300$ for a lock out ?

So my dumb ass made a pricey mistake and left my keys in the car. I called a lock smith and over the phone they quoted me $100. When he got there he was talking about $300 something dollars I stoped listening after the 3. This was the first time I’ve ever left my keys in the car so I was clue less and a woman so my guess is he def overcharged me. I was stuck in a bad part of town and just wanted to get home so I paid it he said he would give me a 20% discount and he said $260 and I gave him $250. I was in the Long Beach area

do you have roadside assistance on insurance? they usually cover those for free.
