Will a Tow Truck Unlock Your Car?

Tow trucks are large, heavy duty vehicles that are used to haul away cars for various reasons. They can be used to tow away a car that has been in an accident, or one that has been illegally parked.

They can also be used if your car has broken down and you need assistance getting it back on the road. But can a tow truck unlock your car if you have accidentally locked yourself out?

The answer is yes, in most cases a tow truck driver will be able to help you unlock your vehicle. Tow truck drivers are specially trained to safely and quickly open locked cars without causing any damage. They usually carry special tools that they use to access the locks on your vehicle, allowing them to open it up without any problems.

One of the most common ways that tow truck drivers unlock cars is by using slim jims. Slim jims are long, thin metal rods with notches at the end which allow them to fit into the door lock mechanism and then manipulate it so that the lock opens. This method is usually very effective and relatively safe as long as it is done by a trained professional who knows what they are doing.

Another way that tow truck drivers can open locked cars is by using air wedges. Air wedges are devices which create a gap between the window and door frame of your vehicle which allows them access to the lock mechanism inside the car door. This method is often faster than using a slim jim and doesn’t require as much skill on behalf of the tow truck driver, but it does come with its own set of risks as there is always a chance that something could go wrong when using this method of unlocking a car door.

Conclusion: Will a Tow Truck Unlock Your Car? Yes, in most cases they will be able to help you get back into your vehicle safely and quickly without causing any damage. Tow truck drivers usually carry specialized tools such as slim jims or air wedges which allow them to access locks inside your vehicle so they can get you back in with minimal effort.
