Car Lockout in North York: the short version
Car lockout service for North York: careful entry with tools built for the purpose, and identity checks before anything is opened.
Finding a locked car in a North York lot
North York’s big lots (Fairview Mall, the North York Centre parking areas and the subway station lots) all have levels, pillars and several entrances. The call-taker will ask for the level, a pillar or bay number and the nearest entrance, then the make, model and year. If the keys are visible in the ignition or the engine is running, say so. The technician meets you at the vehicle, checks your licence against the registration and opens the door with non-marking tools where the model allows.
Where North York lockouts happen
Vehicles get locked at Finch Station lot, at York University Keele campus, along Steeles Avenue and in driveways across Lawrence Heights.
