Car Keys
If your only key is gone, do not assume the car has to be towed anywhere. For most makes we can read the vehicle, cut a blade to match and program a chip or fob to it in the driveway, then erase the missing key from the car's memory.

Where the car is sitting
A car in a driveway, a lit parking lot, an underground garage or on the shoulder of a four-hundred-series highway each ask for a different approach. On a highway the locksmith parks to shield the work, keeps hazard lights on and works from the side away from traffic, the same routine the provincial driver's handbook gives stranded drivers. In a tight garage the question is clearance to open the door and light to see inside the cabin.
In a private lot or a building with gated access, someone may need to let the van in. Telling the locksmith exactly where the car is, and how to reach it, saves the first ten minutes on site.
