Why Locksmith Prices in Farmington Are Never One Number

Four things change locksmith prices in Farmington, NM: what time it is, how far someone has to drive, what kind of lock you have, and — for car keys — the year and model of your vehicle.

  • Time of day — after-hours costs more
  • Distance — Shiprock and rural addresses cost more
  • Lock type — deadbolts, high-security locks, and smart locks take longer
  • Vehicle year and model — the biggest factor for car keys

Anyone who quotes you $19 over the phone is not going to charge you $19 at your door. That’s the oldest trick in this trade.

After-Hours and Weekend Calls

Night, weekend, and holiday calls usually come with a $25 to $75 extra service fee — that’s normal. What’s not normal is one price on the phone and a different one at your door. Ask about the after-hours rate before anyone is dispatched.

How to Avoid Being Overcharged

  • Ask for the total range, not just the “service call fee”
  • Ask what’s included in that price
  • Pay by card, not cash or check
  • The vehicle should have a company name on it
  • Confirm the price before any work starts

If a locksmith won’t give you a range on the phone, call someone else. There are enough people working this area that you don’t have to accept a vague answer.
