Chevrolet Car Lockout Solution

It was just another Wednesday afternoon on W Carmel Drive in Carmel, Indiana. Sam, a busy business owner driving his 2010 Chevrolet Suburban, found himself in a frustrating situation that many of us have experienced – locked out of his own vehicle.

His conversation with our locksmith team went exactly like this:

The Phone Call That Started it All

Client: Hello?
Locksmith: Hello, this is the locksmith. How are you?
Client: I’m good, thank you.
Locksmith: I got a call that you need to unlock your car.
Client: Yes.
Locksmith: Are you in W Carmel Drive in Carmel?
Client: Yes. I’m on the North Side of the street.
Locksmith: Alright, I can be there in 15 minutes.
Client: Great! I’ll be here, sure. Thank you. Alright, bye-bye.
Locksmith: See you in a bit. Bye-bye.

With that simple exchange, we prepared to solve the problem efficiently and professionally.

Pro Tip: Why Lockouts Happen

A car lockout occurs for several reasons:

• Locked keys left inside the vehicle.
• A malfunction in the car lock or door handle.
• You lost or misplaced your car keys or fob.
• A drained battery in smart keys, making it impossible to unlock the car.

Priority Solution For Our Client

When our locksmith technician arrived at the location, the priority was clear: safely unlock the client’s 2010 Chevrolet Suburban without causing any damage. Here’s how the process unfolded step by step.

Step 1: Assessed the Situation

Upon arrival, we greeted the client and confirmed the details of the car lockout. The vehicle was indeed a 2010 Chevrolet Suburban, and the keys were locked inside the car. After confirming that, we assured the client that the issue would be resolved quickly and without damage to the car.

Step 2: Prepared the Tools

To safely unlock the car, we used a specialized inflatable wedge and a long-reach tool. They’re designed to create a gap in the car door without scratching or denting the surface.

For a smooth and damage-free service, we also sometimes use tools like:

• Slim Jim: Slides between the door and window to unlock older car models.
• Car lockout kits: A collection of all the highlighted tools in one handy package.

Step 3: Next, We Created Access

We inserted the inflatable wedge between the door frame and the car. Slowly inflating the wedge, we carefully created enough space to insert the long-reach tool without putting pressure on the door or damaging the vehicle’s weather stripping.

Step 4: Finally, We Unlocked the Door

With the gap created, we used the long-reach tool to access the car’s interior locking mechanism. Carefully maneuvering the tool, we unlocked the door in a matter of minutes. The process required precision and a steady hand to avoid triggering the car’s alarm or causing any damage to the locking system.

Step 5: How We Verified Success

Once the door was unlocked, we retrieved the client’s keys and handed them over. We also ensured the car’s locking system was still functioning properly and demonstrated that the vehicle could be securely locked and unlocked without any issues.

Client Satisfaction

The total service took less than 20 minutes, and the cost was a straightforward $125 – a small price for peace of mind and professional service. 

“Thank you so much! I was so worried about getting the door unlocked without damage, but you made it look so easy. I’ll definitely recommend your service to anyone in need!”

Their gratitude and relief were evident, and knowing we had turned their stressful situation into a hassle-free experience was immensely rewarding.

Tips to Prevent Future Car Lockouts

1. Keep a spare key: Store it in a secure place, such as at home or with a trusted friend.
2. Use a key finder: Attach a Bluetooth tracker to your keys to avoid losing them.
3. Check before locking: Always double-check that you have your keys or fob in hand before closing the door.
4. Use technology: Set up smartphone apps for remote unlocking if your car supports it.
