Very polite, prompt, affordable and professional. They've towed our vehicles twice both times on the weekend. One time I had him tow 2 cars at the same time turned out they had multiple trucks for different situations so didn't have to be charge twice. Their my go to towing company now.

Vehicle Lockout Service
The keys are on the seat, the doors are locked, and the engine may well still be running. We do this most weeks.
The situation
Vehicle Lockout Service
in plain terms
Lockouts are one of the services we specifically specialise in, and they are far more common than people expect. It happens at the grocery store, at the gas pump, in the farmyard, and at the worst possible moment on a school run.
The important part is that the door gets opened without leaving a mark. Coat hangers and screwdrivers bend frames, scratch paint and tear weather seals, and the repair afterwards costs more than the call-out ever would. Proper lockout tools do the job without any of that.
Call us when
- Keys locked in the cabin at a store, pump or parking lot
- The vehicle locked itself while the engine was running
- A child or a pet is shut inside — call immediately
- Keys locked in the trunk after loading
- A spare key exists but is forty minutes away in somebody else's pocket

Non-destructive entry

Engine-running lockouts
A car locked with the motor still turning gets treated as the priority it is.
Kids or pets inside
Say so on the phone. That call goes to the front of the queue, every time.
Trunk and hatch lockouts
Not just the driver's door.

A quick verification that the vehicle is yours — it protects you as much as us.

drivers actually say
I have to thank you guys for coming out to Highway 65 and getting me, my dogs, and car out of the ditch during the snowstorm today. Awesome job and didn't quit til they got me on the road again. After I cleaned the snow out from around and behind my tires and brakes, I was able to get to my destination. Will recommend to anyone needing tow or help. Thanks!!
The two gentleman were so so helpful! The price was exceptionably reasonable, and they even called Pro Repair and Performance to see if they could get us in soon as we had no idea where to go for repairs! Would gladly use their services again!
John came out and helped us on the highway. We were very appreciative with his friendliness and service. I would highly recommend if you need help in this area!
These guys came in clutch when I really needed them. Quick and super friendly. Really appreciate the service, you guys are a life saver

Lockout Service questions
It should not. We use tools made for the job, which is the whole reason to call somebody rather than improvising with a hanger. Improvised entry is where the expensive damage happens.
Call us straight away and say that on the phone so it is treated as an emergency. If the situation is urgent — heat, cold, or distress — call 911 first. Nobody will ever fault you for that.
Most cars, pickups and vans. Some high-security systems on newer vehicles genuinely cannot be opened this way, and if yours is one of them we will tell you rather than waste your time and money.
We do ask. It is a short check and it is what stops the service being used to open somebody else's vehicle.
