BMW service goes beyond oil changes and tire rotations. Here at Fields BMW Lakeland, we want to make sure you have the information and resources you need to keep your vehicle safe and protected out on the open road. That’s why we’re sharing tips and tricks for BMW roadside assistance, like what to do if you get locked out of your vehicle.
What to Do If You're Locked Out
We’ve all been locked out of our cars at one point or another. The first thing to remember after you get locked out of your vehicle is how to stay safe and get support. Fields BMW Lakeland is here to help you get started with these simple steps:
- Get to a safe area. Check your surroundings and make sure you and your vehicle are safe. Dial 9-1-1 or move to a safe location before moving to the next step.
- Call Roadside Assistance. Many new vehicle warranties here at Fields BMW Lakeland come with roadside assistance options, and your insurance may have roadside assistance support as well.
- Call a towing company. If you don’t have roadside assistance, a local towing company will be able to help you get your vehicle unlocked so you can get back behind the wheel.
- Protect yourself for the future. If you get locked out of your car regularly, you might want to leave a spare key with a friend or at your office. There are also an increasing number of vehicles with touchpad entry and cars that won’t lock if the key is in the ignition, so it’s worth exploring those options for your next ride.
