What Happens During a Lockout or Jump Start

The technician arrives with tools designed to unlock your vehicle without damaging the door frame, window seals, or electronic locks, and uses techniques that work on most modern cars and trucks. In Olney, this often means meeting drivers at gas stations, outside their homes, or along rural roads where cell service may be limited. For a dead battery, jumper cables or a portable power pack are connected to your battery terminals to provide the charge needed to start your engine.


Once the service is complete, your car door opens without scratches or bent metal, and your engine starts and runs long enough for you to drive to a parts store or mechanic if the battery needs replacement. You do not have to arrange a tow, wait for a family member to bring spare keys, or sit in your car for hours hoping someone will stop to help.


This service does not include battery replacement, key cutting, or mechanical diagnosis, but it does get you back inside your vehicle and back on the road in most situations. If your battery is completely dead and will not hold a charge even after a jump, the technician can discuss towing options or recommend next steps based on your location.

What happens if my battery is too old to hold a charge?
The technician will attempt the jump start, but if your battery cannot hold enough charge to keep the engine running, you will need to have the battery replaced or have the vehicle towed to a shop. The technician can help you decide which option makes the most sense based on where you are.

Why is a jump start better than calling a family member for help?
A jump start from a trained technician is done correctly with equipment designed to prevent electrical damage, and you do not have to wait for someone to leave work or drive across town. The technician also knows how to identify signs that your battery or alternator may need attention.

What should I do if I am locked out on a rural road with no cell service?
If you can reach a location with cell service, call as soon as possible and provide the closest intersection or mile marker. If you cannot get service, try flagging down a passing vehicle and asking them to call on your behalf once they reach a signal.
