Dakota Lock and Safe Review:…read more Horrible experience: 1) said they would arrive between 11am-12pm--40 minutes late... no one calls to notify 2)did not indicate that i had to show proof of ownership of house before they would do any work...wasting my time as i showed up at my rental property with no proof. 3)asked for 3 locks to be rekeyed out of 4...they assumed and rekeyed the wrong one. 4)asked specifically for 9 keys...they made 4. Those are the facts, what was most disappointing is the the owner decided to recreate his own narrative and and wasnt interested in making his customer happy when i suggested that they go back and do what i asked at no further charge...put the blame on the customer and wanted nothing to do with making things right... Saying sorry means absolutely nothing unless your willing to go above and beyond , whether its giving a discount or canceling a charge etc... oh and what made it even better is that they charged me $178 and when i asked for a discount Lexx replied that she already gave a discount but when i picked up my invoice it showed full charges...so she tried to deceive me as this transaction was done over the phone....I was very angry about this... dustin the service guy thought i should just accept him being late as "it's just part of the industry" ...Lexx dropped the ball in not asking the proper questions in taking the order and then trying to deceive me but Don the owner was the most unprofessional as he had no interest in understanding or acknowledging the bad experience i had, and threatened to take me to the credit bureau if i did a charge back on my credit card...which is exactly what i did.... He clearly pushed the idea upon me that i am just one customer and since he's been doing this for 30 years that he would be fine if walked away ...well that maybe so but i will fill up all the noted review sites with this experience...everything i said is the truth and i will not use these guys again...hopefully they can improve in the future.

Words cannot express how happy I am with the quality of work and customer service brought on by…read moreDakota Lock and Safe. The entire experience was a pleasure and I will never look further if I need a locksmith again. The technicians were extremely knowledgeable and polite (even when I asked them a million questions!) I spoke to a 'Don' (I think his name was) and he took the time to explain everything thoroughly, was gracious and even did a follow up to ensure I was satisfied with the entire situation. Cannot recommend these guys any higher. If I could give 10 stars I would. Dakota Lock and Safe are Rockstars. Keep up the good work!

My first car that I owned was a Pontiac Grand Am. I loved it…read more My friend had got a remote car starter for his car installed at this Advance Electronics. When you live in Winnipeg, it's nice having a car starter when the temperature is -40°C in the winter before you factor in the windchill. I followed suit. I had no idea how to install a remote car starter. You can buy the kit and do it yourself if you are savvy. I had a knowledgeable male staffer lead me the way to the selection of car starters. Once I chose the one that suited my needs, he booked an appointment to have my car starter installed. It took a couple of hours to have it installed. I ended up dropping off my car and then waiting for it by having lunch at an eatery that is sadly gone. It had the best spaghetti pie that I have ever had. I was pleased with my car starter. The left button started my car. I could be a few blocks away and it would start without fail. It was cool and much needed when it was frigid outside. I had an outdoor parking spot where I lived, so starting my car remotely was nice. I was recently at a spa to get a manicure while on vacation. Advance Electronics was across the street, which brought back fond memories of owning my first car and having a remote car starter installed. Since I moved back to Markham, I have never had the need for a car starter. It would be a nice perk, but it's not as cold here to merit shelling out for one. (321)

On July 6th, I went to the Contact Us section where there is no direct email, but there is a…read moresection called "GO AHEAD, ASK US ANYTHING". I provided the necessary contact information and requested assistance in describing how to disconnect a TV from a wall mount that was installed by Advance in 2018. To date, I have not even received any kind of response. So I guess you can ask them ANYTHING, just don't expect a reply. Al Brockmeyer
