Back In Your Car In No Time

Locked Your Keys in the Car? We’ve Got You.

It always happens at the worst moment — at the Chappaqua Metro-North lot with a train to catch, in a parking space on South Greeley Avenue with your arms full, or in your own driveway on a freezing morning. Castle Auto & Towing gets you back into your vehicle quickly and cleanly. Car lockout help is one core part of our roadside assistance service, handled by the same local team you’d want showing up for any roadside emergency.

It’s tempting to reach for a coat hanger — but modern car doors are packed with airbags, sensors, and electronics that one wrong move can turn into an expensive repair. Our operators use professional lockout tools that open your door the right way: no damage to your paint, your locks, or the wiring inside.

Whatever Locked You Out

Vehicle Lockout Situations We Handle Every Day

However your keys got locked in your car, we’ve seen it before and can get you back in your vehicle in no time.

Keys Locked Inside

The classic — keys sitting right there on the seat while you’re stuck on the wrong side of the glass. We’ll get you back in.

Keys Locked in the Trunk

Keys or a fob that slipped into a trunk that latched behind them? We can open it up without forcing anything.

Lost or Broken Key

Lost your only key, or snapped one in the lock? We’ll get you into the vehicle and help you figure out the next step.

Dead or Broken Key Fob

A keyless car with a dead fob battery can leave you stranded outside a car that won’t respond. We can get you in.

Locked Out at Home or Work

You don’t have to be on the road. Driveway, office lot, gym, grocery store — we come to wherever you’re stuck.

Roadside Lockouts

Pulled over on Route 117 or stuck at a rest stop far from a spare key? We’ll reach you and get you moving again.

Please Don’t Use a Coat Hanger

The DIY Fix Costs More Than the Lockout

What the old tricks actually do to a modern vehicle — and how we avoid all of it.

  • THE DIY TEMPTATION

  • Coat hangers and a novice with a slim jim can trigger the side-impact airbag sensors built into the door.
  • They snag and bend window regulators and lock linkages you can’t see.

  • A clothes hanger scratches paint, tears upholstery, and can damage the weather seal.

  • A repair for any one of these can cost far more than a professional lockout ever would.

  • THE CASTLE WAY
  • Professional long-reach tools and air wedges open the door without touching the internals.
  • Trained operators who unlock vehicles the right way, dozens of times a month.

  • No damage to paint, locks, glass, upholstery, or electronics — guaranteed care with every job.

  • One quick call and you’re back in for a fraction of what a DIY repair bill would cost.

We Know Where This Happens

Fast Lockout Help Across the Chappaqua Area

We dispatch from 480 Bedford Road right in Chappaqua, so we’re minutes from the spots where lockouts actually happen around here — the commuter lots, the downtown parking spaces, and the residential driveways tucked along our winding back roads.

Cold Westchester winters don’t help either: frozen locks and stiff fingers turn a quick errand into a lockout in a hurry. Whenever and wherever it happens, we’re close by and ready to get you back in.

  • CHAPPAQUA METRO-NORTH LOT
    The all-day classic — keys locked in before the morning train, spotted at 6 p.m.

  • DOWNTOWN CHAPPAQUA
    King Street and South Greeley Avenue shops, cafés, and street parking.

  • RETAIL & GROCERY LOTS
    Hands full of bags and keys on the seat — we come to the parking lot.

  • HOME DRIVEWAYS
    Residential streets across New Castle, Millwood, and the surrounding hills.
  • ROADSIDE ON 117 & 120
    Bedford Road, Millwood Road, and the connectors where you might pull over.

Why Castle

Local Roots, First-Responder Standards

Castle Auto & Towing was built from a family repair shop with more than 30 years of roots in Westchester County — not a corporate franchise. When you call, you reach a local team that treats your situation with the professionalism you deserve.

Every operator on our team is also a trained first responder, and that calm, prepared approach shapes how we handle every lockout, jumpstart, and tow.

  • Fast, local dispatch — we’re based right in Chappaqua, not three towns (or three states) away.

  • No damage, ever — professional tools and operators who unlock vehicles the right way.
  • Trained first responders — 20+ years of combined volunteer firefighting and EMT experience.
  • We solve problems, not just tow — from a lockout to a full recovery, we take care of people.

They have donated vehicles to our department multiple times, allowing our firefighters to conduct valuable hands-on training and exercises, including vehicle extrication, car fires, and other important emergency scenarios. Their generosity directly helps us train our members and be better prepared to serve our community. We truly appreciate their continued support and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great company to work with!

Driving from CT to a sports game in NY with my kids I needed emergent towing as we were stranded on the side of the road. I had no idea where I was as we are not from that area. Castle towing was amazing. He knew exactlt where we were based on pictures I sent. Came to us within 15mins of the call towed the car to the shop and was able to fix the issue. This all occured on a Sunday morning the day before a holiday! I highly recommended them! An issue that could have been much worse was fixed and allowed me to drive home to CT safely with my kids in my own car. I am thankful I didnt need to have to figure out a car rental place etc. Even though we are from CT I even saved the tow truck info in my phone just in case we are ever in that area again and need help!

Car Lockout Questions

Can you unlock my car without damaging it?2026-09-21T14:44:50+00:00

Yes — that’s the whole point of calling a pro. We use professional long-reach tools and air wedges that open your door without harming the paint, upholstery, locks, glass, or the electronics inside the door panel.

My keys are locked in the trunk — can you still help?2026-09-21T14:43:28+00:00

In most cases, yes. Tell us your vehicle type when you call and we’ll come prepared to get into trunk open without forcing it. Most vehicles allow access to the trunk once entry to the seating area has been gained.

What if I’ve lost my keys or my only key broke?2026-09-21T14:41:04+00:00

We’ll get you into the vehicle first. If you then need a new key cut or programmed, we can help you get to a dealer or locksmith — and tow the vehicle there if that’s the simplest fix.

Do you unlock keyless / push-to-start vehicles?2026-09-21T14:40:43+00:00

Yes. A dead fob battery or a fob locked inside is one of the most common calls we get, and we can get you back in.

I’m locked out in a parking lot, not on the road — can you come?2026-09-21T14:40:22+00:00

Absolutely. Home driveway, office lot, the commuter lot, a grocery store — wherever you’re stuck in the Chappaqua area, we’ll come to you.
