Exclamation Kindof embarrasing issue...

So i need some help getting in my car. i do not have a trunk, or door key. all i have is my remote unlock and unfortunately my battery is dead. is there a way to get my hood open so i can charge battery enough so my remote unlock works? i don't want to try breaking in with a coat hanger or whatever you use and somehow break something and don't have the extra cash to have a door key made. any suggestions? Has this very suck-ish problem ever happened to anyone else?

Got my keys locked in my monte. I called a lock smith and luckily he said it was very easy with a slimjim. Literally took only 10 seconds for him to unlock it. Prices vary, but I am assuming that would be the easiest solution.

A tow truck can probably do it for like 35 bucks since you dont want to do it yourself. Id come do it for you but grand blanc is a little far away for a favor.

One the good things about OnStar. I know you don't have it though. Sorry.
