From your call to the open door
You call
We ask where the car is, what car it is, and where you can see the keys.
You hear the price and time
Nobody drives out until you say yes.
The technician opens it
Lockout tools made for cars. We try to open the door without damage first. Nothing is drilled or cut without your approval.
ID first, then the door
We check the car is yours before the door is opened. If your ID is inside, tell us on the call.
Three things we do on every job
ID is checked
Your ID against the registration or rental agreement, before the door is opened.
Price on the call
The amount you hear on the phone is the amount you pay. Nothing is added at the car.
Tools made for cars
We try to open the door without damage first. If a job needs more than an opening, we ask first.
If it is more than a simple door
A push-start car
Some lock with the fob inside. Tell us the make and year. More: push-start fob locked inside.
Keys in the trunk
Look for a trunk release or fold-down seat first. If all is locked, we open a door, then the trunk.
A key that broke
A key snapped in the door or ignition is a different job. Tell us on the call.
