If yes, and the situation is dangerous (hot weather, no AC, child/pet showing distress, or medical concern): call 911 FIRST. Emergency responders can be on scene in 5-10 minutes and have authority to break a window if needed. They will be faster than any locksmith.
Call us at (253) 796-8550 only if the situation is not immediately dangerous. We'll dispatch the closest tech immediately, but a fire department/police response will always be faster for true emergencies.
Our techs carry professional lockout tools designed specifically for non-destructive vehicle entry — long-reach tools, automotive wedges, and specialized picks that work on the vast majority of cars, trucks, and SUVs without damaging your vehicle.

Car lockout pricing should be simple. Here's exactly what to expect:
Standard car lockout: $65-$135
Plus mileage adjustment if you're outside Auburn (typically $0-60 depending on distance — quoted upfront).
No surprise upcharges. No "high-security" claim once we arrive. No "we need to drill the lock." The price quoted on the phone is the price you pay.
Avoid bait-and-switch locksmiths: if someone advertises "$15 lockout" or "$19 service," the actual bill almost always climbs to $200+ once they're on scene. We don't operate that way. The locksmith industry has been damaged by these tactics — we work to be different.

We use professional non-destructive entry techniques for the vast majority of standard cars and trucks. Some specialty European vehicles with high-security door designs (some Mercedes, BMW, Volvo, Range Rover) are more resistant to non-destructive entry and may require dealer service. We tell you upfront if your vehicle is one of these.
No. We use professional lockout tools (long-reach tools, wedges, and specialized picks) designed specifically for non-destructive vehicle entry. Modern locksmith methods don't scratch paint, damage weatherstripping, or harm window mechanisms when done correctly. Avoid using improvised tools or DIY methods — those cause damage.
