Locked Out Of Your Car? Roadside Help

Q: Can you get into my car without damaging it?

In most cases yes, using non-destructive entry tools — we won't force a lock or break glass unless there's a genuine emergency (like a child or pet locked inside).

Q: What if my key fob battery has just died, not lost the key?

That's a different job to a lockout — if you've still got the physical key, we may be able to get you in and give you a temporary way to start the car; if not, we'll advise on the nearest way to get a new fob cut.

Q: I've lost my keys completely, not locked them inside — can you still help?

That's more of an auto-locksmith job than a standard lockout — give us a call and we'll be upfront about whether it's something we can help with or who to call instead.

Q: Is a lockout treated as urgent as a breakdown?

Yes, especially if it's late, cold, or there's anyone vulnerable with the car — we treat it with the same priority as any other call.

Q: What if my car won't start?

Tell us the symptoms when you call — flat battery, turns over but won't fire, dashboard warning lights — and we'll often be able to get you moving at the roadside without a full recovery.

What we'll do

How we handle it

We can help with roadside lockout assistance in many cases. For lost or badly damaged keys, we may need to recover the vehicle to a garage or locksmith instead.
