When your keys are locked inside, the urge to force something open is strong — but DIY attempts often cause costly damage (scratched paint, broken window, bent rods). RST provides:
24/7 rapid response anywhere in Calgary and surrounding areas
Non-damaging entry methods — air wedges, long-reach tools, slim jims, and electronic unlocking for modern cars
Technicians trained on all makes and models, including luxury and high-security vehicles
Transparent, affordable pricing — no hidden fees, no upsells
Verification & safety protocols — we confirm vehicle ownership before any unlock
Our goal is to get you back behind the wheel fast — safely, professionally, and with zero damage.
Call RST: Dial +1 (403) 458-6010 and tell us your location and vehicle details.
We Dispatch Quickly: We send the nearest trained technician with the right tools.
On-Site Verification: For your safety, we verify ownership/authorization before entry.
Damage-Free Unlock: We use the best practice method for your vehicle type.
You’re On Your Way: Once unlocked, we’ll check the vehicle for any issues and offer tips to avoid future lockouts.
Keys left on the seat or dashboard
Keys locked in the trunk or glove box
Child or pet locked inside (we prioritize these calls)
Broken key in the lock or ignition
Key fob malfunction or dead battery preventing unlocking
Newer vehicles with electronic locks and keyless entry systems
If a child or pet is inside — call us immediately and tell the dispatcher. We prioritize safety-first emergencies.
Modern cars require modern techniques. Our technicians are equipped to handle:
Older vehicles: Mechanical long-reach tools and slim jims applied by trained pros to avoid popping panels.
Keyless & smart key systems: Electronic unlocking methods and diagnostic approaches to avoid triggering alarms or immobilizers.
Trunk-only lockouts: Specialized tools and procedures to access the trunk without harming seals or electronics.
Broken key scenarios: Safe extraction methods; if the key breaks off in the lock, we can usually remove it without damage and may arrange replacement.
We always choose the least invasive method that guarantees success.
Before we unlock any vehicle we follow clear verification steps to protect you and the community:
Ask for photo ID that matches the vehicle registration or proof of ownership.
If the owner is not present, we accept written authorization and ID from the registered owner.
For high-risk situations (children/pets), we proceed with immediate entry while maintaining documentation.
We keep a record of the service for your peace of mind.
Please avoid these common DIY attempts — they often lead to expensive repairs:
Don’t use coat hangers or homemade tools — they can scratch glass and warp seals.
Don’t try to break the window — it’s dangerous and costly.
Don’t wedge hard objects between door and frame — this can damage weatherstripping and electronics.
Don’t force the steering wheel or ignition — you can damage the steering column or ignition assembly.
Call a professional — it’s safer, faster, and often cheaper in the long run.
We pride ourselves on clear, upfront pricing. When you call, we’ll provide an estimate based on:
Vehicle type and complexity of the lock system
Location and time (standard vs. after-hours emergency)
Any special equipment or extra services required (e.g., broken key extraction)
You’ll always know the cost before we begin work. No surprises.
Avoid the next lockout with these practical tips:
Keep a spare key with a trusted friend or family member.
Buy a magnetic key box and place it securely on the underside of your vehicle (use with caution; place where not easily seen).
Use smartphone apps and remote-start/keyless features correctly; don’t leave fobs inside.
Attach a bright keychain to your keys — easier to spot.
Store a spare key at home and update contact details with roadside providers.
If you’d like, we can also recommend local locksmiths for spare keys and fob programming.

Fast and Very Good transaction and repair Thanks Dave.Posted on Wade Scott2025-09-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you to Umar and RST Towing for being prompt, professional, and offering competitive pricing. We had a prior commitment, and Umar assured us we didn’t need to be at the vehicle. He handled everything on his own, and the car was delivered to the right spot with no issues. I highly recommend RST Towing to anyone looking for a reliable and reputable company.Posted on nancy chibry2025-08-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Umar was friendly and fast getting the car hitched up. I love that he sent pictures of where the car was dropped off plus pictures of the information he wrote on the key drop off envelope.Posted on A C2025-07-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My car broke down and I needed a tow, so I looked up a few options and saw that RST had really good reviews. I gave them a call and asked for a quote for about 10 kilometers. They gave me an estimate wait time and price right away. Al came within the time given and I paid exactly what was quoted, which I really appreciated. Al was pretty awesome. He not only towed the car but also figured out what was wrong and managed to fix it on the spot. That saved me from having to bring it into a shop just for a diagnosis. I was really happy with the price and especially with Al's attitude. He was very kind, patient, and happy to answer all my questions without making me feel clueless for not knowing much about cars. Overall, a really solid experience.Posted on mohammed arif2025-07-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
