How We Turn Frustrated Lockout Clients into Lifelong Fans

From Panic to Praise: What Makes Our Clients Come Back

It starts the same every time.

A frantic call.
A locked car.
A slammed door.
A baby crying.
A grocery bag on the sidewalk.
A rising wave of stress.

We don’t just show up—we transform the moment.

At Pro On The Go Locksmith, we’ve built our entire company around this:
Turning worst-case lockouts into first-class experiences.


We Don’t Just Open Doors. We Win Hearts.

Here’s exactly how we take a frustrating lockout—and turn that person into a lifelong fan who refers us to their family, friends, and neighbors.


1. We Answer FAST—With a Human Touch

Most clients are shocked when we actually pick up on the first ring.

- No call centers.
- No confusing routing.
- Just a real local locksmith ready to help.

“I was in tears when I called. Your calm voice made me feel safe. Thank you.” —Tanya M., Brandon FL


2. We Dispatch With Purpose, Not Promises

We don’t say “30 minutes” and show up in 90.

Our live GPS dispatch system shows our real location—so you know we’re on the way, no guessing.

Average arrival time: 25 minutes or less
24/7 service, including holidays


3. We Bring Clean, Marked, Professional Service

No unmarked vans. No weird energy. No dirty tools.

Our techs are:

  • Background-checked

  • Uniformed

  • Trained to de-escalate stress

  • Fully equipped for 95% of emergencies on first visit

We arrive calm, prepared, and respectful of your space.


4. We Fix the Problem Without Making it Worse

Many “cheap” locksmiths drill the lock and disappear.

We do the opposite.

- Non-destructive unlocks (unless damage is absolutely unavoidable)
- Explain options clearly
- Upfront flat pricing before we touch anything

“The last guy left our lock worse than before. You fixed it in 5 minutes and smiled the whole time.” —Carlos D., Tampa Heights


5. We Leave a Lasting Impression (and a Magnet)

When we’re done?

- You get a receipt
- You get a spare key (if needed)
- You get our number for next time
- And yes… you get a Pro On The Go Locksmith fridge magnet

It’s small. But it’s memorable. And clients tell us they keep it for years.


Real Stories, Real Loyalty

The Stormy Night in Ybor City

A single mom locked out with her kids during a downpour.
We arrived in 18 minutes, gave the kids ponchos, unlocked the door, and left her with our emergency guide.

She's now one of our biggest referral sources.

The Hotel Room Lockout

A visiting entrepreneur lost access to her room AND rental car keys.
We coordinated with hotel staff, picked the luggage lock, made a spare key for her Tesla, and sent her a follow-up gift card.


We Turn Stress into Trust—Every Time

This isn’t a gimmick.
It’s our standard operating procedure.

From residential panic attacks to commercial emergencies, we train our entire team around one question:

“What would it take to turn this caller into our biggest fan?”

That’s what we do. Daily. Across all of Tampa.


Serving Tampa Like Family

We’ve helped clients in:

  • Brandon

  • Westshore

  • Ybor City

  • Carrollwood

  • Seminole Heights

  • Channelside

  • And more

And our 5-star reviews say the same thing:

“I’ll never use another locksmith again.”
