Frequently Asked Questions

Will you damage my car getting it unlocked?

No. We use professional, non-destructive entry tools specifically designed for automotive lockouts. Your paint, door frame, weather stripping, and lock mechanism will not be damaged.

How much does a car lockout service cost in Detroit?

Lockout service pricing depends on your location, vehicle type, and time of day. Call (313) 327-6334 for an upfront quote.

What if my key fob battery is dead?
