Will unlocking my car damage it?

Absolutely not. We use professional automotive lockout tools specifically designed for safe vehicle entry. No coat hangers, no slim jims that scratch paint. Your door, paint, weatherstripping, and locks will be completely unharmed.

Can you unlock newer cars with keyless entry?

Yes. Modern vehicles with keyless entry, push-button start, and advanced security systems are our specialty. We stay current with automotive technology and have the right tools for everything from Teslas to pickup trucks.

How long will it take you to get to me?

Response times vary depending on your location and traffic. When you call, we'll give you an honest arrival estimate based on where our nearest tech is. Child or pet locked in? We treat these as our highest priority and dispatch the nearest available technician immediately.

How much does a car lockout cost?

It depends on your vehicle type, location, and time of day, but we provide a convenient alternative to dealer or tow truck options. More importantly, we give you the exact diagnostic quote before we do any work. No surprises.

What if my child is locked in the car?

Call us right away. We treat every child-in-vehicle call as our absolute top priority and send our nearest available tech as fast as possible.

Frequently Asked

Car Lockout FAQs

Do I need to prove I own the property during a lockout?
