What vehicle lockout service covers
Careful access help when the keys are locked inside.
Amp Rescue provides mobile vehicle lockout help when the keys are inside the vehicle and the situation can be handled safely. We respond to homes, workplaces, apartment communities, stores, parking areas, and safe roadside locations across the Triangle.
Tell dispatch where the keys are, what you drive, and whether the doors, trunk, or hatch are involved. Identification and proof that you are authorized to access the vehicle are required. Lost keys, broken keys, damaged locks, and key programming usually require an automotive locksmith or dealership.
Authorization is checked before access. Have identification and vehicle ownership, registration, rental, or other authorization information ready.
Vehicle lockout help
The details inside the vehicle matter.
Tell dispatch whether the keys are on a seat, in the ignition, or inside the trunk. Vehicle design and the type of lockout determine whether roadside access help fits the situation.
Before you call
Send the vehicle, location, and where the keys are.
Clear information helps us distinguish a standard keys-inside lockout from a lost key, broken key, damaged lock, or programming problem that needs a specialist.

What proof do I need?
Have identification and ownership, registration, rental, or other authorization information available before service.
Can you help if the keys are in the trunk?

Can Amp Rescue make or program a new key?
No. Lost keys, broken keys, key cutting, and fob programming require an automotive locksmith or dealership.
What if a child or person is locked inside?
Call 911 immediately. Do not wait for routine roadside service when anyone inside the vehicle may be in danger.
