What Is a Car Unlock Service?
A car unlock — or lockout service — gets you back into a vehicle when the keys are locked inside, lost, or stuck in the trunk. Most Valuable Towing uses professional non-destructive entry tools: an air wedge to create a small gap and a long-reach tool to release the lock or handle. No coat hangers, no slim-jims, no broken windows. The door opens the way it's meant to, and your vehicle is undamaged.
Keys Locked in the Car — What Should You Do?
First, check every door and the trunk — it's easy to miss one in the stress of the moment. If you're truly locked out, don't try to force entry with improvised tools; on modern vehicles that's how windows crack and door electronics get damaged. If a child or pet is locked inside, or you're in an unsafe spot, call 911 first. Otherwise, call Most Valuable Towing — we carry the right tools and reach most Ottawa locations quickly.
How Most Valuable Towing Handles a Lockout in Ottawa
One call and we dispatch a technician with non-destructive entry tools. Whether you're stranded on Highway 417 / the Queensway or in a lot near downtown Ottawa, we route the closest available truck to you. On arrival, the technician confirms it's your vehicle, then uses an air wedge and reach tool to open the door without marking the paint or bending the frame. Most standard lockouts are open in minutes — and your car is no worse for it.
Why Non-Destructive Entry Matters
Older lockout tricks — coat hangers and slim-jims — are risky on modern cars. Today's doors route window regulators, side-airbag sensors, and lock wiring through the door cavity, and a metal tool jammed into the gap can damage any of them, turning a lockout into an expensive repair. Non-destructive entry tools work from the outside without reaching into that wiring. Most Valuable Towing uses them on every unlock so the only thing that changes is that your door is open.
Common questions about unlock service in Ottawa
Will unlocking my car cause any damage in Ottawa?
Not when it's done properly. Most Valuable Towing uses professional non-destructive entry tools — an inflatable air wedge and a long-reach tool — that open the door from the outside without bending the frame or marking the paint. We avoid slim-jims and coat hangers, which can damage the window regulator, lock wiring, and side-airbag sensors routed through modern car doors.
What if my keys are locked in the trunk?
We can still help. Most vehicles allow trunk access through the cabin or via the lock mechanism once the door is open, so the usual approach is to unlock a door first and then reach the trunk. Tell the dispatcher your vehicle's make and model when you call so the technician arrives with the right plan for your car.
How fast can you reach me if I'm locked out in Ottawa?
We dispatch immediately. Response time depends on your exact location and traffic, but we reach most Ottawa locations quickly and give you a realistic ETA when you call. If there's a child or pet locked inside or you're in an unsafe location, call 911 first — then call us.
