I needed a new key for my car. I called on the weekend to get a price from Alpine Lock and Safe, I was told the price would be $`145. The next day on Monday I remembered I had road side service through my cell phone and it included $50 for a new lost or stolen key. So I called the the road side service and they happen to call Alpine Lock and safe to come, SAME COMPANY, but now their price was $185. So I called to see why and some lady told me the tech gave me the wrong price he didn't know it was a chip key-LIE! and she would not change her price. I've now waited an hour and need to get to work so I let them do their job. I then called three other lockmiths in the area ALL their prices were between $135-$145 for a CHIP key. I called Alpine Lock and Safe and told them I called my road side service to complain and that I knew I was being lied to, she said fine. I hate when business' raise their prices because you have INS. So I basically saved NO money by having road side assistance.
