A car lockout in New York City is frustrating — especially with traffic, parking meters running, and no easy way to help yourself. A licensed auto locksmith can open virtually any car using non-destructive techniques in just a few minutes. The key is calling a legitimate licensed professional with an upfront price.
What To Do — Step by Step
Check All Doors and the Trunk
Before calling anyone, walk around the car and try every door and the trunk. It sounds obvious but sometimes one is unlocked.
Check for a Spare Key
Do you have a spare key at home, with a family member, or in a magnetic lockbox? If so, retrieve it before calling a locksmith.
Call Your Roadside Assistance (AAA, Insurance)
If you have AAA or roadside assistance through your auto insurance, call them first. NYC response times can be slow (60-90 min), but it may be free.
