Written Down First

The figure is entered on the work order before the van leaves. Four parts, each one in writing.

One figure, written down on the call. The visit, the labor and the parts are combined into a single number while you describe the door. The $89 service call is already inside it. That number is entered on the work order and it is the number the card is charged.
A name and a thirty-minute window, by text, before the van leaves. You receive the technician's name and a thirty-minute arrival window by text before the van pulls out. If a stalled lane on 101 or the climb above Highway 92 shifts the window, a second text says so rather than leaving you to guess.
Opened without damage first, drilled only after you agree. Picking, decoding and bypass tools come out first, and the lock usually keeps working afterwards. If the cylinder will not give, the technician explains why, names the replacement part, and drills only after you say yes. The figure on the work order does not move.
Card or tap at the door, an itemized receipt that matches the work order. Pay by card or tap once the door closes properly. The itemized receipt reaches your email and matches the work order line for line. A written line describing the work is available for a landlord, an HOA or an insurer if you need one.

Not sure which one you need?

Describe the problem on the call. The price gets named either way.
