The best thing to do when you lock your keys in your car is to call a licensed locksmith. http://www.a-1locksmiths.com/about-us/ There are a lot of companies (locksmiths) that will get keys out of a locked vehicle that are not licensed, bonded or insured. These companies (locksmiths) may quote you a service call over the phone around $20-$30 plus labor. The company (locksmith) may refuse to give you an exact price to unlock your vehicle. The company (locksmith) may go so far as to lie to you and tell you that it depends on the year make and model of the vehicle as well as the tools they have to use to unlock the vehicle. You will want to find a company (locksmith) that will give you a flat fee to unlock your vehicle, a company such as ours. http://www.a-1locksmiths.com/automotive-services/
If a company (locksmith) refuses to give you a definitive price you can bet they will charge you much more than what they quoted you after they unlock your vehicle. It is also important to ask a locksmith if they are licensed. Locksmiths are required by the state to be licensed and insured. You can ask them their company license number and visit http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/psb/ to verify that their license number is valid and their insurance is up-to-date. It is a big risk to use a locksmith that is not licensed as they are not regulated by the state. In the event that one of their technicians does any damage to your vehicle while unlocking it, getting them to repair it will be a hassle and most likely will not happen. If they overcharge you to unlock your vehicle and you do not pay they will use intimidation tactics to get you to pay them. Do not pay them. Call the police prior to paying the technician if this happens to you and then call us to service your vehicle.
