Jump Start Service
A dead battery can happen anywhere at any time. Cold Indiana winters are particularly hard on battery performance. Older batteries, lights left on overnight, and vehicles that sit unused for extended periods all result in dead battery calls across South Bend and Mishawaka regularly.
Our drivers carry professional-grade jump start equipment and respond to battery calls throughout the metro. When the jump is successful, the driver confirms the vehicle is holding charge before leaving. When a jump is not sufficient to resolve the problem, we can arrange a tow to a service location of your choice.
See our dedicated [Jump Start Service] page for more detail on this service.
Car Lockout Service
A lockout happens when the keys are inside the vehicle and the doors are locked. This can happen in seconds and always happens at the worst possible moment. South Bend Towing Service provides professional lockout assistance to get you back into your vehicle without damage to the door, window, or lock mechanism.
Our drivers use proper equipment for vehicle entry. The goal is always to open the vehicle without causing damage. If you have a newer vehicle with advanced locking systems, call us and we will confirm the appropriate approach before arriving.

What to Do When Locked Out
If you find yourself locked out:
- Stay near the vehicle and call (574) 900-3044 immediately
- Do not attempt to break a window or force entry with improvised tools. This typically causes significant damage and may not be necessary
- If you have a spare key at home, confirm whether having it retrieved or calling for lockout assistance is faster based on distance
- In a situation where a child or animal is locked inside the vehicle, call 911 immediately
Our team can often arrive faster than a friend with a spare key depending on location. Call and ask for an estimated time.
What to Do With a Dead Battery
When your battery dies:
- Turn off all accessories and lights to preserve any remaining charge
- Call (574) 900-3044 and provide your location
- Do not attempt to push-start a modern vehicle. Push-starting is unreliable on automatic transmissions and can cause transmission damage
- Keep your hazard lights on if you are in a traffic area
The driver will arrive with the right equipment and handle the jump start process correctly.
