It happens constantly
Keys on the driver seat with the doors locked. Keys in the boot. Engine running in a car park. A child or a dog in the back on a hot Texas afternoon. Wimberley Towing runs lockout calls every week and nobody on our team is going to make you feel stupid about it.
If there is a child or a pet in the car, say so first
Tell dispatch immediately when you call (512) 375-1215. In a Texas summer the inside of a locked car gets dangerous quickly, and that call gets treated as an emergency rather than a routine unlock. If it is already serious, call 911 first and us second.
How we get in
Purpose-made tools, used properly, on the door rather than the window. Modern cars have side airbags in the door, wiring in the pillar, and paint that costs money, so this is a job where the right tools matter more than force. We are not going to break your glass.
Some vehicles genuinely cannot be opened this way. Certain newer models, deadlocked cars, and some European locking systems need a locksmith or a dealer key. If yours is one of them, we will tell you rather than spend an hour failing, and we can flatbed the car to where the key is.
Where we do this
Car parks, driveways, the campus in San Marcos, the outlets in Buda, and the venue lots on the Fitzhugh Road tasting trail, which produce more of these than anywhere else.
