Stay visible and secure

If you are locked out on a busy street, move to a safe, well-lit area while keeping your vehicle in sight. Avoid standing near traffic lanes.

  • Turn on hazard lights if you can access them.
  • Keep children and pets close and away from traffic.
  • Let a friend or family member know where you are.

Avoid risky DIY tools

Coathangers and makeshift tools can damage weather stripping or trigger airbags. Professional lockout tools are safer for modern vehicles.

What ARS needs to dispatch

Be ready to share your vehicle make and model, current location, and whether keys are visible. This helps our technician arrive prepared.

Damage-free entry
