The keys are locked in the trunk. Different problem?

Same call. Most vehicles release the trunk from the cabin once the doors are open; the rest have their own approach. Mention it on the phone and it is handled in the same visit.

There is a child locked inside. What do I do?

Call 911 first — emergency services treat a child in a locked vehicle as the emergency it is, and temperature makes it urgent fast. Call us while they are on the way; whoever reaches the car first gets it open.

Modern vehicles are opened with wedges and long-reach tools, not the methods that worked twenty years ago — there is wiring, airbag hardware and side-impact structure inside a door panel now. We come to wherever the vehicle is. If a child or pet is shut inside, call 911 first, then call us.

Modern vehicles open with modern methods
The coat-hanger era ended when door panels filled with wiring looms, side-impact bars and airbag hardware. Today's openings are done with inflatable wedges and long-reach tools, working the door's own controls without disturbing what lives inside the panel — or with decoding and cutting when the lock itself is the better path. Technique is chosen per vehicle, which is why door seals, glass, trim and paint come through the visit the way they went in.
Wherever the vehicle is stranded
The roadside shoulder, a mall parking structure, your own driveway with the engine running and the fob on the seat — the service comes to the vehicle, so there is no tow in the story. One exception outranks us: if a child or pet is shut inside a hot or cold car, call 911 first, then call us while help is on the way. Glass can be replaced; minutes cannot.

Step 1: Call with make, model and where
The vehicle determines the technique and the quote. Saying “2019 Civic, keys on the seat, Costco lot” gets you a real number and the right tools on the van.
Step 2: Quote before dispatch
The price is agreed on the phone. A lockout is a bad moment to negotiate through a rolled-up window, so we do not put you in that position.
Step 3: Ownership check at the vehicle
ID and proof the vehicle is yours — registration, insurance slip, or the plate matched to what you can show. Every time, no exceptions.
Step 4: Open and verify
The vehicle opened without damage, locks and windows confirmed working, and you back on your way.

Opened at the roadside, in the lot, or in the driveway — no tow, no waiting for a shop to open
Tools and technique chosen for the vehicle, so door seals, glass and trim come through intact
Proof of ownership checked before we open a vehicle, every time, without exception

No — the tools and technique are chosen for the vehicle precisely so seals, glass and trim survive. The methods that damaged doors belong to a previous generation of both cars and locksmiths.
