Vehicle Lockout Situations
Our lockout assistance can assist with a variety of situations, including:
- Keys locked inside your vehicle
- Keys accidentally left in your trunk or cargo area
- Lost or misplaced keys
- A key fob that is not working properly
- A vehicle lock that is not functioning as expected
- Your vehicle has locked while the keys remain inside
The circumstances of a lockout can vary, and the appropriate approach can depend on your vehicle and its locking system.
Professional Lockout Assistance
When you request Lockout Services, our tow truck drivers use specialized automotive entry tools and standard industry methods to assist with gaining access to your vehicle.
The method used can vary depending on your vehicle and its locking system. Modern vehicles may have electronic locking systems and other features that differ from older vehicles, while some vehicles have separate locking mechanisms for the doors, trunk, or cargo areas. The equipment and approach used can depend on the vehicle’s design and the type of lockout you are experiencing.
Lost Keys and Key-Related Problems
Not every situation involving your vehicle’s keys is a traditional lockout. If your keys have been lost or misplaced, getting into your vehicle may be only part of the problem. You may also need a replacement key or another service to operate your vehicle after access has been restored.
A key fob that is not working can also have several possible causes. The issue may involve the fob battery, the vehicle’s locking system, or another component. Depending on the circumstances, additional service may be necessary after you regain access to your vehicle.
If your keys have been lost or you need a replacement key, a locksmith or other key service may be necessary after access to your vehicle has been restored.
AAA also provides additional information about what to do when you lose your car keys, including ways to keep track of your keys and prepare for a lost-key situation.
Lockout Assistance for Different Vehicles
Vehicle lockouts are not limited to one type of vehicle. These services may be needed for cars, SUVs, pickup trucks, vans, and other personal vehicles.
Some vehicles use traditional keys, while others use key fobs, electronic locking systems, or a combination of different access methods. These differences can affect how access to your vehicle is approached.
Because of these differences, information about your vehicle can be useful when requesting assistance. Providing the year, make, and model, along with an explanation of what happened, gives our dispatch team useful information about the service you need.
