Frequently asked questions
Answers to what our customers ask most. Still unsure? Just call.
How fast can you reach me for a car lockout in Salt Lake City?+
Response time depends on your exact location and how many calls are ahead of you, but because we are a fully mobile operation running 24/7, we work to get a technician to you as quickly as road conditions allow. During a busy Utah Jazz game night when downtown Salt Lake City traffic backs up along 300 South, it may take a little longer — we will always give you an honest estimated arrival time when you call (801) 938-8361.
What do I need to show to prove the car is mine before you unlock it?+
Our technicians verify ownership before any work begins — this protects you as much as it protects other vehicle owners. Acceptable documentation typically includes a government-issued photo ID and vehicle registration or insurance card showing your name matched to the VIN or plate. If you do not have both on you, let us know when you call and we will walk you through the available options. We will not proceed without confirming ownership.
Is your car lockout service really available at 3 a.m. on a Sunday?+
Yes. Our 24 hour car lockout service is not a marketing phrase — a live team member answers the phone at (801) 938-8361 at any hour, including weekends, Utah state holidays, and the middle of a January snowstorm. Night calls and weekend calls are factored into the quote we give you upfront, so you know exactly what to expect before we roll.
How is my car lockout price determined, and will I get a quote before you start?+
Several factors go into the final cost: the complexity of your vehicle's lock or entry system, the time of day, our technician's travel distance to your location, and whether replacement parts like a key or cylinder are needed. We gather that information during your call and confirm an exact price before any work begins. There are no add-ons waiting for you at the end of the job.
Can you help if my key broke off inside the car door lock or ignition?+
Broken key extraction is one of the more common follow-on issues we see during lockout calls, and yes, our mobile technicians carry the extraction tools needed for both door lock cylinders and ignition cylinders. In many cases we can also cut and program a replacement key on-site so you leave with a fully working key, not just an open door.
What should I do if a child or pet is locked in my car?+
Call 911 immediately — this is a safety emergency and first responders have the authority and tools to act without waiting. Do not attempt to break a window yourself unless a dispatcher advises you to and you can do so safely. Once the immediate danger is resolved, our team can assist with any resulting lock or window damage, or help you arrange a spare key so it does not happen again. For non-emergency lockouts, (801) 938-8361 is your direct line to our team.
