24/7 Emergency Car Key & Lockout Service

You come out of Oglethorpe Mall or a Pooler Tanger Outlets store and realize your keys are sitting on the seat. The car is locked. We dispatch to parking lots throughout the Savannah metro area and have most vehicles open within 15 minutes of arrival. Call, give us your location and vehicle, and we handle the rest.

You are at Savannah-Hilton Head International Airport and realize your key fob is dead or lost. You need to be on a flight or you just landed and cannot get into your car. We respond to the airport and surrounding areas and can program a replacement fob or cut a new key on-site. For airport situations, call us from the terminal -- we dispatch while you are waiting.

A driver locks the keys inside a delivery van at a customer site. A crew member cannot get into a work truck at a commercial job site. A fleet vehicle fails to start because of a transponder issue during a delivery run. These are priority dispatches. We respond to commercial vehicle emergencies throughout South Georgia and treat fleet lockouts as urgent service calls.

You come home from a night shift, a late dinner, or a long drive and realize you locked yourself out. It is midnight. We dispatch for residential lockouts around the clock, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Home lockouts in the Savannah area typically see a technician within 30 to 45 minutes of the call. We open the door, and if you want to rekey the lock immediately, we can handle that on the same visit.

In Georgia summer conditions, the interior of a locked vehicle reaches dangerous temperatures within minutes of parking. A 90-degree ambient temperature produces an interior above 130 degrees in under 20 minutes. If a child or animal is locked inside a vehicle in South Georgia heat, call 911 immediately -- do not call a locksmith first. Police and fire units are authorized to take immediate emergency action including breaking a window, and they respond faster. Every minute counts. Once the immediate safety situation is resolved, call us for the vehicle opening or key replacement.

The most common South Georgia summer emergency we handle is not a lockout -- it is a smart key fob that fails to start a vehicle because the battery has dropped below the recognition threshold. The fob appears to have charge but the vehicle will not start. Before calling us, try holding the fob directly against the start button (or door handle on some vehicles) -- many push-to-start systems can read the transponder chip at very close range with a depleted battery. Most fobs also contain a physical backup blade key that opens the door mechanically. If neither approach works, call us -- we bring replacement batteries for all common fob designs and can reprogram a fob that lost its programming when the battery died completely.

South Georgia's major highway corridors -- I-95 running the length of the coast, I-16 connecting Savannah to Atlanta, and US-17 following the historic coastal route -- carry heavy traffic at all hours. If your key emergency leaves you stopped on a highway shoulder, the roadside situation is the first safety priority. Move as far from the travel lanes as possible. Keep hazard lights running. If the shoulder is narrow or traffic is fast, exit the vehicle and stand behind the guardrail away from traffic. When you call us, give your mile marker, the nearest exit number, or a visible landmark. We dispatch to highway locations as a priority -- a motorist on a shoulder is a safety situation -- and we will coordinate the safest approach to reach your vehicle.

Savannah's tourism economy means a large population of people in the area who have no local contacts, no familiarity with local services, and no backup plan for a vehicle emergency. Visitors locked out at a hotel in the Historic District, travelers at the airport whose rental car key fob is dead, tourists whose key was lost during a Forsyth Park visit -- these are situations we handle regularly and with the same urgency as local calls. For visitors, we need your current location, your vehicle information, and a form of identification. If your documentation is locked in the car, your phone's insurance app or a photo of your rental agreement is typically acceptable. We give you an honest arrival estimate and stick to it.
