Who do you call when your keys are locked in the car?
"If I lock my keys in the car, who can I call? My used car only came with one key. I know I can order another one from the dealer, but I don't have the extra money right now."

“Locking your keys in the car is something that happens to everyone at least once in their lives! It’s wise to have a plan in place.
You can call a locksmith service specializing in cars like Pop-a-Lock or check with a local towing company. If you have a roadside assistance package with your insurance company, they can probably assist you too. Most carriers have a $75-$100 limit on locksmith services.
Check your key and your car’s owner’s manual to verify what type of key you have. If you have an older model vehicle, a replacement key might only be between $4-$10 dollars. If you have a transponder key, a duplicate can be around $250 or $500 if you have a luxury car. Get prices from auto locksmiths and the dealer to see who has the lowest price for duplicate keys.
