. Most have faded out and are completely dead. There are a few that have survived the economic downfall but that really isn’t the problem, some are owned by people that aren’t willing to research and use the recent marketing tools. And some of these Dallas locksmith organizations aren’t willing to fight to survive.

Survival of the fittest is a term that we hear a lot in the business world, it still applies to trades like locksmiths. The funny thing is that most locksmiths around the country aren’t being out done by other licensed companies but instead being pushed out by illegal businesses. Basically the people of the United States are being scammed by scam artists and legitimate companies are being killed.

My question is, when are we going to fight back and stop these crooks? If you think about it we have the power, we are the ones that are keeping the scams alive so we have the same potential to destroy them. So what I’m trying to communicate to ya’ll is that we need to do a better job in protecting our local businesses. Dallas locksmith companies need to stay alive the real ones not those scam artists that we’ve let overrun our city.

So next time you have a problem and locksmith problem make sure you call a real company and not one that will send an illegal immigrant to your home or car to try and fix the problem.

April 13th, 2011

Locksmith Dallas Businesses Ruined! Why is this happening? Well because some outside illegal groups are coming in and spamming the area pushing out everyone else that gets int their way. This means all your local businesses are being ruined by illegal companies that have set up shops secretly on both the West and East coasts.

Have you ever noticed why there are 800#’s on a lot of the Google Places listings? Well those aren’t any local shops but instead scam artists who hire illegal immigrants to do there work. That means if you call that number you are at a potential rist of getting an illegal immigrant with a criminal history that goes far beyond just getting into the country.

These scams organizations are taking out company by company not allowing any locksmith dallas place to withstand their terror. Our locksmith Dallas stores are being ruined because its hard to compete with scam artists that have unlimited funds because they are doing this in every state and most cities. Their funds are limitless because normal people that don’t know any better buy into there words but those same people at the end of the day pay a lot more than they would with there local locksmith Dallas business.

With all that said, we need to help those legal, brick and mortar businesses stay afloat! Its not to hard just when making a decision on getting a local locksmith dallas company to do your work , make sure that they don’t have an 800# and that they actually have a store that you can walk in.

Dallas Locksmith and What to Look For

April 6th, 2011

Dallas locksmith companies are everywhere in the DFW area, but there are only a few that exist that are real and relevant to the communities needs. A-1 Dallas locksmith provides you with the knowledge and questions when dealing with these local businesses.

 

When trying to hire a local Dallas locksmith it is good to ask a lot of questions, but not just ask questions but also get proof of the answers. Any one can say anything but it all comes down to paper, the proof of the existence of the question asked.

 

Questions to ask your local Dallas locksmith:

 

  • Are you licensed and can you show proof of it?

You never want to just assume what someone is telling is true that more times than none end up hurting you at the end of the day, so always make sure the company is willing to show you proof of existence before letting them have your money.

 

  • Ask for any additional charges or fees than the ones stated on the ads?

You will see in business and almost every field that you try and buy from that there are always hidden fees and most times they are very large amount. So always be careful when reading ads and always ask about them in detail when calling the organization.

 

  • Ask how long it is before they actually will get to your situation?

A lot of times businesses will give you a time that isn’t accurate. They will say 15 minutes or something to that but that isn’t the actual time that they will get to you. It is a lot of the time the process of getting you in the system, so it might take 15 minutes to get you in the system and another 15-20 minutes to get to you. So always make sure you ask them what the time is going to be when getting to you specifically.

 

Remember to always ask questions when it comes to hiring your Dallas locksmith or it can end up biting you at the end of the day.

Their isn’t room for any leeway when concerning this subject. If you just move a little in them you can change the whole dynamic to your company.

A lot of businesses in the DFW have grey areas, they allow them because it allows them to do things that don’t go with ethics. Of course the public doesn’t know about them because they try their best to keep them hidden but they remain under the surface.

Dallas Locksmith VS The World!

March 1st, 2011

Dallas Locksmith VS The World!

Who is your Dallas locksmith and where are they from?

 

These are all questions that are asked by most of us. We sometimes don’t verbalize them but they are deep in our thoughts when thinking about such things because we are a curious people. Dallas locksmith companies are everywhere in the DFW and some of them are similar but a lot vary from each other a lot.

 

Who is your Dallas Locksmith?

