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.
Tell us the Volkswagen 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.
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.
Modern car doors hold wiring, airbag sensors and window motors. We work slowly around them, and if your Volkswagen calls for a different approach, we say so before we start.
The quote covers the lockout. If we find something else once we're at the car, like a broken key stuck in the lock, we explain it and give you the price before doing anything about it.
If the key is gone for good, ask about a replacement when you call. We'll check what your Volkswagen model needs, and if it's a key we can cut and program, the technician we send brings the equipment for it.
Call to book a time that suits you, Monday through Saturday, 8am to 8pm.
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.
We send a mobile technician to the address you gave us. If anything changes on our side, we call to let you know.
Before any work starts, the technician asks to see a government issued ID.
The technician looks over the door and lock, then opens your Volkswagen with automotive entry tools, carefully and without forcing anything.
Once the door is open, you get your keys back and can check that everything inside is as you left it.
We make sure the locks on your Volkswagen work as they should before we leave, and you pay the price you were quoted.
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.
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.
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.
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.
If the key is gone, opening the door is only the first step. Mention it when you call so we can check what a new key for your model involves and send a technician equipped for it.
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. If your model needs a key we can’t make on site, we’ll tell you on the phone rather than send someone out.
MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY, 8AM TO 8PM
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.
Our mobile technicians cover Maryland, Washington DC and Northern Virginia, working out from Silver Spring to Baltimore, Frederick and Prince William County. We also serve San Diego County in California.
