24/7 Emergency Vehicle Lockout Service

Lockout service starts at $59 between 7:00 AM and 6:59 PM and $99 between 7:00 PM and 6:59 AM. Your exact price depends on distance from our Norwood base, the time of day and the vehicle, and it is quoted and approved on the phone before we dispatch.

Typically 30 to 60 minutes across Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. Norwood, Oakley, Hyde Park, Kenwood and Madisonville are usually the quickest; outer Clermont and Butler County runs take longer and we give you a real window before you agree to anything.

No. We use damage-free entry tools — inflatable wedges, seal protectors and long-reach probes made for modern doors. No coat hangers, no slim jims and no broken glass. If a vehicle cannot be opened safely with those tools, we tell you before we come out.

Call 911 first, then call 513-879-1905. Fire and police are closer and are authorized to break a window if the child is in distress. We roll on these immediately and treat them as the top priority call on the board.

Call 911 first, then us. Interior temperatures climb dangerously fast in Ohio summer heat. We drop everything for these calls, but emergency services are the right first phone call every time.

Yes, and you should say it in the first sentence when you call. A running locked vehicle burns fuel, can overheat and is a carbon-monoxide hazard in an enclosed garage. We prioritize these calls above a standard lockout.

Yes. We answer and dispatch 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays. Only the pricing window changes: daytime rates run 7:00 AM to 6:59 PM and emergency after-hours rates run 7:00 PM to 6:59 AM.

Yes. Registration, an insurance card, a photo of the title or an ID matching the address where the vehicle is parked all work. It takes ten seconds and it is the reason you can trust that nobody is opening your car in a parking lot either.

No. Cutting and programming keys is locksmith and dealer work. We get you back inside your vehicle. If the key itself is lost or broken, we will tell you straight that a locksmith is your next call.

Usually yes. We open the cabin first, then use the interior trunk release or fold the rear seats down to reach it. Tell dispatch it is a trunk situation so the technician plans for it.

Yes. Push-button vehicles still have mechanical door linkage and a hidden key blade inside the fob. We open the door the same damage-free way, and we will show you where the hidden blade and hidden cylinder are on your model so it is easier next time.

Yes. Fleet lockouts run on the same 24-hour dispatch, and we can bill an account instead of chasing a driver for payment at the curb. One number and one invoice for the whole fleet.

Yes, we run highway calls with cones and lights. Get behind the guardrail on the side away from traffic while you wait, and call 911 first if the vehicle is stopped in a live lane.

Tell us the garage, the level and the ramp. Height bars, gate systems and one-way ramps decide how we get to you, and knowing before we leave saves you twenty minutes of a technician circling.

Sometimes. Many policies and memberships reimburse roadside service after the fact. We are not a membership club — we invoice you directly and give you a receipt with everything itemized so a reimbursement claim is easy to file.

After-hours pricing starts at $99 between 7:00 PM and 6:59 AM. That is not a penalty — it is what it costs to keep a technician and a stocked van available at 3:00 AM. There is no separate holiday surcharge on top of it.

It is rare, but a small number of vehicles cannot be opened safely with damage-free tools. If we get there and that is the case, we tell you, we point you to a locksmith or the dealer, and we do not charge you for a job we did not do.

Please don't. Modern doors carry airbag wiring, lock actuator linkage and side-impact sensors inside the panel, and blind tools tear all three. A $59 service call is cheaper than a door module, a window regulator or an airbag fault code.

No. We are a vehicle roadside company only. House, apartment and business lockouts are locksmith work and we will tell you that instead of taking the call.

Home base is 2219 Park Avenue in Norwood, Ohio. We cover Greater Cincinnati, all of Hamilton County, Clermont County, parts of Butler County and Northern Kentucky including Covington, Newport, Florence, Erlanger, Hebron and Independence. Distance affects the final price and we quote it up front.

Usually yes. A dead fob is not really a lockout — the mechanical key hidden inside the fob or the hidden cylinder under the handle cap often solves it in seconds. We will get you in and show you where both are on your vehicle.

Yes. Someone who can prove the vehicle is theirs has to be present. We do not open a vehicle for a friend, a neighbor or an employer over the phone.

Yes. Damage-free entry commonly sets an alarm off, and it stops the moment the key or fob is back in your hand inside the car. It is noise, not damage.

Plenty. If the battery is flat from a running-engine lockout, we jump start it. If you are out of fuel, we deliver. If a tire is low or flat, we repair, change or replace it. Say so on the phone and the technician loads for both jobs on one trip.
