I inadvertently locked the keys to my rental auto inside the car one night.. They were partially hanging out of a side pocket of my handbag on the passenger seat and in clear view. I contacted my auto rental service and they in turn called Pee Wee's Towing to unlock the car. Chris, who works with Pee Wee's Towing, was quick to respond, but was unable to help since the dispatcher didn't tell him my keys were locked in the car and he was there to tow the car instead. He made a valiant effort to unlock the door anyway, but didn't have the necessary tools. He realized that I was in a bad situation and offered to make a call to a friend to help. After a short time Mike O'Brien, who is a locksmith in Lexington, arrived to help. He also was unable to open the door with his locksmith tools. But, using some amazing skills, he was able to look at the key through the window and "read" the grooves in order to make a key on the spot that fit perfectly and he opened the door with the first try. It's still find it hard to believe that he had the ability to do that. Because my auto insurance covered the cost of the car rental due to an accident, I was not charged for the services of either Pee Wee's Towing or the locksmith services of Mike O'Brien. I would highly recommend the services of both of these companies. They were very personable, intelligent, courteous, and eager to help.
