Common complaints are a low phone quote that grows on arrival and a push to drill the lock right away.

Checking a locksmith in Michigan
No permit is involved in a lockout. Watch for warning signs: a caller who will not give a business name, a quote that grows on arrival, an unmarked vehicle, or a push to drill a standard lock right away. If you have a problem, you can file a complaint with the Michigan Department of Attorney General.
Michigan does not list locksmiths among the occupations it licenses, so there is no state locksmith license number to look up. Instead, confirm the business name and address, check the company in the LARA business entity search (a sole proprietor may file an assumed name with the county clerk instead), ask for proof of insurance, and ask the technician for photo ID.
