Locked out of your car? We come to your exact pin 24/7—home, work, curbside, alley, garage, or lot—and give you a firm ETA with live text updates. After verifying ownership, our techs use non-destructive entry tools (precision air wedges, coated long-reach tools, protected fulcrums, trim shields) to open your vehicle cleanly—no broken glass, bent frames, or torn weatherstripping.
If a weak battery or dead fob caused the lockout, we’ll test on scene and perform a surge-protected, sequence-correct jump start to protect ECUs and modern electronics. We can also check your fob cell and advise quick next steps so the problem doesn’t return an hour later.
Expect transparent, upfront pricing with no hidden fees and respectful, glove-on handling from arrival to wrap-up. Need fast, damage-free entry right now? Call (312) 451-5785 and Rick’s Emergency Roadside Assistance will dispatch immediately.

Locked out? Our vetted technicians use professional, non-destructive entry methods—never prying on paint or forcing latches. After verifying ownership, we map airbag sensor zones and lock geometry, then choose the safest approach for your vehicle (including frameless windows and double-seal weatherstrips). Precision air wedges create a minimal, controlled gap; coated long-reach tools, protected fulcrums, and trim shields keep glass, paint, and seals safe.
Every unlock follows a strict checklist: stabilize the vehicle, protect door edges, create the smallest workable gap, manipulate the interior release cleanly, and re-seat the door to factory fit so there’s no wind noise or seal distortion. We finish with a quick function check of windows/locks to confirm everything operates exactly as it did before entry.
If the lockout is tied to a weak battery or dead fob, we test on scene and perform a surge-protected, sequence-correct jump start to protect ECUs and modern electronics—plus a quick fob-cell check to prevent a repeat. Pricing is transparent and upfront with no hidden fees. Need damage-free entry right now? Call (312) 451-5785 and Rick’s Emergency Roadside Assistance will dispatch immediately.
When it comes to light duty towing, we’ve got the right equipment for the job. Our fleet includes traditional tow trucks, ensuring safe and damage-free transport of SUVs, pickup trucks, and vans across the Greater Chicago area.
Our medium duty towing service is built for versatility. With trucks designed for superior maneuverability, we can assist with a wide range of vehicles including small dual-wheel pickups, vans, Sprinters, and more. Whether in tight city spaces or wider roadways, we’re ready to get the job done.
Modern vehicles often won’t unlock—or even recognize the fob—when the battery is flat. We start by restoring safe power first: a surge-protected, sequence-correct jump with reverse-polarity safeguards. That protects ECUs, airbags, start-stop systems (AGM/EFB), and door-module electronics—especially on frameless windows that “index” when opening. We verify voltage before and after the boost, then complete a clean, damage-free unlock using protected tools and trim shields, followed by a quick function check so everything works exactly as it should.
If your push-button start still won’t wake modules or “see” the fob, we use OEM-recommended backup procedures—placing the fob at the vehicle’s emergency detection spot (e.g., by the start button/column pad or console reader), using the hidden mechanical key for initial access, and cycling power long enough for immobilizer handshakes. We can test/replace the fob cell, confirm alternator output, and outline next steps if we detect weak cells or parasitic draw. You’ll get transparent, upfront pricing with no hidden fees and clear ETA texts. Need help now? Call (312) 451-5785 and we’ll get you back inside—safely and fast.
