Where lockouts happen in Amarillo
Car lockouts happen everywhere, but we see the same spots over and over:
- Gas stations all over town - easiest place to set your keys down and close the door
- Walmart parking lots (Coulter, Soncy, the I-40 location)
- Grocery stores on Georgia, Western, and Coulter
- Apartment complexes in San Jacinto and Wolflin - the auto-lock feature on newer cars causes a lot of these
- Office parking downtown and in the medical district
- The airport - both short-term and long-term lots
What we use
We carry slim jim tools, air wedge kits, and long-reach tools that let us manipulate the door lock mechanism without touching the glass. For newer vehicles with electronic locks, we use the appropriate tools for the lock type. We do not break windows. On the rare car where the lock mechanism cannot be reached without damaging the door, we will tell you before we try anything.
How long does a lockout take
Most lockouts in Amarillo take 5–10 minutes once we are on scene. Getting to you is usually the longer part. Most calls inside the city limits get a service truck there in 30 to 45 minutes. Give us your exact location when you call and we will give you an honest ETA.
What if your keys are broken off in the lock
A broken key in the door or ignition is a different job from a lockout. We can still get you into the vehicle, but extracting the broken key piece from the lock cylinder typically requires a locksmith. We will let you know which situation you are in and help you figure out the next step.
What about modern push-button start cars
Push-button start vehicles with key fobs still lock you out - the fob goes inside the car, the door shuts, and the car locks. Same fix. We open the door with lockout tools. You do not need the fob in hand to enter the vehicle this way.
