A Las Vegas woman called a local locksmith for help. Now, she’s accusing them of price gouging.
At Channel 13, we fight for what’s right and wanted to know if she unfairly overcharged. We went to a local expert to find out.
OUTRAGED
“I was outraged,” Louise Puzzuoli told Channel 13.
She says she can’t believe how much she recently was charged by a local locksmith. It all started when she stepped into her garage.
“I was going to leave. I put my purse in the car, shut the door, and I heard a click,” Puzzuoli said.
Puzzuoli accidently locked her purse and car keys inside her Chevy Malibu.
So, she called a 24/7 locksmith that she found online and said someone showed up to her home within minutes. Puzzuoli said he wasn’t wearing a uniform or driving a company car.
“It was not a tow truck. It was his own vehicle,” Puzzuoli said.
She added that he opened the car in just minutes and then printed a receipt.
“I gave him the credit card and the amount was $1,010. I couldn’t believe it. I wasn’t going to argue with this young man about it,” Puzzuoli said.
