Common Car Lockout Situations

You might need our help if:

• You shut the door and see the keys on the seat
• You close the trunk with the keys inside
• The key fob battery dies and the manual key will not turn
• A child or pet is in the car and the doors are locked

How Our Mobile Car Lockout Process Works

Our service is mobile only. There is no walk-in shop at 929 Mulberry St. We drive to you anywhere in our service area.

Here is how the process works:

1. You call us
   Call (484) 247-1988. Tell us your location, the year, make, and model of your vehicle, and what happened.

2. We give an estimated arrival time
   We tell you when a technician can get to you based on your location and traffic.

3. Prepare what we need
   Have these ready if possible:

   • A valid photo ID
   • Proof of ownership (registration, insurance card, or title with your name)
   • The vehicle’s year, make, and model

   If the documents are locked in the car, we will review them with you after opening the vehicle.

4. We arrive and verify ownership
   Our technician confirms you are authorized to unlock the vehicle before starting work.

5. We unlock your vehicle
   We use professional tools and methods to open the car without damage. In many cases, this takes only a few minutes once we begin.

6. Optional key services
   If you also need spare keys, rekeying, or programming, we can often help during the same visit.
