I locked my keys inside my car and the doors won’t open, so can you get me back in without damaging anything?
We use non-destructive entry tools and techniques aimed to avoid harm to the door, weather seals, and electronics when possible. If a vehicle requires a different method to protect components, we explain the options and proceed with the least invasive approach consistent with safe, proper function of the lock and door mechanisms.
My car uses a transponder key and I don’t have a spare, can you cut and program a replacement on-site?
We carry blank blades and handheld programming tools for many common makes and models and can cut a key to the vehicle’s physical profile. For transponder programming, we follow the manufacturer’s procedure when compatible equipment is on hand; if not, we explain next steps so the key will start and communicate correctly with the immobilizer.
I shut the trunk with the keys inside, do you handle trunk or hatch releases, and what will you do?
We can access trunks and hatches using techniques suited to the vehicle’s design, protecting trim and latch mechanisms. If internal access to the cabin is required first, we address that safely. We’ll assess the latch type, choose the appropriate non-damaging method, and explain any unavoidable panel or component work before proceeding.
