Car lockout help in Steveston Village
Most lockouts in Steveston happen in the village. You step out to grab a coffee on Moncton Street, mail a parcel at the post office inside the Steveston Museum, or walk along the waterfront off Bayview Street, and the keys are still on the seat when you get back. Modern cars that lock themselves catch people out too, with the fob sitting in a bag in the back. We come to the stall, open the door and hand you your keys. If the car also has a flat, our flat tire change can sort it before you leave.
We help with cars, SUVs, minivans and pickups. A key locked inside a pickup's tool box or a camper is a different job, so tell us exactly where the keys are. Locked out of a motorhome after a trip? Tell us when you call, and if it also won't start, our motorhome towing or RV towing crew can take it from there.

Car lockout while Steveston parking time runs out
Being locked out in a paid stall adds a second worry. Richmond's pay parking runs by the Pay By Phone app or by entering your plate at the meter, with phone sessions capped at two hours and the posted limits still in force. If your phone is in the car with the keys, ask someone nearby to look up the time left, then call us from their phone. We'd rather get your door open than see you collect a ticket, and if the car has to move before we can open it, we can shift it with car towing.
Locked out in a building instead? A car in a condo parkade near Imperial Landing or the village is still a lockout, as long as we can get to it, and the same goes for a jump start down there. Tell us the address, the level and whether someone can let us through the gate. If the car can't be driven out once it's open, that turns into underground towing, and we'll price it before we start.

Car lockout or a tow in Steveston, Richmond?
Most lockouts end with you driving away. A few don't. If the key is lost or broken in the lock, if the car has an immobiliser problem, or if the fob is dead and the car won't recognise a new battery, opening the door is only half the answer. In those cases we tell you on the spot and give you a price to take it to your dealer with flatbed towing or car towing.
Not sure which one you need? Send us a note with the car and where it is, and we'll tell you honestly. You can also read about our family to see who's coming, or browse our blog for more Steveston driving tips.
