24/7 Towing & Roadside Assistance · A person answers

It happens in the same three places every time: a beach lot, a grocery store, and the moment you close the trunk with the keys still in it. We offer roadside lockout assistance to the owner of the vehicle, done carefully and without damage on most cars.

When people call us for this

  • Keys visible on the driver’s seat, doors locked, and the spare is at home.
  • The trunk closed with the keys inside it.
  • A key fob that stopped working and locked the car on its own.
  • A child or a pet shut inside — call 911 first, then say it the moment we pick up.
  • The car locked itself while running, which some models do.

How it goes

  1. 1Call and tell us the year, make and model. Different cars need different approaches, and knowing in advance saves time at the car.
  2. 2We ask you to have ID and something showing the car is yours — registration, insurance card, or the rental agreement.
  3. 3The driver works carefully with proper tools.
  4. 4You check the car over before we leave.

What it costs

Quoted on the call — call for price. What it takes depends heavily on the vehicle, and a single printed number would be wrong more often than right.

The price you hear on the phone is the price you pay.

If a car cannot be handled without damage, we say so before starting rather than after.

No night, weekend or holiday surcharge. We will not give you an arrival time over the internet that we might not keep — call and we will tell you where the truck actually is.

Lockout Assistance — common questions

Will you damage the door or the paint?

The whole method is built around not damaging anything. On the rare vehicle where that is not possible, we tell you before we begin and you decide what to do next.

Do you need proof the car is mine?

Yes, and we ask every single time without exception. ID plus registration, an insurance card, or the rental agreement.

A child or a pet is locked inside. What do I do?

Call 911 first, then call us. On a hot Tampa day the inside of a car becomes dangerous within minutes, and the fire department is equipped to act immediately.

Can you make me a new key?

No. We do not cut or program keys — a replacement key is a dealer job.
