Good to know: Removing the lock usually destroys it; bring or buy standard lug nuts to replace it.
What it’s like in University Park
Student cars can sit for weeks over winter and summer breaks, and a battery that bakes through July may not start the car in August. Errands around Snider Plaza mean many short trips and restarts. Parking near campus is tight, and a car that dies in a permit lot or a garage takes a little more planning to reach.
We cover Park Cities, Snider Plaza, Preston Center and SMU campus and the rest of University Park (75205, 75225).
Before you call from a lot near SMU, check the posted parking rules and tell us about any permit, gate or ticket so the technician can get to the car.

While you wait

Questions
01Can you help with a student car parked near SMU?
Yes. Tell us the lot or street and any permit rules. If the car is in a restricted campus lot, we confirm with you that a service vehicle can get in before we head out.
02Will my car's battery survive a summer parked in University Park?
The car will be fine, but the battery may not. Weeks of heat and sitting drain it, so start the car once a week or connect a battery maintainer if you can.
03Will removing the lock scratch my rim?
The tools grip the lock, not the wheel. On recessed or painted wheels the technician tells you the risk before starting.
04Can you do it and change my flat?
Yes. Book both in one request so one visit covers it.
