Locked Out in Christiansburg or Blacksburg? Here’s Exactly What to Do

Getting locked out never happens at a convenient time. It’s always the parking lot at 10 PM, or the grocery store on a Sunday, or right before an important meeting. If you’re stranded in Christiansburg, Blacksburg, or anywhere in the New River Valley, here’s what you need to know — and what not to do.

Don’t Break the Window

It seems obvious in the moment, but a broken window costs $200–$400 to replace and doesn’t even get you your keys back if they’re still inside. A professional locksmith can typically open your car in under five minutes without any damage — and for far less than a new window.

Don’t Wait on a Tow Truck

Most towing companies aren’t equipped for lockouts — they’ll hook your car to a flatbed and take it somewhere, which costs more and takes longer. A mobile locksmith comes to you, wherever you are.
