Claim this spot › How the scores work
Rating is each business’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated it, ranked against the others on the page. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.7 from hundreds of people carries more weight than a 5.0 from a handful. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews.
What changes a locksmith’s price
A house lockout, a rekey, a safe opening and a programmed car key fob are priced very differently, and the car’s make, the time of day and the distance the van travels all move the total.
