Is it safe to call a tow service to unlock my car?

Yes. Licensed tow operators are trained to open car doors using professional tools that do not scratch or damage your vehicle. We use slim jims, air wedges, and long-reach tools depending on your car model. We have unlocked hundreds of vehicles in the Bay Shore area without causing any damage.

What if my keys are broken or stuck in the ignition?

We can help with keys that are stuck in the ignition or keys that have broken off inside the lock. In some cases we can remove the broken piece on the spot. If the situation requires a locksmith for a key cut or transponder programming, we will let you know and can tow the car to a shop if needed.

How long does it take to unlock a car?

Once our driver arrives, most car lockouts take between five and fifteen minutes. The time depends on your vehicle model and which door we need to work with. We will give you an honest arrival estimate when you call so you know exactly how long the full wait will be from start to finish.

How We Open Your Car Door Without Damage

We use non-destructive entry tools that are designed specifically for vehicle lockouts. Here is a quick look at how the process works:

We check the vehicle model

Different cars require different approaches. Our driver identifies your make, model, and door type before deciding which tool to use.

We use the right entry method

For most vehicles, we use an air wedge to create a small gap at the top of the door and a long-reach tool to trip the lock. For older vehicles, a slim jim may be used.

We confirm everything is good before we leave

Once your door is open, we make sure the lock is working normally and your alarm is off. If your battery has also drained, we offer jump start service in Bay Shore, NY on the same call.
