What Goes Into a Service Call Charge?

When customers require a Service Call for a Professional Locksmith, they want to know they are receiving the best possible work at a fair price. Preparing and equipping a knowledgeable, professional locksmith to meet anticipated problems involves more than just the time on the job or the complexity of work to be done. Some of the expenses that must be met getting the locksmith to your door ready to do the job are listed below:

Vehicle cost, insurance, maintenance and operation.
Locks, keys and spare parts stocked in the vehicle and in the shop.
Hand tools and special equipment, such as key cutting machines and lock installation tools.
Travel time to and from the job.
Special training courses and advertising.
Office employees, office equipment and supplies, utilities, computer software and employee benefits.
Liability insurance, Workmen’s Compensation, state and federal taxes, social security and licenses.
Service technician’s salary.

Providing competent, consistent and timely service to homes, offices and industrial facilities requires a trained technician, transportation, knowledgeable management and considerable financial investment. Charges made must not only cover the time the locksmith spends on the job, but must take into consideration these additional investments of time and money.

All service providers charge a service call. Many contractors give you a flat charge with no breakdown so you don’t always know what you are paying for.
