Getting locked out of your vehicle can quickly become a nuisance or even an emergency situation, especially if a child or pet is still inside the car. Auto lockout services provide fast professional assistance to gain entry into locked vehicles without damaging the vehicle. Highly trained locksmiths have specialized lockout tools and techniques that manipulate the lock mechanism quickly to unlock modern car doors and trunks without any damage to locking components or ignition systems. Lockout service providers can create replacement keys on site or use tools to temporarily disengage locks and latches to access the passenger compartment. Most major auto clubs and insurance providers include emergency lockout service with basic roadside assistance plans, with members paying a small co-pay per service call. For those without roadside assistance coverage, independent locksmiths also offer 24/7 emergency vehicle lockout services for a market price based on time and mileage. Calling for professional help is highly recommended over DIY methods that often damage vehicles and void warranties.
