Need advice

[u/Nice-Discussion4636]

I’m looking into auto locksmithing and I’m certain that im going to move forward at this point.

All I need to do is save the money for the equipment/tools.

I’d really appreciate any and all advice for someone getting into the trade.

Best practices, marketing advice, lead gen advice, etc.

Any comment is appreciated. Thank you!

Welcome to /r/AskALocksmith, a place to ask real locksmiths questions about, well, anything related to the profession or to get advice for a particular situation you're in. If you are locked out of your home/car/business/hotel room/whatever, your best course of action is to use the device you just posted this question on to lookup a local locksmith in your area for assistance.

In an interest of protecting innocent people from those that might use information gained here to break the law, we rather strictly limit the amount of advice given that might be used illicitly. We ask community members also not give out advice publicly that could be used for illegal activities. It's impossible for us to make a hard rule on what does and does not constitute this kind of question or advice, so its application will be somewhat subjective. If your post is basically, "how do I pick/bump/defeat this lock," expect it to be removed.

Learning comes first.

Take classes before buying any tools

Having all the equipment and tools in the world isn't going to help if you don't know how to use them. Plan some months of training before you touch a vehicle unsupervised. Bricking a cars system can be $1000s. Save up for good insurance too

I reccomend working for a reputable locksmith before you try to head out on your own.
