Full-Service Roadside & Locksmith Assistance
In the past, you had to make a choice. Do you call a locksmith who can handle keys but not a dead battery? Or do you call a roadside company that can jump your car but can’t program a new key fob?
24 Hr Car Unlocking eliminates that choice. We are a hybrid, specialized team. We are a full-service roadside assistance provider AND a master automotive locksmith.
A complete Car Locksmith and Roadside Assistance service combines two distinct skill sets.
- Roadside Assistance: Solves mechanical and mobility issues on-site, like jump starts, tire changes, and fuel delivery.
- Automotive Locksmith: Solves security and access issues, including emergency lockouts, on-site car key replacement, transponder programming, and ignition repair.
Our technicians are cross-trained and equipped to handle both. When our van arrives, it’s a complete mobile solution for 99% of vehicle problems.
24/7 Roadside Assistance Services
First, we cover all the essentials to get you back on the road when you’re stranded. We are Corpus Christi’s faster, more affordable alternative to a tow truck.
Emergency Jump Start Service: A dead battery is the #1 problem for drivers, especially in the Corpus Christi heat.
- The Problem: You turn the key and hear that click-click-click or just silence.
- Our Solution: We arrive in 20-30 minutes with a professional, surge-protected battery pack. This safely jump-starts your car, truck, or SUV without risking damage to your vehicle’s sensitive computer (ECU), unlike old-fashioned jumper cables. We can also test your battery’s health on-site.
Flat Tire Change Service: Changing a tire on the shoulder of the Crosstown Expressway (Hwy 358) or I-37 is incredibly dangerous.
- The Problem: You have a flat tire and no safe way to change it.
- Our Solution: Stay in your car. Call us. Our technician will arrive, set up a secure safety zone with cones and lights, and use professional-grade jacks and impact wrenches to swap your flat for your spare (“donut”) in minutes. It’s the safest way to handle a flat.
Emergency Fuel Delivery: Ran out of gas? Don’t risk walking on the highway or leaving your car.
- The Problem: Your car sputters to a stop, miles from a gas station.
- Our Solution: We’ll dispatch a technician with 2-3 gallons of gasoline or diesel, enough to get you safely to the nearest service station to fill up.
Expert Automotive Locksmith Services
This is where 24 Hr Car Unlocking truly separates from the competition. We are not just a “pop-a-lock” service. We are full-scope, licensed automotive locksmiths.
Emergency Car Lockout Service: We are the fastest, safest, and most reliable lockout service in Corpus Christi.
- The Problem: Keys are locked in the car, trunk, or you just can’t get in.
- Our Solution: We use 100% damage-free techniques. Our technicians are masters with professional tools, ensuring no scratches, no bent doors, and no broken window seals. We can safely unlock 100% of vehicles, from a 1995 truck to a 2025 Mercedes.
Car Key Replacement & Duplication: Lost your keys? Dealerships will charge a fortune and require a tow. We make your new key on the spot.
- The Problem: You’ve lost your only car key, or you need a spare.
- Our Solution: Our mobile service vans are fully equipped with key-cutting machines. We can cut and program:
- Transponder Keys: (The “chip keys” that prevent theft).
- Laser-Cut Keys: (The high-security keys with a “wavy” groove).
- Standard Metal Keys: For older vehicles.
We do this at your location for a fraction of the dealer price.
Key Fob & Remote Programming: A modern “key” is often a plastic fob. We program those, too.
- The Problem: Your new key fob won’t start the car, or you bought a remote online and can’t program it.
- Our Solution: We have the same diagnostic programming tools as the dealership. We can program new key fobs, smart keys (push-to-start), and remotes for almost all makes and models, getting your car’s security system to recognize the new key.
Ignition Repair & Replacement Service: This is a problem a tow truck cannot solve.
- The Problem: Your key breaks off in the ignition, the ignition is stuck, or the key won’t turn.
Our Solution: Don’t force it! You’ll cause more damage. Our locksmiths can professionally extract the broken key. We can also repair or, if necessary, replace the entire ignition cylinder on-site, saving you a costly tow and a multi-day shop visit.

FAQs – Pop a Car Lock Corpus Christi
- Are you a real locksmith? Can you make keys?
Yes, absolutely. We are full-service, licensed automotive locksmiths. We are more than a lockout service. Our mobile vans are equipped to cut and program transponder (“chip”) keys, key fobs, and smart keys for most vehicles, right on the spot.
- Is it cheaper to get a key from you or the dealership?
We are almost always significantly cheaper than the dealership. A dealership requires you to tow your car to them, pay for 2-3 hours of labor, and pay a high markup. We drive to you and make the key on-site, saving you time, a tow bill, and money.
- How much does a car locksmith cost in Corpus Christi?
The cost depends on the service. A simple lockout is our most affordable service. A transponder key replacement costs more due to the hardware and programming. However, we provide a guaranteed, flat-rate quote on the phone, so you know the full price before we arrive.
- How fast can you get to me?
Our average arrival time in the Corpus Christi metro area is 20-30 minutes.
- My key broke off in the ignition. Can you help?
Yes. Stop trying to turn it—you could cause more damage. Call us immediately. Our locksmiths have the specialty extraction tools to safely remove the broken key fragments. We can then inspect the ignition and cut a new key for you.
- Are you 24/7? Even on holidays?
Yes. We are a true 24/7/365 service. Our name means it. We are always open, including nights, weekends, and all major holidays, to provide both roadside assistance and car locksmith services.
- Does Texas have free roadside assistance?
Yes — Texas offers free roadside assistance through the TxDOT Roadside Assistance Patrol, which operates in major metro areas such as Houston, Austin, Dallas, and San Antonio. These patrols help stranded motorists with flat tires, jump starts, stalled vehicles, or minor issues, but they only operate on designated state highways and during limited hours. Outside of those patrol zones, drivers are responsible for their own roadside help. In Corpus Christi and surrounding South Texas areas, 24 Hr Car Unlocking provides fast, affordable roadside assistance 24/7 — covering everything from lockouts and fuel delivery to mobile battery replacement. You can request immediate dispatch by phone, and our certified technicians will arrive quickly wherever you’re stranded.
