First steps

Locked out of your car? Do this first

  • If a child or pet is inside, call 911 right away.
  • Check every door and the trunk — one may be unlocked.
  • Note the make, model and year, and your exact location or nearest intersection.
  • Have your ID and proof of ownership ready (registration or insurance, if accessible).

The process

How our car lockout service works

  1. Step 1

    Call with details

    Vehicle make, model, year and where it's parked in Winnipeg.

  2. Step 2

    Fee before travel

    We confirm the $15 service-call fee and an arrival estimate before we drive out; the full work price is explained and approved on-site.

  3. Step 3

    Ownership check

    Photo ID and proof the vehicle is yours — before or right after entry.

  4. Step 4

    Careful entry

    We use vehicle entry tools designed to avoid damage to paint, seals and locks.

Local advice

Winter lockout safety in Winnipeg

  • In extreme cold, wait somewhere warm nearby rather than beside the car.
  • Keep your phone battery warm in an inside pocket — cold drains it fast.
  • Don't force a frozen lock or door handle; it can break the mechanism.
  • Tell us if the car is running with the keys inside — it changes the urgency.
