What affects the price
The vehicle, the time of day and the distance from us.
Before you call
Have the registration or ownership document and ID ready. If you can, note whether the key is inside or missing.
Good to know
Do not try to open the car with a coat hanger or a wedge; you can scratch paint, tear seals and damage wiring inside the door. If a child or pet is inside, call 911 first. In hot or cold weather, move to a safe place and stay visible while you wait.
When this is not the right fix
Vehicle entry is what this service covers. Car-key cutting and programming are not offered. If the car will not start after we open it, a mechanic or the dealer can assess the problem.
