Car lockout service in Ottawa & Gatineau
Keys locked inside your vehicle? Call for mobile car unlocking, day or night. Service starts at $140 CAD including the service call, before tax and applicable surcharges.
Locked keys in your car? Tell us what happened
A car lockout can happen in a driveway, parking lot or outside a workplace. If your keys are inside the vehicle and you cannot regain access, call with your precise location and vehicle details. We provide vehicle entry assistance across Ottawa and Gatineau.
Describe whether the keys are visible, inside the passenger compartment or in the trunk. Mention any damage to the door or lock and whether identification is inside. These details help the technician assess the call; access to a trunk or a particular vehicle must be evaluated individually.
Car unlocking prices and approval before work
Car opening starts at $110 CAD. The mandatory service call charge is $30, bringing the minimum to $140 before tax and any applicable surcharge. An additional $50–100 may apply depending on the time and location of your call.
On arrival, the technician assesses your vehicle and explains the complete calculation before opening work begins. The $30 service call charge remains payable whether or not opening work proceeds or access is restored. See our pricing page for the full conditions.
An entry method suited to your vehicle
Different makes, models and locking systems require different assessments. Tell us the make, model and year, if known, when booking. The technician selects an appropriate approach after checking the vehicle.
We do not promise that every vehicle can be opened without damage or that every call takes the same amount of time. The proposed method and relevant risks are explained before work. We may ask for identification or proof that you are authorized to access the vehicle.
Need a key service instead?
If the keys are lost, broken or need programming, describe that when calling. Replacement keys and programming are assessed separately from the vehicle opening price.
