What makes car lockouts stressful
You are often somewhere unfamiliar, in a car park or by the roadside, possibly with children or shopping. If a child or pet is locked in a hot or cold car, call 911 straight away. Otherwise, move somewhere safe and call us with the location.
When the technician arrives
Check ownership
We look at your ID and the registration or title before opening the vehicle.
Open the car
We use vehicle entry tools designed to open doors without harming paint, glass or weather seals.
Check the key
If the key is broken or the fob has failed, we can extract, cut or program a replacement on site.
Trunk and running-car lockouts
If keys are locked in the trunk, we can often open a door and use the interior release, or open the trunk lock directly. Keys locked in a running car need prompt attention as fuel burns; tell the dispatcher when you call. Lost the key altogether? See transponder keys and automotive locksmith.
Car lockout FAQs
Will opening my car damage it?
Proper vehicle entry tools are designed to avoid damage, and the technician works carefully around paint, glass and seals.
Can you open a car with keyless entry?
Yes. Push-to-start and keyless cars can be opened the same way, and we can check or replace a failing fob.
What if it isn't my car?
We need the owner's consent and documents. Rental cars may need the rental company's approval.
