How the scorecards work

Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated the business. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.7 from many reviewers carries more weight than the same score from a few. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews.

What affects the cost of a locksmith in Albuquerque?

Price depends on the job and the hour. A duplicate key, a car lockout, a full rekey and a safe opening are different jobs, and a call-out at night or on a weekend can cost more than one in business hours. Reviewers on this page mention everything from a few dollars for a simple key to larger rekey and lock projects, so ask each company to quote the specific job.
