Car Lockout Service in Ucluelet, Tofino and Port Alberni
Keys locked in the car at Long Beach, in a resort lot in Tofino, or outside the grocery store in Port Alberni? Ukee Towing provides 24/7 non-destructive vehicle lockout service across the West Coast. No tow truck needed, no broken window, and no long wait for a locksmith from out of town.
What our lockout service includes
- Non-destructive entry using professional lockout tools, so your door, window, weatherstrip and paint stay as they were.
- Most makes and models: cars, pickups, SUVs, vans, campers and RVs. Tell us the year, make and model when you call and we will confirm on the spot.
- Keys locked in the trunk or cargo area, and vehicles where a child or pet is inside, which we treat as an emergency and dispatch first.
- 24/7 response, including nights, weekends, long weekends and holiday peaks in Tofino and Ucluelet.
- Clear ETA by phone at dispatch, then an update if conditions on Highway 4 change it.
What we cannot do
We open doors; we do not cut or program keys. If your key is lost rather than locked inside, we can still get you into the vehicle, then arrange a tow to a dealer or locksmith in Port Alberni or Nanaimo if you cannot drive it. Some late-model vehicles with deadlocking systems cannot be opened without the key, and we will tell you that before we roll rather than after.
What to have ready when you call
- Your exact location. A business name, beach access number, resort lot, kilometre marker or highway pullout all work. Drop a pin from your phone if you have signal.
- Year, make and model of the vehicle, and whether it is a push-button start.
- Whether anyone or any animal is inside the vehicle.
- Proof of ownership or rental agreement when we arrive. A licence and registration, or the rental paperwork, is all we need.

Car Lockout Service FAQs
How long does a car lockout take?
Most unlocks take about 5 to 10 minutes once we arrive. Drive time depends on where you are; in town it is typically well under an hour, and we give you an ETA when you call.
Will you damage my door or window?
No. We use non-destructive tools designed for the job. If a vehicle cannot be opened without risk of damage, we tell you before we start.
Can you unlock a push-button start or keyless vehicle?
Usually, yes. Keyless vehicles still have mechanical door locks we can work with. Tell us the year, make and model and we will confirm before dispatch.
My keys are locked in the trunk. Can you help?
Yes. We open the cabin, then use the trunk release or fold-down seats to reach your keys.
Do you do lockouts at night?
Yes. Lockout service runs 24 hours a day, every day, including holidays.
How much does a lockout cost?
Pricing depends on your location and time of day. Call (800) 216-3189 and we will quote you before we dispatch, with no surprises on arrival.
