Frequently Asked Questions
Will you damage my car getting it unlocked?
No. Our technicians use professional lockout tools specifically designed to open vehicle doors without causing any damage to the door panel, lock mechanism, weather stripping, or paint. We carry a full set of automotive lockout tools including air wedges, long-reach tools, and slim jims appropriate for each vehicle type. Our methods are the same ones used by dealerships and law enforcement across Johnson County.
Can you unlock newer cars with push-button start?
Yes, we have the tools and training to handle modern vehicles with push-button start, proximity key fobs, and electronic locking systems. This includes popular models from Toyota, Honda, Ford, Chevrolet, and luxury brands. Even if your key fob battery has died and the proximity sensor will not detect it, we can gain entry to your vehicle without damage. We also carry replacement key fob batteries for common vehicle models.
How long does it take to unlock a car?
Most vehicle lockouts are resolved in 5 to 15 minutes once our technician arrives on scene. Some newer vehicles with advanced security systems or unusual lock configurations may take up to 20 minutes. Our average lockout service time, from arrival to door open, is under 10 minutes. The total wait time including travel is typically 25 to 45 minutes in the Fairfax area.
What if my child or pet is locked in the car?
This is treated as a top-priority emergency and we dispatch the closest available technician immediately. If there is any sign of heat distress or immediate danger, call 911 first — Iowa law allows bystanders and first responders to break a window to rescue a child or animal in a hot vehicle. Then call IC Roadside & Key at (319) 963-2108 and we will expedite a technician to your location for vehicle access.
