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

What is included

What turning up
actually means

Non-destructive entry

Wedges and long-reach tools that work through the door seal rather than the paintwork.

Modern and older vehicles

Electronic locks, manual pulls and post-style locks all handled differently, as they should be.

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.

Ownership check

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

Coverage

Where we bring it

Lockout Service is available across every town and road in the service area.

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.

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!

Straight answers

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.
