Locked out of your vehicle in Atlanta
Lockouts happen at the worst moments — a running car at a gas pump, a trunk that closed with the fob inside, a rideshare driver locked out mid-shift in Midtown. We provide mobile vehicle-access assistance so you are not waiting hours or breaking a window.
Situations we handle
- Keys locked inside the passenger compartment
- Key fob locked in the trunk, where access is possible through the vehicle
- Vehicle door lockout with the engine running
- Lockouts at home and in driveways
- Lockouts in parking lots and shopping centers
- Lockouts at workplaces and office decks
- Lockouts at apartment complexes and hotels
Proof of ownership or authorization
Vehicle-access work is only performed for the owner or an authorized driver. Expect to show identification and something connecting you to the vehicle — registration, insurance, a rental or fleet agreement, or another reasonable proof. A technician may decline service if ownership or authorization cannot be established.
If there is a child or a pet locked inside a vehicle, call 911 immediately. That is an emergency, not a roadside appointment.
Honest expectations about vehicle access
Our goal is to use appropriate professional roadside techniques to regain vehicle access while minimizing risk to the vehicle. We do not promise damage-free access as an absolute guarantee, because no honest provider can.
Not every vehicle can be opened at the roadside. Some newer vehicles, armored or heavily modified vehicles, certain deadlocking systems and vehicles with damaged locks may require a locksmith or a dealer. If that is the case, we will tell you rather than force an attempt.
What to tell us when you call
- Vehicle year, make, model and color
- Where exactly the keys are — seat, trunk, ignition
- Whether the vehicle is running
- Whether any window is open or unlocked
- Whether you have identification and proof of ownership with you
- Exactly where the vehicle is parked

Frequently asked questions
Can you unlock my vehicle if my keys are inside?
In most common lockout situations, yes. We use professional roadside vehicle-access techniques and require proof of ownership or authorization. Some vehicles cannot be opened at the roadside and will need a locksmith or dealer.
Will unlocking my car damage it?
Our goal is to regain access while minimizing risk to the vehicle. No provider can guarantee that outcome absolutely, and we will tell you if a particular vehicle carries higher risk before starting.
Do you make replacement keys?
No. Key cutting and fob programming are locksmith and dealer services. Lockout assistance is about regaining access to a vehicle whose keys are inside it.
What if my child or pet is locked in the car?
Call 911 immediately. Do not wait for a roadside dispatch.
What is the free tire check, and who gets it?
With a completed paid Trustee roadside service only, the technician can take a quick visual look at your four mounted tires, check PSI and add air to the manufacturer's recommended pressure, where safe and accessible. There's no extra charge for it. It is not a standalone service, not a formal inspection, and doesn't include tire repair or replacement.
