The Most Common Reasons We Get Called
A car lockout almost always comes down to one of a few things — knowing which one helps us tell you what to expect before we arrive.
Keys Locked Inside
The single most common call we get — often in a parking lot, driveway, or on the Michigan Avenue or Warren Avenue corridors. Non-destructive entry tools get you back in without damaging paint or window seals.
Lost or Missing Keys
If your only key is genuinely gone, a lockout turns into a key replacement job. See our car key replacement service →
Dead or Malfunctioning Fob
A fob with a dead battery or failed electronics can leave you locked out even with the key in hand. We can often get you in and diagnose the fob on the spot.
Broken Key in the Door
An old key can snap off in the door lock, especially in cold weather. In most cases the piece can be extracted without further damage. See our broken key extraction service →
Non-Destructive Entry, Every Time
We use non-destructive entry tools designed to be safe for your vehicle’s paint and window seals — never a coat hanger, wedge tool, or force. Modern vehicles vary in how their door and locking mechanisms are built, so we bring the right tool for your specific make rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
If a child or pet is locked in a hot car, call 911 first, then call us. For every other car lockout, call (313) 555-0123 for a real price on the spot.
What Happens When You Call

- We confirm the worst-case price before driving out if there’s a real chance the job is more complex.
- We confirm again on arrival, out loud or by text, before touching your vehicle.
- We get you back in using non-destructive tools safe for your car’s paint and seals.

Common Questions About Car Lockouts
Will you damage my car getting the door open?
We use non-destructive entry tools designed to be safe for paint and window seals. We never use a coat hanger, wedge tool, or force — those are the methods that cause real damage.
What if my keys are missing, not just locked inside?
That’s a different job — cutting a new key and, if your vehicle requires it, programming the transponder chip. See our car key replacement service and pricing →
How fast can you get to me?
Response time depends on where you are in Dearborn and the time of day, but most lockout calls get a technician dispatched the same visit.
Do you work on all car makes and models?
We cover most domestic and import makes on the road in Dearborn. If you’re unsure whether your specific vehicle is covered, ask when you call — we’ll tell you honestly before dispatching.
Is there an extra charge for a night or weekend lockout?
Yes — a night, weekend, or holiday surcharge of roughly +$150–$250 applies and is disclosed before dispatch, never as a surprise afterward. See the full price list →
