Frequently asked questions
What people ask us most before we go.
My keys are locked in the car. What should I do?
Leave the car locked and do not force the door or the window: modern cars have rods and sensors that break easily. If a child or a pet is inside, call 911 first. Then message us with the make, model, year and exact location, and we set off with the right tools.
How fast can you get to my car in Punta Ballena?
We usually reach Punta Ballena in 20 to 30 minutes from our base in Maldonado city, outside peak season. We go to where the car is: the street, the beach, a car park or a garage. Send us your location on WhatsApp and we confirm the time right away.
Can you make a car key with a chip?
Yes. We cut and program transponder (chip) keys for most makes, so the car recognises the key and starts. Tell us the make, model and year on WhatsApp and we confirm whether your key can be made on site.
What documents do you ask for?
Before opening we check that the vehicle is yours with the vehicle registration document or another document that proves it. For rental cars, the rental contract. It is a condition of the service, with no exceptions.
How much does it cost to open a car in Punta Ballena?
It depends on the make, the model, the type of locking system and the time of day. Send us those details on WhatsApp and we give you a fixed price before we leave, the same price you pay at the end.
