How Do We Open Your Car Without Damage?

Long-reach tools, air wedges, and Lishi picks. We don't use slim jims anymore. Modern cars have too many wires in the door panel. Instead, we use a small air wedge to create a gap at the door frame (doesn't damage the seal) and a long-reach tool to hit the unlock button or pull the handle.

For vehicles with advanced anti-theft (like newer BMWs, Mercedes, and Teslas), we use manufacturer-specific techniques. Our Lishi 2-in-1 picks can decode and open most automotive lock cylinders in under 3 minutes.

What Does a Car Lockout Cost?

$95-$150 depending on the vehicle type and location. Standard vehicles (Honda, Toyota, Ford, Chevy) are on the lower end. European luxury vehicles and newer models with advanced security are on the higher end.

According to AAA's 2025 roadside assistance data, the average car lockout takes 30-45 minutes when waiting for a tow truck or roadside service. We average 20 minutes from your call to your door being open. And unlike AAA, we can also make you a new key right there if yours is lost.

What If My Keys Are in the Trunk?

Same process, same price. We open the car door, then use the interior trunk release to pop the trunk. If the trunk release is disabled, we can pick the trunk lock cylinder directly. Either way, no damage and no extra charge for trunk access.
