SUVs, vans & trucks
Quoted on the callFull-size SUVs, pickups, cargo vans, box trucks, commercial cabs and fleet vehicles. Heavier doors, deeper frames and different linkages make these genuinely different work, so you get a real number for your specific vehicle instead of a range that means nothing.
- Tell us the year, make and model
- Exact price before anyone is sent out
- Cab and load-area lockouts
- Fleet and commercial vehicles welcome
What the price includes. The call-out and opening the vehicle. That is it — there is no separate trip fee, no fuel surcharge and no after-hours line item waiting at the end. You hear the number on the phone before anyone is sent, and it does not move once your door is open.
Why We Publish One Price and Quote the Rest
Plenty of lockout advertising works on a bait number — a very low headline figure that turns into something else once someone is standing next to your car and you are in no position to argue. It is effective and it is dishonest, and it is the main reason people dread making this call.
The alternative is not to publish nothing. It is to publish the number for the case that actually covers most callers, hold to it, and be straight about the cases it does not cover.
So a standard car is $125, stated here in public where you can hold us to it. Larger and commercial vehicles get a real quote in the thirty seconds it takes you to say what you drive — not a range, a number.
And on the rare vehicle that will not open without damage, the technician stops and tells you so on the spot instead of forcing it and handing you a bigger bill than the one you called about.
One Rate Across the Whole Service Area
There is no zone pricing here. A standard car costs the same in Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, The Bronx, Staten Island and Nassau County, whether that means a Midtown garage or a driveway at the far end of Long Island. Every service is priced the same way too — an ordinary car lockout, a trunk lockout and a dead key fob are the same job underneath.
Questions About What It Costs
Is $125 really the whole price?
For a standard car, yes. It covers the call-out and opening the vehicle. There is no separate trip charge, no fuel surcharge and no "after hours" line added at the end. You are quoted on the phone before anyone is sent, and that quote is what you pay.
What counts as a standard car?
Sedans, coupes, hatchbacks and small-to-mid crossovers — the great majority of private vehicles on the road. Full-size SUVs, pickups, cargo vans, box trucks and commercial vehicles fall outside it and are quoted individually.
Why are larger vehicles not priced on the site?
Because the honest range is wide. A pickup, a Sprinter and a box truck have genuinely different doors, frames and linkages, and one published number would either overcharge the simple ones or undercut the difficult ones. Naming your vehicle on the call takes about ten seconds and gets you a real figure instead of a range.
Do you charge more at night or on holidays?
No. $125 at 2am on New Year's Day is $125. Most lockouts happen at inconvenient hours by their nature, and charging extra at exactly the moment someone is stuck outside is a practice worth refusing.
Do you charge more for far parts of the service area?
No. Tottenville, Far Rockaway, Massapequa and Midtown are all the same price. There is no mileage charge and no zone pricing.
How do I pay?
Major credit and debit cards and contactless mobile payment. If you run a fleet and would rather be invoiced than have drivers paying at the roadside, ask about it on the call.
What if you cannot open my car?
It is uncommon, but a small number of vehicles have anti-theft designs, prior damage or aftermarket modifications that defeat standard lockout tools. If yours turns out to be one of them, the technician stops rather than forcing the vehicle, explains exactly why, and points you at an automotive locksmith who can help. Ask about the charge in that situation when you call.
Could my insurance or credit card cover this?
Quite possibly, and it is worth a look if you are not in a hurry. Many auto policies, credit cards and manufacturer warranties include a lockout benefit. The trade-off is that they subcontract the work out, so you have less control over the timing.
