As many towing service professionals have found over the years, one of the most common problems faced by many drivers is accidentally locking themselves out of their vehicle. But what should you do when a lockout occurs, and how can you avoid this problem in the first place? The team at Discount Towing and Recovery in Mountain Home, AR, has the answers.

Whether you’ve locked your keys in the car or simply lost them while you were out and about, trying to break into your own vehicle almost always leads to trouble. After all, you don’t want to damage your car or have someone call the police because they think you’re trying to steal it! Instead, stay safe by calling a towing service. They’ll be able to help you gain access to your vehicle or tow it home if necessary.

Keeping a spare key fob on hand can also help you avoid trouble if you misplace a set of keys. Most cars come with two sets of keys, and some dealerships can provide extra key fobs if needed. Just check the status of your electronic key fobs on a regular basis. If you start noticing problems with your fob, getting it checked out by an automotive professional will help you avoid getting locked out when the power dies entirely.

Whether you need a jumpstart or a tow, the team at Discount Towing and Recovery can help you get safely home. To learn more about their towing service offerings, visit them online or call (870) 425-1775.
