I do want to just mention to future clients that I was quoted a cost "range" of what it would be which I expected and was in fact the cost for the lock issue remediation. Great! ***** It was the additional "Trip Fee" of $55, that I was not told about in advance and it was not a good surprise. I would have remembered having a conversation that they would be driving from Santa Barbara to Oxnard for the service call and it would be an additional $55 Trip Fee. Although I was not told this ahead of time, when I questioned the extra fee, Jill said "I definitely told you, you must have been confused since the repair fee was also $55". I decided to let it go because it wasn't worth any arguments and I paid a total of $110. I just want others to be aware of this to be sure you are 100% clear and know if there will be any trip fee or not prior to hiring them.

UPDATE: Everyone…read moremakes mistakes and we are all faced with challenges as well as circumstances outside of our control from time to time. How one handles such situations and moves forward is perhaps the best measure of character. After a disappointing experience with Gold Coast Locksmiths, Matt reached out to me to apologize and explain circumstances on his side. I was impressed with his willingness to accept responsibility and make amends, rather than the far to common reaction of fabricating excuses. I was left with the impression that they genuinely care about their customers' experience and the results and quality of their work. I am revising my review to a positive recommendation and will use their services again.

Eric (accompanied by his adorable and well-mannered canine Assistant, Hank), paid their second visit to our home today. The first time was to discuss an extensive needs list for a good-sized property. We desired high-quality, all-new door and window hardware (handles and deadbolts) within a very particular range of types & styles throughout the house, as well as specific types of gate, shed and fence locks for pasture and side yards. It has been noted by others over the years that we have--ahem--very exacting standards. Eric was a dream to work with and didn't seem to find us at all picky! He was friendly, patient, obviously an experienced expert, with great ideas and suggestions for hardware which meshed exactly with our needs (but which we had not even known existed. Eric made careful note of our wish list, took measurements, and got back with us promptly as regards type, cost, pros and cons of various fixtures. He then got it all ordered and made an appointment for a return appointment just as soon as a delivery date by his supplier was provided. On Installation Day, to say that we were pleased is an understatement. Our new equipment is attractive, SECURE, of top-notch quality, and fits our design and color theme perfectly. Eric's pricing for locks, bolts, keys, and considerable labor was very reasonable and he took the time to get it all perfectly organized and everything just right. He even spent about 45 minutes adjusting a sliding door which was sticking/at times inoperable without charge (who does this, in this day and age?) simply because he's a conscientious person and a really nice guy. We can't recommend Smith Lock Shop and Eric Bates highly enough, and enthusiastically recommend to all. Modern superb mobile service with expertise and an old-fashioned work ethic.
