Mike German
Owner, Silver State Locksmith, Las Vegas, Nevada
Mike German is one of the owners of Silver State Locksmith in Las Vegas, Nevada. He owns it 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 for cars, homes and businesses. Car work is a big part of the day, so Mike has spent years on lockouts, lost keys and fobs that will not respond.
Mike writes for this guide from Las Vegas. He is an outside writer. He does not work in Louisville, and his shop is not the service that answers the phone on this site. A locked car and a dead fob work the same way in every city, which is why his advice on what to try first, what to ask and what to avoid carries over.
He also talked about the trade as a guest on Episode 15 of the Smoke & Receipts podcast.
