Keys locked in car help

Keys locked in the car is the classic lockout situation, but newer vehicles can still make entry tricky. South Bay Auto Unlock asks for vehicle details first so the approach fits the car.

Common situations

  • Keys sitting on the driver seat, center console, cup holder, or floor.
  • Car locked while warming up or running.
  • App, keypad, or proximity fob failed to unlock the vehicle.
  • Purse, backpack, or work bag locked inside with the keys.

Dispatch details that matter

Tell us whether the keys are visible, whether the engine is running, and whether the vehicle is in a garage or paid lot. Those details affect arrival instructions and the service approach.
