    Hi folks. A friend of mine just rang me there her son locked her keys of her car into the boot by accident. Car was locked as he only pressed the boot release key to open the boot. She has no spare key or no AA on her insurance policy. Any suggestions please. It's not looking good. The car is an Audi A5. She is in Tipperary area. Ta

    Either ring the main dealer or the lock doctor. They're based in Limerick but have a call out service

    A good Auto locksmith can gain access in a couple of seconds. I had a similar problem last year with a Passat.

    Happened me with an A4.
    Only option after exploring all other options was to get a locksmith. Took him a good while (from memory about 15mins) and cost 90 euro.

    Is it totally out of the question for her to get someone to bring her the spare key from home?
