Home football Saturdays change everything here. Traffic control closes streets around the Big House for hours, and a car stuck inside that perimeter often cannot be reached until the crowd clears. If you are parked near the stadium on a game day, call early rather than late.
Most of our Ann Arbor calls come off I-94, US-23 and M-14.

Straight answer
Why Ann Arbor calls us
We are not going to show you a wall of five-star quotes. Our Google Business Profile is still going through verification, which means we have no public reviews yet — and inventing some would tell you everything you need to know about how we would treat your invoice. Here is what we will put in writing instead.
The quote is the price
You hear the whole number before a truck moves — hook-up and mileage together. If the job is what you described, that is what you pay. No arrival fee, no fuel surcharge invented at the kerb.
A person answers, not a queue
The phone goes to a dispatcher in Metro Detroit who knows where the trucks are, not to a national call centre that brokers the job to whoever bids lowest.
The right truck for the vehicle
All-wheel drive, low clearance and non-rolling vehicles go on a flatbed, even when a wheel-lift is closer. Sending the wrong truck saves ten minutes and costs you a drivetrain.
Licensed, insured, and local
6+ years running trucks out of Metro Detroit and past 10,000+ tows. Ask the driver for credentials at the kerb — that is a fair question and you will get a straight answer.
Before you call
Car Lockout Service in Ann Arbor — questions
How fast can you get a tow truck to Ann Arbor?
Our typical arrival time in Ann Arbor is 40–55 minutes. We dispatch to every Ann Arbor ZIP code including 48103, 48104, 48105, 48108, and we run I-94, US-23, M-14 continuously. If you are stopped on a freeway shoulder anywhere in Washtenaw County, say so when you call — those jobs are prioritised.
Do you cover all of Ann Arbor?
Yes — the whole of Ann Arbor, including Central Campus, Kerrytown, Burns Park. If you are near the University of Michigan or anywhere along I-94, a truck can be with you in about 40 minutes on a normal day.
How much does a car lockout cost?
From $65 for most vehicles in our core Metro Detroit service area. A small number of high-security European models take longer and cost more; the dispatcher will tell you on the phone if yours is one of them, before we dispatch.
Will you damage my car unlocking it?
No. Air wedge and long-reach tooling is the same non-destructive method dealerships and manufacturers specify. The improvised methods — coat hangers, slim jims, wire down the window seal — are what damage weatherstripping, window regulators and airbag wiring on modern vehicles.
Can you unlock a car with push-button start and no key slot?
Yes. Our entry method opens the door mechanically from inside; it does not depend on a key cylinder. Once the door is open you can retrieve the fob and start normally. What we cannot do is cut or program a replacement fob — that is an automotive locksmith or dealer job.
