If you're locked out in Elizabethton and need damage-free entry, call Tombstone Towing to schedule a fast response.

How Entry Tools Work on Different Vehicles

The technician arrives in Elizabethton with slim jims, air wedges, and electronic bypass tools suited to your vehicle's make and model. Older cars with manual locks require different techniques than newer models with electronic systems or anti-theft features. The process begins with an assessment of your door type, then the appropriate tool is used to create access without force.

After the door is unlocked, you will see no dents, scratches, or misalignment around the handle or window seal. The vehicle's security system remains intact, and the lock functions exactly as it did before the lockout occurred.

This service does not include key cutting, fob programming, or ignition repair. If your key is lost rather than locked inside, you may need a locksmith or dealer in addition to entry assistance. The goal is to restore access quickly so you can continue your day without waiting for a tow or causing unnecessary damage to your vehicle.
