Common Lockouts

  • Keys locked inside the car or in the ignition.
  • Keys locked in the trunk.
  • A key fob with a dead battery.
  • A child or pet locked inside.

If a Child or Pet Is Inside

A closed car in the Texas sun heats up very quickly. If a child or pet is locked inside and in danger, call 911 first. Then call us.

How We Open It

We use proper lockout tools to open the door without breaking glass or bending the frame. We will ask you to show an ID that matches the vehicle registration before we hand it back.

Broken Key in the Lock?

If the key snapped off in the door lock or ignition, that is a different job. See broken key extraction.

Where We Help

Garages off Congress Avenue, rideshare lots at Austin-Bergstrom Airport, grocery store lots, apartment complexes and driveways across Austin.
