Frequently Asked Questions

Can I hire for recurring services?

Yes! Many customers set up recurring arrangements for regular maintenance, cleaning, or ongoing services. You can establish a schedule with your car locksmith, with each appointment protected by escrow. This ensures consistent quality even for routine work.

How detailed should my project description be?

The more details, the better! Include project scope, timeline, specific requirements, and any relevant photos. Detailed descriptions help car locksmiths provide accurate quotes and reduce misunderstandings. You can always discuss specifics further before starting work.

What makes Kokobeo different from other platforms?

Our escrow payment system is the key difference. Unlike platforms where you pay directly to contractors, Kokobeo holds payment securely until you approve work. Combined with verified professionals, transparent pricing, and dispute resolution, we provide unmatched protection for every car locksmith you hire.

How do I know if a quote is fair?

Request quotes from multiple professionals to compare pricing. Our platform shows average rates for car locksmiths in Berkeley, helping you identify fair pricing. Reviews from past customers also provide insight into value and quality received for the price paid.

What geographic areas do you serve?

Kokobeo serves all of Berkeley and surrounding areas in CA. Our network includes professionals willing to travel throughout the region. When posting your project, you'll see which car locksmiths serve your specific location and their travel policies.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

You can cancel or reschedule before work begins without penalty. Once work has started, cancellation terms depend on your agreement with the car locksmith. Any work completed up to cancellation point will be calculated, and unused funds remain in your escrow for future projects.

What if I have a complaint about a professional?

Contact our customer support immediately with your concerns. We take all complaints seriously and investigate thoroughly. Your escrow payment remains protected during investigation. Depending on the issue, we'll mediate, arrange corrections, or process refunds as appropriate.
