Common car lockout situations
Typical reasons people in Boise call about car lockout.
Keys locked inside the car
Keys on the seat or in the ignition. Most cars can be opened without damage.
Keys locked in the trunk
The technician opens the cabin first, then the trunk, depending on your model.
Keys lost or stolen
The car is opened on-site, and a new key can be made on-site for most makes.
Key broken off in the door lock
The broken piece is extracted from the lock, and a new key can be made if needed.
Dead key fob or push-to-start car
Dead fob battery or no response. The technician opens the car and checks the fob.
Child or pet locked inside
Call 911 first. Then call us if you still need help opening the car.
What affects the price for car lockout?
The exact price for car lockout depends on your specific lock, hardware, and timing. The technician inspects the situation on-site and confirms the exact price before any work begins:
-
Vehicle make, model and year
Newer vehicles with side airbags, frameless windows or deadlocking systems take more time and care than older models.
-
Where the keys are
Keys in the cabin are usually simpler than keys locked in a trunk with no interior release.
-
Broken key extraction
Removing a snapped key from the door cylinder adds labor compared with a standard lockout.
-
Access to the vehicle
Tight parking garages, tow lots or vehicles parked against a wall can make the job take longer.
The technician tells you the exact price before starting. No work begins without your approval.

Car Lockout FAQs
Will opening my car damage it?
Technicians use tools designed to open vehicles without damage, and in most cases there is none. The technician will explain the method before starting.
Do I need to prove the car is mine?
Yes. Expect to show a photo ID that matches the registration or insurance card. If those documents are locked inside, the technician can usually verify them once the door is open, before you drive away.
Can a technician open any make or model?
Most makes and models — call to confirm yours.
My keys are locked in the trunk. Can that be fixed?
Usually the technician opens a door first and uses the interior trunk release or fold-down seats. If your model has neither, they'll explain the options and the price before continuing.
My key broke in the door. What happens now?
The broken piece is extracted from the lock first. If you don't have a spare, ask about having a new key cut — the technician will quote you before starting.
Does it cost more at night or on weekends?
Yes. Technicians are available 24/7, including nights, weekends and holidays. The technician confirms the exact price, including any after-hours rate, before starting any work.
