Need a Locksmith to Open Your Car? Here’s How It Works
1. Call and tell us where you are
Give us the address, or the nearest cross streets if you’re not sure. Tell us the year, make and model, and we’ll give you the price before we head out.
2. We drive to you
Parking lot, driveway, roadside or trailhead, we come to you anywhere in the Tucson area, even up the mountain.
3. We open your car with the right tools
We use professional lockout tools made for your vehicle, not a slim jim or a coat hanger. Those old tricks don’t work on today’s cars, and forcing a door or window is how cars get hurt.
4. Pay and get back on the road
We take cash, cards, tap to pay, Zelle and Venmo. Cards must be in the payer’s name.
Car Lockouts We Handle
Keys Locked Inside the Car
The most common call we get. Keys on the seat, doors locked. We’ll have you back in and on your way.
Keys Locked in the Trunk
Many cars won’t open the trunk once the doors are locked. We open the car first, then the trunk, without forcing either one.
Push-to-Start Car Locked With the Key Fob Inside
Smart keys are supposed to stop this, but it still happens, especially when the fob battery is weak. We open all push-to-start and keyless-entry vehicles.
Locked Out With the Engine Running
Left the car running for the A/C and the doors locked on you? Call right away so you don’t burn gas while you wait.
Can’t Get Your Car Open With the Key
Sometimes the keys aren’t locked inside at all. The fob battery dies, the remote stops working or the key won’t turn in the door. We get you in, tell you what went wrong, and replace the key or remote on the spot if it needs it.
Locked Out and Your Keys Are Gone
If your keys are lost, not just locked inside, we can open the car and make you a new key on the spot. Our van carries a key cutting machine and programming equipment.
Vehicle Lockout and Car Unlock Service
A car unlock service is more than cars. We open cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, semi trucks and fleet vehicles, foreign and domestic.
Some vehicles go into a security lockout mode when the doors are opened the wrong way, or when the car doesn’t sense the key. That can set off the alarm or stop the car from starting. Our tools open the door the right way, and if the system still needs to be cleared, we can do it on site with our programming equipment.
Locked out late at night? We answer at any hour. It’s never too late to call.
Child or Pet Locked in a Hot Car? Call 911 First
A parked car in Tucson can get dangerously hot within minutes, even on a mild day. If a child or pet is locked inside, call 911 right away, then call us at 520-442-5008.
Tell us it’s an emergency and you go to the front of the line. Some newer vehicles, like many Toyotas, fight back by relocking the doors against certain tools, so emergency crews sometimes call a locksmith for help.
How Much Does a Car Lockout Cost in Tucson?
Every car lockout starts with a $49 service call, which covers coming to you. Inside Tucson city limits, your total is never more than $169. Outside the city limits, a travel fee is added based on your ZIP code.
We give you the price on the phone before we come out. And if we can’t get you in, there is no charge.
Will Insurance Pay for My Car Lockout?
Many auto insurance policies and roadside plans pay back lockout costs. We leave you an itemized receipt to send in. Check your policy or call your insurer to see what’s covered.

Car Lockout Questions
Who opens cars when the keys are locked inside?
A car locksmith. Police and fire crews usually only open cars in a life-threatening emergency. Roadside plans often send whoever is free, which can mean a long wait. We’re a local lockout service that comes straight to you, 24/7.
How fast can you get to me?
It depends on where you are and the time of day. We’ll give you an arrival time when you call.
Will you force the door or break a window?
No. We open the door with professional lockout tools made for your vehicle, not a slim jim or a coat hanger.
Can you unlock a car with the key fob locked inside?
Yes. We open push-to-start and keyless-entry cars every week.
Do I need to prove the car is mine?
Yes. Once the car is open, we ask to see your ID and the registration. It protects you and keeps your car from being opened by the wrong person.
What if I lost my keys completely?
We can open the car and cut and program a new key right there. See our automotive locksmith service for details.
Can you come at night or on a holiday?
Yes. We’re open 24 hours a day, every day of the year. See our 24 hour emergency locksmith service.

What Our Customers Say
Jon showed up on time, installed the new front door handle and deadbolt with careful attention to detail. The existing deadbolt hole dimensions weren't quite right so he bored out the hole to make the lock work smoothly.
Eric Copper
When John showed up he literally walked over to my door picked the lock it 2 minutes, yep 2 minutes flat, I'm not kidding 2 minutes! This dude even gave me a discount and made me a spare key in case my employees ever lock the keys in the truck again.
Thanks again, John.
