Car Lockout Service

Locking yourself out of your car in NYC, outside a Manhattan parking garage, on a Brooklyn side street, mid-shift in a Queens delivery, or in a Bronx supermarket lot, is exactly the kind of situation SwiftLocksmith was built for. Our automotive locksmiths arrive in fully-stocked mobile vans across all five boroughs, typically within 20–30 minutes of dispatch (traffic depending), and use modern lockout tools that gain entry without scratching paint, bending door frames, breaking glass or damaging the weather seal. We service every category of vehicle on NYC streets: domestic sedans (Ford, Chevy, Dodge, Chrysler), Japanese and Korean imports (Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, Subaru, Mazda), European luxury (BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volvo, VW, MINI), exotic and high-end (Tesla, Porsche, Land Rover, Range Rover, Lexus, Genesis, Acura, Infiniti) plus pickup trucks, cargo vans and rideshare/livery vehicles.

Common situations we handle daily include: keys locked in the ignition or trunk, key fob locked inside with engine running, keys broken off in the door, sleeping pet or child locked inside (we treat these as emergency priority), tow-yard recoveries and rental returns at JFK/LGA. If your only key is lost or broken we can also cut and program a replacement transponder or smart key on-site so you don't need a $400+ tow to the dealership. Up-front, flat-rate pricing starts at $125 for a standard non-destructive entry; complex roadside programming for late-model push-to-start vehicles is quoted before any work begins.

We accept all major credit cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay tap-to-pay in the field, and email a fully itemized receipt for insurance reimbursement.
