We come to you, check your ID, and open your door with care. Need more help today? See our roadside assistance services for quick options like boosts and tire help.
A car lockout can feel scary, but it is fixable. First, stay safe and stand off the road. Check every door and the trunk before you panic. Then call us for a quick unlock in Vancouver BC. If you have Roadside Plus, you may be able to claim some costs through ICBC emergency roadside expenses. We aim to help without damage, even in rain or at night.
When you call, tell us where you are and what car you drive. We can meet you near YVR, BC Place, or a quiet street in Kitsilano. Our driver will confirm the vehicle is yours and then work on the door. If you also have a dead battery, ask about car battery boost services. For late-night help, see our 24 hour roadside assistance services. We keep the process simple and calm.

Vancouver has tight streets, busy bridges, and lots of parkades. We unlock cars in Downtown, Mount Pleasant, and around Commercial Drive. If you are stuck in a condo garage, our underground roadside assistance team is used to low-clearance spaces. If the lockout happens after you run out of gas, we can also bring help through fuel delivery services. Tell us your exact level and stall number if you are inside a parkade.
Towstar Towing and Recovery™ focuses on safe, clean work. We do not pry or force parts that can bend your door. We use tools made for vehicle lockout jobs and we explain each step in plain words. If your key fob is lost or the battery is dead, we can switch plans to car battery replacement services. If you find a nail or slow leak after the lockout, our tire repair services can keep you moving. One call can cover more than one problem.
Many lockouts happen at the worst time. You might also have a flat tire or low air when you finally get back in. That is why we offer mobile tire change services and tire air up inflation services around Vancouver BC. We can help you at a grocery lot, outside a school pickup, or on the shoulder near the Lions Gate Bridge. Ask what add-on help makes sense before we arrive.
If you lock keys in your car, do not smash a window unless there is a real danger. Glass can cut you and cost more. Keep kids and pets warm and call for help right away. For work vans and trucks, we can support bigger systems too, including heavy vehicle battery boost services. If you are parked on a hill, set the hazards and stand on the sidewalk side. Your safety comes first.

Most Vancouver BC lockouts happen in a hurry. You set groceries in the back seat, close the door, and the key is still inside. Sometimes a key fob falls into the trunk, or the auto-lock button is hit by accident. We handle vehicle lockout calls every day, so you will not feel judged. We show up, check ID, and work carefully until you are back in your car.
Newer cars can be tricky. Some have dead key fob batteries, some have a lockout alarm, and some will not open in a tight parkade. Tell us if you have a push-button start, a keypad, or a valet key. If you are using a phone app to unlock the door, try it while you wait. We can still help if the app fails, and we keep the job calm and safe.
If a child or pet is locked inside, treat it as urgent. Call us right away and stay by the vehicle so we can act fast. If the weather is hot or you see any danger, call 911 first. In Vancouver BC, heat can build up fast even on a cloudy day. We will guide you on what to do until help arrives, and we will not waste time.
People often ask, “how much does it cost to unlock a car?” The price can change by distance, time of day, and the type of lock. We give clear info on the phone so you know what to expect. If you are in a spot like a busy lane near Main Street, tell us so we can plan. Our goal is a quick, fair unlock and a door that still seals right.
If you searched “lockout service near me” in Vancouver BC, you likely need help now. Call Towstar and tell us your cross street and car model. We can meet you near Metrotown, the Seawall, or anywhere in the city. Keep your hazards on and stay in a safe spot while you wait. We will get you back inside and ready to drive again.
Yes, that is the goal. We use tools made for vehicle lockout work, and we choose the safest method for your car. We do not pry with random objects or force the window. Every model is different, so we may ask a few questions first. When we are done, you should still have a tight door seal and working locks.
Travel time depends on traffic, bridges, and where you are parked. The unlock part is often quick once we arrive. Many jobs take only minutes, but some newer cars can take longer. We will ask for your location, car make, and any special locks. If you are in a busy area like Downtown Vancouver, we plan for safe parking first.
Cost depends on the time of day, how far we drive, and the kind of lock. A simple door unlock is usually less than a full key replacement. We give you clear pricing info on the phone before we start. Towstar also has a full guide on our site about car lockout service cost in Vancouver. Ask about fees before anyone begins work.
