Locking your keys inside your car is one of those situations that feels stupid the moment it happens and then quickly gets stressful — especially if it's dark, cold, or you're on a deadline. Lockouts are one of our most common calls, and the good news is they're usually fast: professional tools, done in a few minutes on scene, with no damage to your door, window, or weather-stripping.
Most modern vehicles can be unlocked with a specialized wedge-and-rod tool that reaches the interior lock switch. When done by someone who does it every week, there's no damage — no bent frame, no cracked plastic, no torn weather-stripping. We handle sedans, SUVs, trucks, and most crossovers with the same kit.
There are a few situations where we tell customers up-front that we can't help: (1) certain new high-security vehicles where the interior lock switches are recessed and require dealer tools, (2) damaged locks that need a locksmith, and (3) vehicles where the customer needs a replacement key made rather than the door unlocked. In those cases we'll be honest on the phone before charging you for a visit.
One important note: if you're locked out with a child, pet, or medical emergency inside, call 911 first. Police and fire departments respond to those situations for free and can force entry faster than we can arrive. We're happy to follow up for a re-lock or repair afterward.

Pricing
Lockouts are a flat-rate service call, quoted on the phone based on your location. If we can't unlock your specific vehicle, we don't charge you — you'll only pay if we successfully open the car.
