When there is an emergency and you need an emergency locksmith it is only normal to look for a national call centre locksmith – but is that really the best option? Should you be searching for a local locksmith that can help you?
Perhaps you have got home from a long day at work and found that you can’t find your house keys and you have no way of getting in your home? Maybe you have just got back from a wonderful holiday, but you return to find your home has broken into.
At awful times like this, you need the help of a 24-hour locksmith. In this blog post, we explain why an independent local Cambridge locksmith will be a lot better than a national call centre locksmith at your time of emergency and need.
Independent Local Locksmiths
- It may sound obvious, but the biggest benefit of a local locksmith is that they are local. This means they will be able to offer a much quicker response time to rescue you. Due to less travel time, and the fact they will be from a smaller company, they will have lower overheads and be able to provide a cost-effective service.
- You’ll also find that your local locksmith provides a more honest service because they are really part of the business. When a local emergency locksmith comes to your rescue, they are representing themselves, so they will provide an honest service.
- Local locksmiths like Cathedral Locksmiths will always be available, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week because it is their business. These locksmiths genuinely care about you, their business and their reputation.
National Call Centre Locksmith
- The issue with a call centre locksmith is that while they may have emergency locksmith available, they may not be 24-hour locksmiths. You will often find there is not an emergency locksmith available in your area which means you’ll be waiting a while. They will also be more expensive as they have higher overheads, and a team of call centre staff to pay.
- Unfortunately, when you deal with call centres, you often get a poor level of service and minimal knowledge too. Unlike when you call a local 24-hour locksmith you may get the advice of things you can do in the meantime, a call centre won’t have that knowledge or expertise, they’ll just send a locksmith to your home.
