In Crowley La crook

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I needed two keys programmed for my car, so I called Kevin from Crowley, Louisiana, and he came over. His machine didn't want to work, but instead of refunding me the $275 I paid, he took off with my money and never returned as promised. I really wish there were something I could do because this is wrong on every level.

Got cussed out by guy who was supposed to provide roadside assistance

The guy took far longer than his estimate. When I called him to ask what the deal was, he proceeded to cuss me out and then cancel the roadside assistance I put in through my insurance.

I was never rude to this guy. This was completely unacceptable.

Cons:
  • Extremely rude
  • Promises fast times then proceeds to never show up

Hidden Charges

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

The lock on my fence gate broke, so I called the Pop A Lock located in Clearwater, Florida to come down on February 12th at 9 AM to replace the lock. The technician showed up around 4 PM on February 11th instead, and said he had to get the correct parts but could fix it then, but I told him to stick to the appointment.

He gave me 2 choices in locks, so I picked the Puck Lock which seem more secure after he explained both choices to me.

He said he would be down on February 12th at 10:30 AM instead, but did not show up until 12:30 PM with the lock, but had gotten the wrong size screws so had to return to the store. After he installed the lock, he told me that the door had to be perfectly lined up for the lock to work, and had a difficult time himself showing me how it works. He also promised me a receipt, which I never received. I called his office several days later and finally received the receipt, with hidden charges.

When I made my appointment and asked for the cost, I was not told that I would be charged an extra $128 for truck charges. That seems like fraud to me, so I reported it to the appropriate Government Agencies to take further action.

Broken back door lock.

Called out Pop A Lock. Came when he said he would.

He was faced with a very old broken back door lock. Did a brilliant job.

Big 'Thank you' Steve Horry for fixing our problem. Ten out of ten.

Bloomfield New Jersey Pop A Lock is a SCAM!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Joe from Pop A Lock in Bloomfield NJ endangered my life tonight, lied to me over and over and over through the course of 3 hours and mocked my desperate situation. It all began today when I got a flat tire on a highway in Linden NJ at about 3:30.

Geico Insurance company's roadside assistance called pop a lock and assured me that someone would be there in 45 minutes. When nobody showed up in an hour I called Geico and apparently a "Geico representative" mistakenly entered my policy number for my phone number so Pop a lock couldnt get in touch with me. Although I gave Pop a lock a pass for Geico's mistake, they had my location and still could have shown up. When Geico realized their mistake they once again called Pop A Lock and I was once again told 45 minutes.

It was raining, starting to get dark and I was on the shoulder of a busy highway. When they didn't show in an hour, I called Pop A Lock, and Joe from Bloomfield said his driver will be there in 10 minutes. After 40 minutes passed I called again and Joe said he'll be there "soon". I told Joe I was getting afraid being stranded on the highway in the rain and dark and he said, "Well have a great night then." Finally Jose the driver called me and said he would be to me in 10 minutes.

After 1/2 an hour and he didnt show I called Pop a lock in Bloomfield and they lied and said they were in Texas and couldnt help me. Then I called Jose's cell and he told me he was told by his dispatcher that my location was too dangerous and to not come help me. He said he figured they would have told me that. Nobody from Pop A Lock called to tell me that they were leaving me stranded, and after 3 hours of pure BS from Pop A Lock I gave up.

Lies, scam and FRAUD!

I called George's Gulf .... he showed up in 15 minutes and changed my tire on the spot in 5 minutes.

So I am very thankful for not charging me for the emergency thanks so much really! Happy Love Love

The worst

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Quoted an eta of 30-45 mins , after which time we called back to be informed our request was not responded to which we were informed meant “the company out reached must not be working” .. and they would send another message for a response ....

we waited an hour from our original request ... with no response to our request one expects some alert to inform the customer of unavailability... we were never alerted /informed .... with our second call back we did not receive an apology for no response nor any guidance .....

AWFUL WHEN YOU’RE STRANDED AND LOCKED OUT!... DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY !

Scam. Horrible. Nasty.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Got locked out of our running car so we call get told the order is sent and well recieve a call soon this is around 3:00am or so. So we wait and wait then call in again quite a few times before we hear from the person whos supposed to come down but guess what "itll be another hour im in Salt Lake" god okay whatever great see you soon i guess.

Another hour goes by we call in and want to talk to a manager they day theyll figure it oit and have someone 15 minutes away. Cool. At this point its almost 5 am. Then we call in to another manger and SHE HUNG UP.

Best part is that they then told us they dont have anyone to come down to our area anyways. We ended up calling AAA here in less than 15 minutes door was open in 2.

Very wonderful and pleasnt guy. The "Tech" we were dealing with also sounded drunk, stumpling on his words and hung up so many times.

Left Walmart and a young girl was sitting on the trunk of her car. We pulled up and asked her if she was ok.

She states she was waiting on Pop a Lock.

After 4 more calls and an hour and a half later and them stating they were on their way, we called someone else. Shame on them as this young girl could have been abducted or harmed in some way!!!

Jump start

I have requested for a jump start at 450 pm. Custom rep from POP A LOCK, informed me the ETA of 540 pm.

I have waited for an hour and called around 550 and I was informed that driver is around 10 minutes away. I called at 7 pm and I was informed that driver is 40 minute away. It is worst possible customer service!!!! I am still waiting now.

I am planning to file a formal complaint in consumer court against this company. Any piece of advice will be highly appreciated.
