What to Do When You Lock Your Keys in the Car

[StKeegan]

Here are the methods to handle the situation when you lock your keys in the car: 1. Spare key. Generally, when purchasing a car, you will receive two keys—one for daily use and another as a spare. 2. Key replacement. You can go to a 4S store to get a new key. If they have it in stock, it can usually be done quickly. If not, they will need to request one from the manufacturer, which typically takes 3–5 days. 3. Remote unlocking. By calling the OnStar customer service number and verifying the vehicle's accurate information, they can remotely unlock the car door. 4. Contact a locksmith. However, the owner must verify whether the locksmith company has relevant qualifications, is registered with the public security department, and holds training certificates. Also, ask the locksmith to show their work permit to prove their professional qualifications. 5. Break the car window. Choose the triangular glass on the rear window to break, as this type of glass is not too expensive and won’t cause much hindrance while driving.
