Working in Punta del Este

Punta del Este mixes apartment towers along Playa Mansa and Playa Brava with houses and gardens further inland. Many homes are holiday rentals that stay closed for months, so stiff locks, lost rental keys and doors that slam shut behind you are everyday calls here.

Our base is in Maldonado city. We usually reach Punta del Este in 15 to 25 minutes. Tell us a landmark near you, for example Gorlero Avenue, Roosevelt Avenue and the Mansa or Brava promenades.

    Send your location (a landmark is enough), what happened and, if you can, a photo of the lock. Short messages work best.

  2. Fixed price first

    We tell you the price and the arrival time before we leave. That is the price you pay, at any hour.

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 del Este?

We usually reach Punta del Este in 15 to 25 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 del Este?

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.
