Please remember, the focus was supposed to be about consumer roadside assistance after hours, however, it was being intentionally molested by some who had other interests.in other words.follow the money. Things eventually evolved which included the Associated Locksmiths of America (ALOA) as being the "clearing house" or gateway for the locksmiths and others. In order for a locksmith to receive access to service information and key codes for automobile, they must be cleared by ALOA and pay some handsome fees to each manufacturers website. There was even a guy on it that was claiming to be the Executive Director of Communications for an organization that didn't even exist who was demanding that the locksmith could only use the products he represented. The National Automotive Service Task Force (NASTF) Vehicle Security Committee (VSC) was born which comprised of a collection of locksmiths, organizations and automotive manufacturer reps. The impact of this potential legislation forced others to resolve the problems or face legislative compliance. So much was this concern for the "consumer" that a piece of legislation known as the Automotive Right to Repair Act was drafted, that was intended to support the vehicle owner and give them options such as choosing a local locksmith instead of a dealer for service. A big outcry could be heard from sea to sea of how stranded motorists could not be serviced "after hours" and were stranded because of the dealers grip on the service information, equipment, & keys. A few years back the locksmith industry found themselves in the inner tube when it came to the serviceability of automobiles utilizing transponder technology.
Knowing how to navigate and to spot trends can prepare oneself for what may come next.
You know the routine, up, down, up.down again with jobs, getting paid etc.Īs a professional sitting in that inner tube, you try to take advantage of seeing the horizon as you reach the crest of the swells, since their presence sometimes indicate a storm off into the distance. Some days as a locksmith it is a feast, while other days can be famine. A roller coaster adventure of sorts with anticipation and disappointments. One moment your floating along in the trough, then rising up to the crest and back down into the trough again. Being in the locksmith business is kinda like sitting on an inner tube in the middle of the ocean watching the swells roll up and down.
