Where we are straight with you
We open most vehicles cleanly, but not every car yields to a lockout tool, and some newer models with deadlocks or reinforced doors are genuinely difficult without the key. If yours is one we cannot open safely, we will say so rather than risk damage, and point you to the next right step. Here in Studio City, we say so before we start, not after.
How we keep it straight
Anywhere in Studio City, pick up the phone and we will walk through it before anything is committed.
Before we open a door, start a car or make a key, we confirm you have the right to be there — photo ID plus proof of residence, ownership, or authorization. It protects you as much as it protects us.
Rather than guess at a price online, we look at the lock or vehicle, explain your options, and give you the total up front. You approve it in writing before we start.
We answer around the clock, including nights, weekends and holidays. The same ID and authorization checks apply at 3 a.m. as at 3 p.m.
