No one wants to get locked out of their car, but if you follow some of the tips from the MAZDA service experts at Baglier Mazda you may not have to deal with this annoying situation ever again! At the very least, we can help you take some of the hassles out of it and make the experience a less irritating one.
Here’s what we think drivers should do to minimize their chance of a lockout and what they should do if they end up locked out anyway.
Preparing for a Lockout
The best way to get back into a locked car is obviously a key, but if your keys are inside of the vehicle, you’re usually going to end up dealing with quite the inconvenience. That’s why having a spare key around is such a good idea! Your car should have come with an extra key.
If you didn’t get a spare or you’re not sure what happened to it, the dealer who sold you the car should be able to help. Keep it in a good spot in your house or apartment or keep it with someone you can trust who would be able to bring it to you if you’re locked out of your car.
Dealing with a Lockout
If you don’t have that spare key, getting back into your car might be a bit more difficult. Some of the best options for getting back in include:
Roadside assistance programs: If you’re signed up for a roadside assistance program, they could offer services to help you with a lockout.
Ask your dealer for a spare: If you can get to the dealership that sold you the car, they should be able to make you a new spare key that will at least open the door of your vehicle. This will probably cost money though.
Call for a tow: If you can’t get your car open in any other way, a tow truck might be able to help. A towing company should know a locksmith who can assist you.
