Locked Out of Your Car? Start Here
A vehicle lockout is usually a quick job. What slows it down is the wrong location or missing details. These three things get a tow truck operator to you faster.
What to expect
How Our Car Lockout Service Works
The objective is simple: to open your car door without causing any damage. We’ve done it thousands of times before, and we do it at a price you know before our tow truck operator shows up.
Common situations
Lockouts We Handle
Before you try it yourself
Why We Don’t Recommend the Coat Hanger
Modern car doors have a lot more inside them than a lock rod. A wire hanger, slim jim or screwdriver forced past the window can do more damage than the lockout call costs:
If you’re stuck, call us. It’s cheaper than replacing a window or a door seal.
Coverage
Serving North Hollywood, Glendale & Nearby Neighborhoods
Our two yards are a short drive from the 170, 101, 134 and 5 freeways, so when you lock your keys in your car we can reach most of the east San Fernando Valley and Glendale area quickly.
See our North Hollywood, Glendale and Hollywood pages for everything else we do in those areas.
If a Child or Pet Is Locked Inside, Call 911 First
A closed car in the Valley sun heats up fast, much faster than most people expect, even on a mild day. If a child, a pet or a vulnerable adult is inside, call 911 right away. Emergency responders can get there and get in faster than any tow company can. Call us afterward if you still need the car opened or other help.
Other vehicle problems
When Opening the Door Isn’t Enough
Sometimes the lockout is only part of the problem. We can usually take care of the rest on the same call:
Questions
Car Lockout Service FAQ
When you call for lockout service our dispatcher will give you the price before the tow truck operator heads in your direction, so there are no surprises. The cost depends on your location and we accept all major credit cards.
It depends on where you are and on the traffic at that time of the day. If we have a truck close it will be just a matter of a few minutes. We’ll give you an estimate when you call. Once the driver arrives, most doors are open in a few minutes.
No. We use lockout tools specifically designed for unlocking most makes and models of vehicles, not pry bars or hangers, so the paint, weather stripping, window and door wiring stay intact.
We need to confirm the vehicle is yours before we open it. For example, a photo ID matching the registration, or a rental agreement. If your ID is locked inside, tell dispatch. We can verify ownership once the door is open.
No. We do not make keys. If your keys are lost rather than locked inside your vehicle, we can tow the car to your home or the dealer so a replacement key can be cut and programmed.
Yes. Lockout and roadside services run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays. Call (818) 503-1300.
Yes. Semis, pickups, cargo vans, SUVs and fleet vehicles, as well as cars. Tell dispatch the year, make and model so when a driver arrives he’s ready for your vehicle.
