Message for the caller:
Hi Keiko, this is Pineleigh Lock and Key. Your total for the lockout on the Tucson is $190.00, which includes the service call, travel, the after hours surcharge, and opening the car. Our tech Kai Eaton can be there in about 35 minutes. We take cash or card, and card is done on the spot through the reader on our van. Kai will ask to see ID that matches the vehicle registration.
Note: this quote covers opening the car only. If the lock turns out to be damaged or needs different work, Kai will tell you the new price before he starts anything extra.
Questions for the owner
- Do you want to add a line about what happens if the caller needs a spare key cut? You gave no price for that, so it is not in the quote.
- Should the message mention a cancellation policy? None was given.