 

Well that is a very interesting question, but is something that you need to ask yourself, I have. If you think about it you might wonder why do I even need to think about such things. Well you will be glad when you are stuck outside in the rain not know who to call.

But what do you really want in your local Dallas locksmith? Do you want someone with:

  • Integrity
  • Skill
  • Licensed
  • Professional

 

Or would you rather have someone that is:

  • Not licensed
  • Unprofessional
  • Scam Artist
  • Illegal Immigrant

 

Its  really just up to you and what you care about, I personally want someone with integrity and someone that is licensed.

 

After I figured out what I wanted in a Dallas locksmith I asked myself, where do they come from?

 

I mean are they from a different city that is just planting their business here or are they actually home grown here in the DFW? Well I didn’t have to go far to find a home grown one with A-1 Dallas Locksmiths, they’ve been here since 1949.

I like to know that the ones I turn to have been here for a long time, know the cities values, and just know their way around this large great city. I also know that a business that has lasted since 1949 is worth there weight and gold, I’m sure each year holds it’s own challenges but in the end it seems for the past 60 years A-1 Dallas locksmiths has won.

Dallas Locksmith Believes Less Is More

February 22nd, 2011

Dallas locksmith A-1 believes that less is always more. They know that spending money is a necessity, but to what extent? How much should we really spend on these kinds of needs? And when should we say no? All very legitimate questions and most of us don’t know what to say to answer them. But A-1 Dallas locksmith will help you to make sure what you spend is fair to what you get in return.

With so many new technologies out we tend to think that we can’t get it because it will be so expensive. But that isn’t true, in fact they are more available to you than anyone else because Dallas locksmith wants to make sure you the DFW community is taken care of before anyone else and if that means we have to lower our prices at an extreme we will because we want the DFW to be taken care of.

Less is more when you aren’t spending hundreds of dollars on a transponder key that you local car dealership marked up by over 300%. Or how about when you only pay $65 for an unlock instead of $235 which a lot of illegal companies charge you and since your in a sticky situation you are forced to pay it.

Speaking of scams Dallas locksmith A-1 will always keep you aware of the latest ones corrupting the DFW. Unlike real companies these illegal businesses create a since of stability with their silly advertising and marketing. But what they really do is steal your money by over charging you hundreds of dollars and instilling fear into you so that you feel compelled to pay them the price that they choose to give you at that given time. Their aren’t any ethics connected to them in anyway and feel like as long as they are making money they are fine no matter how they get it.

Dallas Locksmith 800# Is A Fraud!

February 17th, 2011

There are a ton of Dallas locksmith companies through the DFW and sometimes it can be a little overwhelming.


It is also really hard to trust because of the vast number of illegal businesses out there.  You never know if your serviceman or woman is in the US legally or illegally and if they are even qualified to do the job you are hiring them for. It can be very stressful choosing a valid locksmith and many times the outcome can be unpredictable.


Dallas locksmith businesses are very prevalent in the DFW and we have found that all the ILLEGAL ones are using800#’s. Yes when you see them on Google Places or any other site that it is using 800 numbers you know now to BEWARE of such sites.


Tell Tale Signs of Scamming Locksmith:

  • No Better Business Bureau Listing on their site
  • Shows 800, 888, or 866 as the primary number to call
  • Lists other states and cities outside Dallas and Fort Worth
  • Domain names do not match with locksmith business, for example thepiratesofthemississippi.com

Don’t Get Baited by a Cheap Price

The most common scam websites for Dallas locksmith companies you will find are promoting extremely cheap unlock services. For example, these people will talk about how you can get your car open for only $10 – $15 or rekey your house for $20.

When you think about it that is an unrealistic price considering all the overhead that needs to be covered to stay in business. Think of it this way, on each job the business owner has to cover:

  • Maintenance on the vehicle he/she drives
  • Pay a licensed professional locksmith
  • Pay for the gas and auto insurance
  • Pay for liability insurance for property
  • State licensing fees
  • Tools and hardware

After covering all the costs listed above they still have to try and cover a profit.  In the end, no company big or small can cover their at a $10 to $20 price point.

Your best bet in finding a real and genuine Dallas locksmith that is not over priced who will do the work correctly.  You can never be to careful when it comes to things like that; you just don’t any one coming to your vehicle or home. So make sure you stay safe!
