How a call works
No app, no account, no membership. Five steps from stuck to moving.
-
1
You call
A real person answers, usually on the second ring. Tell us where you are, what the vehicle is, and what has gone wrong.
-
2
You get a real time and a price
Not a window designed to keep you waiting. If we are finishing another job, we say so. The price you hear on the phone is the price you pay.
-
3
We come to you
Roanoke Valley calls are typically 10 to 20 minutes. Stay with your vehicle, well off the roadway, hazards on.
-
4
We check the vehicle is yours
A licence or registration that matches. Every customer, no exceptions. It protects your vehicle as much as everyone else’s.
-
5
You are moving again
Most unlocks take under five minutes once we arrive. Card and Cash App both work.
Stuck right now?
One call gets a real person, a real time, and a price before we roll.
What we do not do
Worth saying plainly. Knowing where the line sits is why the work we do take on gets done well, and it saves you a phone call.
Cutting or programming keys
If your keys are lost rather than locked inside, you need an automotive locksmith or your dealer.
Towing
We get you running where we can. If the vehicle needs to go on a truck, you need a tow operator.
Tire repair
We fit your spare. Plugs and patches are a tire shop’s job, and a shop should assess the tire anyway.
House and business lockouts
We are strictly automotive. Vehicles only.
Draining misfuelled tanks
Wrong fuel in the tank means a shop has to drain it. Do not start the engine, and call for a tow.
Mechanical repairs
We are roadside assistance, not a garage. We will tell you honestly when something needs a mechanic.
Where we bring them
Based in Roanoke, covering the valley and the surrounding counties around the clock.

What people say after the call
★★★★★ 5.0 from 100+ Google reviews
It was after 1:00am and not only did he answer on the second ring but he was here in under 7 minutes!! I will definitely be recommending him to all my friends and family!!
Great service! Got my door open in less than 5 minutes. Very affordable, very fast, and was there 18 minutes after i called. Highly recommend!!
I was most impressed with Lamont, he answered the initial call, and responded to the site within one half hour. He had all the tools and talent to get me back on the road. It’s obvious he takes great pride in his business. If you are locked out of your vehicle in the Roanoke Valley, Lamont is the right choice.
Locked my keys in my truck for the first time in 5 1/2 years of owning it. Lamont was extremely efficient and prompt. Super professional and a very nice guy. He was there quickly and had my Silverado unlocked in a matter of seconds and got me back on the road.
When I tell you, this man Lamont was a heaven sent angel — I locked my keys in the car while it was running and he was there in five minutes. Thank you so much!
Such a cool dude, super nice, really easy going. He answered first ring, was at my place in not even 20 mins, had my car unlocked AND jumped my battery in less than 5.
Lamont is a lifesaver! He was in Christiansburg when he received my call, he drove immediately to Salem to get my car unlocked in just a few short minutes. Very professional and fair prices!
My wife locked her keys in the car along with the spare set after returning home with a load of frozen groceries. Called Lamont at 8:00 pm on Sunday evening. He responded promptly and gave me an accurate arrival time.
Questions about our services
How fast can you get to me?
Inside the Roanoke Valley, most calls take 10 to 20 minutes to reach. Rocky Mount and Christiansburg take longer. You get a real time when you call, based on where we actually are.
Are you really open 24/7?
Yes. Nights, weekends and holidays. A large share of our calls come in between midnight and 6am, because that is when being stranded is worst and hardest to solve.
Do I need a membership?
No. No membership, no annual fee, no contract. You pay for the call you needed. Same help as an auto club without the yearly bill.
How much does it cost?
Vehicle lockouts are $80. Jump starts are $50. A tire change with your spare is $80. Fuel delivery is $50 plus the cost of the fuel. Semi truck lockouts are $125. Those rates cover our standard service area. Long distance and after-hours calls may add a travel fee, and you get the price on the phone before we head out.
What payment do you take?
Card and Cash App. Ask when you call if you need something else.
Do you make or program replacement keys?
No. We do not cut or program keys. We get you back into a vehicle when the keys are locked inside, and we handle jump starts, tire changes and fuel delivery.
Will you unlock any vehicle for anyone?
No. We ask you to show the vehicle is yours before we open it, with a licence or registration that matches. That protects you and every other vehicle owner.
Do you work on commercial trucks and vans?
Yes. Box trucks, work vans, tractors and fleet vehicles are routine. We take a lot of those calls at the Troutville truck stops and along I-81.
Need help right now?
Calling is the fastest way to get help. We answer 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
