JF Roadside Service is an Ormond Beach company—not a national call center farming out jobs to whoever bids lowest. We know every shopping plaza, neighborhood street, and beach parking lot in the area. Our technicians use professional slim jims, airbag wedges, and long-reach tools designed specifically for automotive lockouts, not hardware-store improvisation.

We're based in Ormond Beach and reach most local lockouts in under 30 minutes. Emergency lockouts—child or pet inside, extreme heat—get priority dispatch and even faster arrival times.
We use professional automotive lockout tools, not coat hangers or wedges. Your paint, weather stripping, and door seals stay pristine. If we can't unlock it safely, we'll tell you upfront—but that almost never happens.
We quote your price over the phone and confirm it on-site before we touch your vehicle. No surprise charges, no after-hours premiums, no mileage fees. What we say is what you pay—typically half what dealerships charge.
Lockouts happen at 3 AM in Publix parking lots, on Sunday mornings at the beach, and on Christmas Eve. We're available around the clock, every single day, with the same honest pricing day or night.

We invest in the best automotive lockout tools available: slim jims, universal airbag wedges, long-reach grabbers, and specialty tools for European, Asian, and domestic vehicles. Our equipment is designed for cars—not improvised from hardware-store supplies.
Our technicians have unlocked thousands of vehicles across Volusia County—Hondas, Toyotas, Fords, Chevys, Dodges, BMWs, Mercedes, Teslas, and everything in between. We train continuously on the latest keyless entry systems, electronic locks, and push-button-start vehicles.
Once we arrive and assess your vehicle, most lockouts are resolved in under 5 minutes. We don't waste time with trial and error—we use proven techniques that work the first time, every time.
You don't tow your locked car anywhere. We come to you—whether you're at home, at work, in a Walmart parking lot, at the beach, or broken down on the side of I-95 or Granada Boulevard.
JF Roadside Service is a family business based in Ormond Beach, not a national franchise or call center. When you call us, you're talking to neighbors who live in the same community and care about providing honest, reliable service.
We provide upfront pricing over the phone with no hidden fees, mileage charges, or after-hours premiums. Our lockout rates are typically 40-60% lower than dealership service or mobile locksmith companies.
When you call (877) 68-CALLJIM, you reach a live person immediately—not a voicemail system, automated menu, or offshore call center. We'll dispatch a technician and give you a real estimated arrival time.
If a child, pet, or vulnerable person is locked inside your vehicle—especially in hot weather—we treat it as a life-threatening emergency. We'll drop everything, prioritize your call, and reach you as fast as humanly possible.
No. We use professional automotive lockout tools specifically designed for damage-free vehicle entry—slim jims, airbag wedges, and long-reach tools made for cars, not improvised hardware-store supplies. Our technicians are trained in safe entry techniques for all vehicle types, from 1990s sedans to 2025 electric vehicles with electronic locks. We've unlocked thousands of vehicles across Volusia County without causing a single scratch, dent, or torn seal. Your vehicle will look exactly as it did before you locked the keys inside.
Yes. We unlock all types of modern vehicles, including those with keyless entry systems, proximity key fobs, push-button ignition, and electronic door locks. These vehicles require different techniques than older cars with manual locks, but our technicians are trained on the latest models from every manufacturer—Toyota, Honda, Ford, Chevrolet, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Tesla, and more. Some extremely high-security luxury or exotic vehicles may require dealer service, but these cases are rare.
Most passenger cars, SUVs, and trucks are unlocked in under 5 minutes once our technician arrives and assesses the vehicle. Some vehicles with advanced security features or difficult lock mechanisms may take 10-15 minutes. We never rush the job or use techniques that could damage your vehicle—we work carefully and professionally to ensure safe entry.
If your keys are lost (not locked inside), we can still unlock your vehicle so you can retrieve your registration, insurance card, personal belongings, or other items from inside. However, JF Roadside Service does not make replacement keys—that requires an automotive locksmith or dealership. Once we unlock your car, you'll need to contact a locksmith who can cut and program a new key (most modern keys have transponder chips or electronic components), or you can have your vehicle towed to a dealership for key replacement.
No. Our lockout service rates are the same 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Whether you're locked out at 2 PM on a Wednesday or 2 AM on New Year's Day, you pay the same upfront price with no surcharges, no after-hours fees, and no holiday premiums. Emergency roadside service should be available and affordable at all times.
Many vehicles activate their alarm system when a door is opened without the key fob. Our technicians expect this and know how to handle it. The alarm will typically sound for a few seconds when we open the door, but it can be silenced immediately once you have access to your key fob inside the vehicle—just press the unlock button, press the panic button, or start the engine. The alarm is loud and annoying but harmless and won't damage your vehicle.
Absolutely—and we treat these calls as absolute emergencies. If a child, pet, or elderly person is locked inside your vehicle, tell our dispatcher immediately when you call. We will prioritize your call above all other jobs and dispatch a technician to your location as fast as possible. While you wait, stay calm, keep the person or pet in sight, and try to keep them calm through the window. If the weather is extremely hot or cold, or if the child or pet shows signs of distress (difficulty breathing, unresponsiveness, crying inconsolably), call 911 first for immediate emergency response—Florida heat can turn a car interior deadly in just minutes.
Many auto insurance policies include roadside assistance coverage that covers lockout service, either as a standard benefit or as an optional add-on you can purchase. Check your insurance policy documents or call your insurance company to ask whether you have lockout coverage. If you do, we can provide an itemized receipt that you can submit to your insurer for reimbursement. Even if your insurance doesn't cover lockouts, our rates are affordable enough that most customers choose to pay out of pocket rather than deal with insurance claims paperwork.
Several strategies can help prevent future lockouts. First, have a spare key made and give it to a trusted family member, friend, or neighbor who lives nearby. Second, keep a spare key at home in a safe, accessible place (not hidden outside your vehicle—thieves know to check for magnetic key holders). Third, if your vehicle has keyless entry, learn where the physical backup key is located inside the fob and where the hidden key slot is on your door handle. Fourth, make it a habit to always hold your keys in your hand—not set them down inside the car—until you're ready to lock up. Fifth, consider adding roadside assistance coverage to your auto insurance policy. Finally, save JF Roadside Service's number in your phone: (877) 68-CALLJIM. That way, if you do get locked out again, help is just one tap away.
