It’s very likely that at some point, you’ll lock your keys inside your car and need to call for a Vancouver car lockout service. Why is this so common? Aside from having a generally bad, absent-minded day, sophisticated anti-theft systems and keyless ignitions are to blame. Although they are superior in protecting your car from theft, they can sometimes get you into less-than-ideal situations.
Whether you are generally just forgetful or are going through a rough time, you should be aware of your options should you lock your keys out.
If you’re concerned about fees, here’s a guide from ICBC regarding emergency roadside assistance expenses.
Call for Emergency Roadside Assistance
Calling our team at Bob’s Towing ensures you have 24/7 access to our services. So whether you locked your keys out at 5pm or 5am, you’ll feel at ease knowing there are professionals ready to serve you. This is especially important if you are stuck in a dangerous area. If you’re facing more than just a lockout and are experiencing engine failure, an empty gas tank or anything else, you can rely on us. Simply save our number in your glove compartment.
Call for 911
If you feel extremely uneasy, unsafe or are in a dangerous situation, please call 911. This will ensure your maximum safety and in most cases, the team that will arrive on-scene will be able to unlock most basic car doors. If they can’t, they’ll touch base with a towing company like us.
Always Have a Spare
This tip can save you in more than one scenario – always have a spare key! You can keep this spare in your bag or give it to a friend or family member to keep. That way, should you find yourself locked out of your car, you’ll easily be able to get back in without having to call for Vancouver car lockout services.
Have a Temp Key Made
If you’re locked out at a time of day where shops are open, you can have an inexpensive temporary key made at a dealer to get back inside your car. While this key won’t work in the ignition, it will get you back inside your car and give you access to your keys once again.
Invest in Another Car
If you often find yourself in trouble, whether due to absent-mindedness or your car’s system, it might be a good idea to buy a car with smart features. For example, some cars have a keypad instead of a key to enable you to get in while others won’t lock unless there is a key inside the ignition.
