Our Lockout Service Process
- 1
Call us — if a child or pet is locked inside, tell us immediately as this is a priority emergency. Provide your location, vehicle make/model/year, and which doors are locked.
- 2
We dispatch a technician with professional automotive entry tools. For child/pet emergencies, we send the nearest available vehicle regardless of other callouts.
- 3
The technician uses non-destructive methods (air wedges, long-reach tools, or pick tools depending on your vehicle) to unlock the door without any damage.
- 4
Once open, we verify your identity against the vehicle registration before handing over access.
- 5
You're back in your car with zero damage. The whole process typically takes 5–15 minutes once on scene.
If the lockout is combined with a flat battery (common when sitting with lights on while locked out), we also offer battery jumpstart as part of the same callout.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will you damage my car opening it?
No. We use professional non-destructive entry tools specifically designed for automotive lockouts. There is no damage to your door seals, paint, window mechanisms, or electronics.
My child is locked in the car — how fast can you get here?
Child and pet lockouts are our highest priority. We override all other callouts and dispatch the nearest available vehicle immediately. In most Pretoria locations, we arrive within 15–25 minutes.
Can you open any car?
We can open virtually all passenger vehicle makes and models using non-destructive methods. Some newer vehicles with advanced security systems may take longer.
Is this legal?
Yes. We verify vehicle ownership through registration documents, driver's licence, or other identification before opening any vehicle.
I locked my keys in the boot — can you still help?
Yes. We can access the vehicle through a door lock and then release the boot from inside, or in some vehicles, access the boot lock directly.
How much does lockout service cost?
Lockout service costs R450–R1,200 depending on the vehicle type and lock complexity. We quote before dispatching.
Other non-towing roadside services include tyre changes and fuel delivery. If none of these solve the problem, we can tow your vehicle to a mechanic.
