My man legit showed up in the middle of a thunderstorm. It was so bad I literally called back the service to verify, bc I didn’t think they’d send anyone out in that severe weather. Got my truck open within a cpl min, then waited while I searched for my missing keys with his flashlight. Great service, great technician, would highly recommend. Thank you

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How fast can you respond to a car lockout situation?

Our average response time across New Jersey is 15–35 minutes. Response time depends on your location and current technician availability, but we dispatch immediately on every call and prioritize lockouts — especially when a child or pet is inside the vehicle.

If you have a child or pet locked in the car, tell us when you call so we can treat it as a priority emergency. In those situations we aim to be on-site as quickly as possible and will advise you on whether to contact 911 while you wait.

Will the car lockout service cause any damage to my vehicle?

No — when performed by a trained technician with proper tools, car lockout service causes zero damage to your vehicle. Our technicians use professional-grade equipment including:

  • Air wedge kits — create a small gap in the door frame without bending or scratching
  • Long-reach tools — extend through the gap to press door unlock buttons or pull lock levers
  • Slim jim tools — for older vehicles with mechanical door locks

We do not use coat hangers or improvised tools that can scratch paint, bend door frames, or damage weather stripping. If you’ve seen DIY lockout videos online — our approach is far more careful than that.

Our technicians are trained on a wide range of vehicle makes and models and know which entry technique is safest for your specific car.

Are your technicians certified and experienced in handling car lockout situations?

Our technicians are certified and trained to handle all car lockout situations.

Can you unlock any type of vehicle, including older models and luxury cars?

Our technicians are trained to unlock any vehicle even Semi Trucks, Luxury cars and older model vehicles.

Can you unlock a car with keyless entry or a smart key system?

Yes. Vehicles with keyless entry or smart key systems can still be unlocked using physical entry techniques — the smart key system only affects how the car starts and operates, not the physical door lock mechanism.

Even if your key fob battery is dead, your smart key is inside the car, or the proximity sensor isn’t responding, we can still gain physical access to the vehicle. Once you’re inside, we can also advise on next steps for getting the car to start (most smart key vehicles have a backup start method using a physical key hidden in the fob).

We regularly service vehicles with keyless entry systems from Toyota, Honda, Ford, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Tesla, and all other major brands.

How long does it usually take to unlock a car?

Most vehicles are unlocked within 5–15 minutes of our technician’s arrival. The exact time depends on the vehicle type and entry method required:

  • Standard domestic/Japanese vehicles (Toyota, Honda, Ford, Chevy) — typically 5–10 minutes
  • European vehicles (BMW, Audi, Mercedes) — can take 10–15 minutes due to tighter door tolerances
  • Older vehicles with mechanical locks — often faster, 5 minutes or less
  • Trucks and SUVs with high door frames — similar to standard, 5–10 minutes

Adding our arrival time of 15–35 minutes, you’re typically back in your vehicle within 30–50 minutes of your call.
