********* pricing.

I asked them to come out and fix a lock on a door. The guy came out and drilled out the lock. Replaced it with a new one and charged me R1840 for the job. R495 for the call out. R795 for labour. It took him 17 minutes. I checked. So they basically charge R1290 without material, but most people assume that the call out is included in the labour if you accept the job. No. It is a ***** way to still make money out of you if their quote is too expensive. Beware. Then R550 for a Mortise door lock which costs around R80 at Builders. The guy on the phone led me to believe it would be between If you think that is reasonable and that this owner isn't ********, by all means, make use of his services. Otherwise, check Facebook as I will be spreading this as far and wide as I can so that other people don't get done in by ************ call out fee characters. Remember the worst 4x4xfar campaign. Watch this.
