Locked out of your Fiat?
Fiat's return to the US brought a lot of 500s, along with the bigger 500L and 500X and the 124 Spider roadster. They're small, simple cars to live with, and a lockout on one is usually simple too. We come to wherever it's parked, from a tight spot in Adams Morgan to a garage in Silver Spring, and get you back in.
What to expect when you call
Proper entry tools
Coat hangers and slim jims belong in the past. Our technicians use automotive entry tools made to open a door without bending the frame or tearing the weatherstripping.
Quote before we drive out
Tell us the Fiat model, the year and where it’s parked. You get a quote on the phone, and that’s what you pay unless you ask us for extra work.
ID check up front
Before the technician starts on the door, we ask to see a government issued ID. It takes a few seconds and keeps us from opening a car for someone it doesn’t belong to.
Careful around the electronics
Modern car doors hold wiring, airbag sensors and window motors. We work slowly around them, and if your Fiat calls for a different approach, we say so before we start.
No hidden fees
The quote covers the lockout. If we find something else at the car, like a broken key stuck in the lock, we explain it and give you the price before doing anything about it.
Key lost instead of locked in
If the key is gone for good, ask about a replacement when you call. If it’s a key we can cut and program, the technician brings the equipment for it.
How does our Fiat lockout service work?
You call us
Call (855) 588-0198 and tell us where you are, what you drive and what happened. You get a quote and a realistic arrival time on the same call.
A technician heads out
We send a mobile technician to the address you gave us. If anything changes on our side, we call to let you know.
ID check first
Before any work starts, the technician asks to see a government issued ID.
Opening the door
The technician looks over the door and lock, then opens your Fiat with automotive entry tools, carefully and without forcing anything.
Keys back in hand
Once the door is open, you get your keys back and can check that everything inside is as you left it.
A final check
We make sure the locks on your Fiat work as they should before we leave, and you pay the price you were quoted.
Common Fiat lockout situations
Keys locked in your Fiat
The keys are on the seat or in the cupholder and every door is locked. Smart key cars try to prevent it, but a fob in a bag or a door locked by hand can still get past that.
Fiat key fob not working
A weak fob battery or a flat car battery can leave the buttons doing nothing. We open the door by hand, and from there you can check the fob battery or the car battery.
Fiat trunk lockout
Keys in the trunk, or a trunk that won’t release with the button or the fob. We usually get in through a door first and go from there.
Broken key in a Fiat lock
An old or worn key can snap off in the door lock or the ignition. We extract the broken piece and let you know whether the lock or the key needs attention afterward.
How we open a locked Fiat
Most Fiat 500s use a flip key with a chip in the head and a classic door lock you can see. Some 500X and 500L models came with keyless entry and a fob that hides an emergency key. The 124 Spider and the 500c have fabric roofs, and we never cut or lift a soft top to get in. Whatever the model, the lock and the roof stay exactly as they were.
Before you call: quick checks for Fiat owners
Start with the spare key, if there is one and someone can bring it. If your Fiat is connected through the Uconnect app, see whether remote unlock is available on your model. If the fob simply stopped working, a fresh battery is the first thing to try once you're back inside.
Lost or damaged Fiat key?
What a replacement key involves depends on the year. Older cars take a plain cut key. Most cars built since the late 1990s have a transponder chip in the key, and many newer ones use a remote head key, a flip key or a smart key. The technician we send can cut and program many of these on site.

Is a Fiat lockout any different from other cars?
Not much. Fiats are small cars with simple doors, so a lockout is usually quick to sort out. The main thing we watch for is the soft top on a 124 Spider or a 500c, which we leave completely alone.
What should I do if my Fiat key broke in the lock?
Leave the broken piece where it is and don’t try to turn what’s left. We remove it with extraction tools, check that the lock still works, and talk you through a new key if you need one.
Which areas do you cover?
Our mobile technicians cover Maryland, Washington DC and Northern Virginia, working out from Silver Spring to Baltimore, Frederick and Prince William County.
