            May 8 2023 had Columbus Elite come and change my locks. Charged $425. Changed two deadbolts and two knobs. Made it so lock pad doesn’t work with key. I have two different sets of keys. The two knobs stick and don’t always work. Didn’t finish job and left off deadbolt plate on one door and another deadbolt doesn’t even lock all the way. Had another locksmith come to look at the job and he stated I was way over charged and this was a botched job. Knobs and deadbolts are the cheapest they make and break easily. I want a refund for a horrible job.

            This place is NOT legit! They just recently changed the address from 1091 Irongate Ln Cols, OH 43213 saying it was for mailing purposes only and the name from Car Key Locksmith Columbus, to Columbus Elite Locksmith at 175 S 3rd St, Columbus, OH 43215. I called the number listed on the internet many times and no one ever answered except one time, then shortly I would receive a text message from someone asking if they could help me. I told them what I was trying to do and they sounded very convincing that they had what I needed, quoted me a price and told me to reach out to them sometime after 12pm. I decide go to the first address that was showing up on the internet only to discover it was an apartment complex. When I called some guy answered the phone and as I questioned him looking about the so called Car Key Locksmith van sitting in the parking lot that's when he said it was for mailing purposes only. I reached out to him that Saturday as asked, I called several times, I texted several times and he NEVER! replied back to me. I come to work the following Monday and saw the name and the address had been changed on the internet. THEY ARE NOT TO BE TRUSTED!
