Keys inside, or no key left?
Opening a locked vehicle and making a new car key are different jobs. The lockout estimate below covers vehicle entry. If your keys are lost, stolen or unusable, use our car key replacement guide by make and model to check the appropriate service and estimate.
1. Describe the lockout
Tell us where the car is parked, its make, model and year, and whether the key is inside or missing. We check service availability and give a preliminary estimate and arrival time.
2. Confirm the work
We verify ownership or authorization, inspect the situation and explain the entry method. You approve the complete price before work begins.
3. Regain access
The technician carries out the agreed vehicle-entry service. If you also need a replacement or spare key, ask for a separate vehicle-specific estimate.
Keys Locked in the Trunk?
Trunk access depends on the vehicle's lock and release system. Opening a door may not provide access to the trunk, so tell us where the key is, whether the cabin is open and whether a spare key is available. Share the year, make, model and exact location so we can check the appropriate service.
Have your photo ID and proof of ownership or authorization ready; mention any documents locked inside. We confirm availability, an arrival estimate and any travel or time-based charges before dispatch. You approve the quote before work begins. If a replacement key is needed, check our vehicle catalog for supported key services and request a separate estimate.
Call during 7 AM – 10 PM, every day to confirm trunk-access options for your vehicle.

Car Lockout Questions
How much does a car lockout cost?
The published estimate for a standard car lockout is $65–$120. Published price ranges are estimates, not a quote for every vehicle or appointment. Vehicle, location, timing and urgency affect the total; travel and time-based charges are disclosed before dispatch, and the complete price is approved before work begins.
Is a lockout the same as losing every car key?
No. A lockout service helps you regain access when your key is inside the vehicle. If no usable key remains, you need an all-keys-lost replacement estimate. Tell us which situation applies so we can check the correct service for your make, model and year.
What do I need to show before the vehicle is unlocked?
We verify a government-issued photo ID and proof that you own the vehicle or are authorized to access it. If those documents are locked inside, explain that when you call so the technician can discuss verification before work begins.
Will the service damage my car?
We prioritize non-destructive entry. The appropriate method depends on the vehicle and the condition of its locks. The technician will explain the proposed work and any limitations for your approval before starting.
When can I book a car lockout service?
Our service hours are 7 AM – 10 PM, every day. Share your exact location and vehicle details when you call. We confirm current availability, an arrival estimate and any travel or time-based charges before dispatch.
Can I ask for a spare key after a lockout?
Yes, you can request a separate spare-key estimate. Key cutting and programming are separate from vehicle entry, and support depends on the exact make, model, year and whether a working key is available.
