When I got locked out of my car, a towtruck stopped and the driver offered to open the door for me (for a fee). Should I have let him?

Some towing companies equip their drivers with the proper tools to open cars, but most don’t. Don’t take the risk of having the locking mechanism disabled or ruined by someone who either doesn’t know what he is doing or is using the wrong tool… in addition to disabling the locking mechanism, they often also cause body damage to the car. A licensed locksmith is always your best bet.
