I Locked My Keys in My Car… Now What?

Locking keys in the car has become both more and less frustrating with modern design. On the one hand, the older tricks don’t work as well, but on the other, many of the new GMC vehicles available at Patriot Buick GMC feature connected services that make it easy to fix. We’re here to help you fix this issue quick — read on to learn more.

Get Your Spare

The easiest solution to this problem is to already have a spare key ready. Often, when you buy your car, you’re given two keys by the dealership. If you’re the only person driving the vehicle, make sure to keep the extra key in a safe and memorable place, and a lockout will be easy to solve.

Use Your App

Many GMC vehicles feature connected services, which lets you open and close the doors, as well as starting the engine and setting the perfect temperature, remotely from your cell phone. If you have a subscription, you can open your doors right from the app. Many new vehicles come with complimentary subscriptions to connected services, so make sure you check if you’re eligible before calling the locksmith.

Call a Locksmith

If you don’t have a spare key or remote access to your car’s lock, it’s time to call a locksmith. Many of the older tricks to opening a locked car don’t work with modern locks. Instead of risking damage to your car door, leave the problem of getting your keys out to a trained professional.
