Who to call when you’re locked out of your GMC car 

So, you’re wondering what you should do when you lock yourself out of your GMC vehicle? You’ve come to the right place. Carl Black Roswell of Roswell, GA, will tell you who to call when you’re locked out of your GMC car below. 


What should I do when I’ve been in a car accident?


Roadside Assistance vehicle unlock service 

The very first place to turn is your Roadside Assistance plan. Roadside Assistance is always available, so they’re the first place to go when you are in this situation. You can easily find their current telephone number with a Google search, and we recommend saving this number in your phone. You can also use the mobile app to call them. 

Does every GMC vehicle receive Roadside Assistance? 

If you have a 2016 or newer GMC vehicle, you get Roadside Assistance for five years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. Be sure to take advantage of this complimentary service if you ever need towing, vehicle unlock services, flat tire changes, a battery jump-start, or emergency fuel delivery. 

Does vehicle unlock service cost money with GMC Roadside Assistance? 

As always, there is no charge for your Roadside Assistance plan. However, the costs of a new key and the labor to create a new key are not covered under your Roadside Assistance plan, which means that you may be charged for certain aspects of your vehicle unlock service if you need a new key. 

What if I don’t have Roadside Assistance? 

If your GMC vehicle is no longer covered by Roadside Assistance, you should call a locksmith or the police in an emergency lock-out situation. The police should be contacted if you feel unsafe, while a locksmith is a good option in a non-emergency situation.
