RBG Towing & Recovery Inc provides vehicle lockout services in Chicago, Illinois for drivers who have locked their keys inside their car, truck, or SUV.

Regain Access Without Breaking Glass

When you close the door and realize your keys are sitting on the seat or hanging in the ignition, you are locked out with no way to start the engine or retrieve your belongings. This happens in Chicago parking lots, residential driveways, and street parking spaces every day, often when you are rushing or distracted. RBG Towing & Recovery Inc responds with tools designed to unlock vehicle doors without breaking windows, damaging door seals, or scratching paint, so you can get back inside quickly and continue your day.

Vehicle lockout services use specialized tools such as wedges, long-reach devices, and lock manipulation instruments to create a small gap in the door frame, reach the interior lock button or handle, and release the latch. The process works on most passenger vehicles, trucks, and SUVs, and it avoids the cost and inconvenience of replacing a broken window or calling a locksmith who may take longer to arrive. Once the door is open, you retrieve your keys, start the engine, and go about your business without further delay.

If you are locked out of your vehicle in Chicago, call RBG Towing & Recovery Inc at (312) 825-2365 to request fast lockout assistance.

How Safe Entry Methods Work


When the technician arrives at your vehicle in Chicago, they assess the door type and choose the appropriate tool to create access. A wedge is inserted carefully into the door frame to create a narrow opening, and a long-reach tool is threaded through the gap to press the unlock button or pull the interior handle. The door opens without prying or forcing, and the frame returns to its original position once the wedge is removed.

After the lockout service is completed, your door functions normally with no visible damage to the weatherstripping or paint. You unlock the vehicle with your key fob or manual lock as usual, and there are no gaps or leaks where the door meets the frame. You do not need to file an insurance claim or schedule body shop repairs, and you avoid the stress of figuring out how to replace a broken window in the middle of your day.

This service works throughout Chicago in parking garages, commercial lots, and residential streets where you have locked your keys inside a car, truck, or SUV. It does not include programming new key fobs, cutting replacement keys, or unlocking vehicles with complex electronic security systems that require dealer-level equipment. If your key is lost rather than locked inside, the technician can recommend a locksmith or dealership for key replacement.

Concerns drivers have during a lockout

Drivers who are locked out of their vehicle often worry about the time it will take, whether the door will be damaged, and what to do if the engine is running with the keys inside.

How long does it take to unlock a vehicle?
Most vehicle lockouts are resolved in 10 to 20 minutes once the technician arrives. The time depends on the door design, the location of the lock button, and whether the window can be accessed safely.
Will the lockout service damage my door or window?
The tools used for lockout services are designed to protect the door frame, weatherstripping, and paint. The technician applies controlled pressure to create a small gap without bending metal or cracking plastic trim.
What if my engine is running with the keys locked inside?
If your engine is running, the technician prioritizes fast entry to prevent fuel waste and reduce safety risks. The same tools are used, and the goal is to unlock the door before the fuel tank empties or the vehicle overheats.
Can you unlock vehicles in Chicago parking garages?
Yes, lockout services are available in Chicago parking garages, covered lots, and residential areas. The technician works in the space available and does not require towing equipment or open clearance.
What if I lost my keys instead of locking them inside?
If your keys are lost, the lockout service cannot help because there is nothing to retrieve from inside the vehicle. You will need to contact a locksmith or your vehicle dealership to have a replacement key made and programmed.
