Mike German
Owner, Silver State Locksmith, Las Vegas
Mike German is one of the owners of Silver State Locksmith in Las Vegas, Nevada. He runs the shop with his partner Ezra, and he has worked in the locksmith trade for more than 20 years.
Silver State is a 24 hour mobile locksmith. The crew drives to homes, businesses and cars, so Mike sees the same few problems every week: a key locked in a car, a fob that quit, a lock that will not turn at two in the morning.
On Locksmith Listing he writes the guides for people in that spot. They cover what a lockout should cost, how to tell a real locksmith from a scam, and what to have ready before you call.
Mike also talked about the trade as a guest on Episode 15 of the Smoke & Receipts podcast.
