Few things can damper a day more than a car lockout — especially if you’ve got places to be. If you’re in the Thomasville, NC, area and can’t get into your car, call in the services of Garrett’s Towing & Recovery Service. In the meantime, check out their advice on how to avoid locking your keys in your vehicle.

Car Lockout Tips

1. Magnetize Key & Phone

It’s possible to leave your keys or phone in the car occasionally, but it’s less likely that you forget both at the same time as you go about your business. Attaching a magnet to both your keychain and phone will link these two valuables together, decreasing the odds of a car lockout.

2. Use the Fob to Lock the Car

24-hour roadside assistance is always there to help if you make a mistake. However, using the fob to lock your car will decrease your chances of locking yourself out of your automobile. Fobs are the remote key controls that lock and unlock the car with the click of a button. Having the key when you lock the door is a sure fire way to make sure you have your keys on hand after you park.

3. Replace Fob Batteries

Just because you’re able to lock the car with a fob doesn’t guarantee you’ll be able to unlock it when you return. Replacing the batteries in your fob regularly will lessen the need to call in a towing or car lockout service.
