Locked Out in North Myrtle Beach
Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — including holidays.
Fast Car Lockout Service Covering North Myrtle Beach
Angel Way Transport and Towing is a licensed towing and roadside assistance provider serving North Myrtle Beach, Horry County, and Conway, SC, operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week since September 2013. A vehicle lockout happens when a driver is separated from their keys locked inside the car, keys lost, a key broken in the lock cylinder, or a malfunctioning electronic key fob that fails to communicate with the vehicle's central locking system.
Being locked out is not just an inconvenience — it can be a safety risk at night, in unfamiliar areas, in extreme heat, or when a child or pet is inside the vehicle. The longer someone waits on the roadside, the greater the risk.
What Happens After You Call Us
You Call, We Dispatch Immediately
When you call (540) 494-9002, a real person picks up. We confirm your location and the make and model of your vehicle and dispatch a technician to you without delay. No automated menus, no scheduling window—we go straight from your call to wheels rolling.
A Technician Arrives With the Right Tools
Our technician arrives with professional-grade lockout tools—air wedges, long-reach tools, and slim jim rods appropriate to your vehicle's make and door construction. They assess the lock type before touching the vehicle so the right tool is used the first time. Arrival times vary by location across North Myrtle Beach and Horry County, but we move with urgency on every call.
Damage-Free Entry, You’re Back on the Road
Professional lockout entry does not damage your door seals, window trim, or lock cylinder when done correctly with the right equipment. Our technician works carefully and methodically. Once the door is open, they confirm everything is intact before the call is closed. The job is done when you're satisfied, not when the door opens.
Every Lockout Situation Has a Solution
Keys Locked Inside the Car
This is the most common call we receive. Whether you stepped out for a moment at a gas station on Highway 17 or locked your keys in the trunk at the beach, our technician uses a wedge-and-long-reach method or slim jim to open the door without touching the glass or damaging the seal. Most modern vehicles can be accessed without risk to the locking mechanism.
Keys Locked Inside the Car
Electronic key fobs fail without warning — a dead battery, water exposure, or a programming glitch can leave you standing outside a vehicle that won't respond to the remote. We can access the vehicle using the physical lock cylinder and help you understand your next step, whether that's a battery replacement or a trip to a dealer for reprogramming.
Key Broken in the Lock
A snapped key in the door cylinder or ignition is a different problem that requires careful extraction to avoid pushing the broken piece deeper. Our technicians carry the tools to extract broken keys cleanly. Attempting to force the remaining key stub with pliers or improvised tools almost always makes the situation worse and more expensive to repair.
Child or Pet Locked Inside
If a child or animal is locked inside a vehicle — particularly in warm weather — call 911 first, then call us. We respond to these calls with urgency and will coordinate with emergency services on scene. Vehicle entry in an emergency is always our first priority. Do not wait to call.
