No, absolutely not. Our automotive locksmiths use professional "non-destructive" entry tools, such as air wedges and specialised lock picks.
We do not use coat hangers or slim jims that can scratch your tint, damage weather seals, or disconnect internal wiring.
Your vehicle will remain in the exact same condition it was in before we arrived—just unlocked.
It depends on your specific policy. Many comprehensive insurance policies in New Zealand include a "Roadside Assistance" add-on that may cover some or all of the cost of a locksmith.
We recommend checking with your provider (such as AA, State, or AMI). We can provide a tax invoice on-site, which you can use to claim reimbursement if your policy allows.
Yes, locking keys in the boot is a very common issue.
While modern cars often have high-security deadlocks that make the boot harder to access than the cabin, our technicians are trained in specific techniques to bypass these systems or pick the boot lock directly to retrieve your keys.
Yes. If your car battery is flat and your remote won't work, you might be locked out even if you have the key fob in your hand.
We can manually unlock the vehicle door so you can pop the bonnet and jump-start the battery, getting you back on the road.
For your security and ours, we require proof of ownership or authority to enter the vehicle.
This usually means showing a driver's license that matches the registration papers inside the car (once unlocked) or having the key present inside the vehicle. This ensures we are only unlocking vehicles for their rightful owners.
