Car Lockout Service in Plainfield, IL
BJ Towing provides 24/7 car lockout service in Plainfield, Illinois. A technician comes to your location and opens the vehicle with professional lockout tools, leaving the lock, glass and seals untouched. Call (708) 400-3917 and we’ll be on the way.
How our lockout service works
- Call and tell the dispatcher where you are, the make and model, and whether the engine is running or a child or pet is inside.
- The technician arrives with the lockout kit sized for your vehicle.
- We confirm the vehicle is yours (ID and registration or insurance card) and open it, usually within a few minutes of arrival.
- We check that the car locks and unlocks normally before we leave.
Lockout situations we handle
- Keys locked inside the cabin or the trunk
- A running car locked with the keys in the ignition or the fob inside
- A fob that won’t unlock the doors because its battery died or its software hiccupped
- Keys that vanished somewhere between the pump and the store
- Children or pets locked inside: call 911 first, then call us and we’ll respond immediately
Put down the coat hanger
Fishing for the lock with a bent wire or a screwdriver is the most expensive way to get into a car. We’ve seen it wreck door seals and scratch glass, turning a quick lockout into a body-shop visit. Our technicians use wedges, long-reach tools and protective guards made for the job, so nothing on the door is harmed.
What a lockout service can't do
We open vehicles; we don’t cut or program keys. If your key is lost rather than locked inside, we can get you into the car, but you’ll need a locksmith or dealership for a replacement. For some newer push-button vehicles, opening the door doesn’t start the car, so tell the dispatcher the situation and we’ll give you honest advice, including a flatbed tow to the dealer if that’s the practical answer.

Car Lockout Service FAQs
Will you damage my car getting in?
No. Our technicians use tools designed for vehicle doors, with protective guards for the paint and seals. The lock, the glass and the weather stripping come through untouched.
Can you make me a new key?
No. We open the vehicle; key cutting and fob programming are locksmith or dealership services. If you've lost the only key, we can tow the car to the dealer or your locksmith.
What do I need to show you?
A photo ID and your registration or insurance card once the car is open. It's a quick step that makes sure we're only opening vehicles for their owners.
