Car Lockout Assistance in the San Fernando Valley
Locking your keys inside the car is one of the most common roadside problems drivers face. It can happen anywhere: at a grocery store parking lot on Ventura Boulevard, at LAX long-term parking, or in your own driveway. FreeTowNow provides fast, non-destructive car lockout service across the San Fernando Valley and the Santa Clarita Valley.
How we unlock your car
Our technicians use professional-grade lockout tools designed to open vehicle doors without causing damage. Depending on your vehicle type, we use one of these methods:
- Air wedge and long-reach tool: A small inflatable wedge creates a gap at the door frame. A slim tool reaches inside to press the unlock button or pull the handle.
- Slim jim: For older vehicles with manual lock rods, a flat metal strip slides between the window and weather stripping to manipulate the lock mechanism.
- Transponder bypass: For some modern keyless-entry vehicles, we can generate a temporary signal to unlock the doors.
All makes and models
We unlock Toyota, Honda, Ford, Chevrolet, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Tesla, Hyundai, Kia, and every other make on the road. Whether you drive a 2024 model or a 1995 classic, our technicians carry the right tools for the job.
A real scenario
You stop for coffee on Colorado Boulevard in Burbank and leave your keys on the passenger seat. The door locks automatically when you close it. You call FreeTowNow, and a technician arrives in 18 minutes. Using an air wedge and a long-reach tool, the tech opens your door in under two minutes. No scratches on the paint, no damage to the door frame, no broken glass.
After-hours lockouts
Lockouts happen at all hours. We respond 24/7 with the same 15 to 25 minute average arrival time, whether it is 10 AM or 3 AM. If you are stranded in an unsafe area late at night, tell our dispatcher and we will prioritize your call.
Insurance and pricing
Many auto policies from State Farm, Geico, Progressive, Allstate, and Farmers include lockout service as part of roadside assistance coverage. We verify your benefits on the spot and bill your insurer when applicable.
