One of my kids accidentally locked the keys in our Denali tonight. Called Onstar and they sent 3 messages to my truck to unlock the doors and each one failed.
They could not open the doors as the truck was in the garage. The signal would not reach my truck through the walls and roof of the garage
Onstar said that they would send out a tow truck to unlock my truck free of charge in an hour or so.
45 minutes later a BMW motorcycle arrives. Guy comes to the door and says he is here to unlock my doors.
Wow, we were expecting a tow truck. He unlocks the truck and we start talking.
He tells me that this is the only motorcycle in Calgary that performs unlocks, boosts, etc. He carries jerry cans, first aid kits and is fully equipped to do emergency roadside assistance. Turns out the BMW is a former CHP motorcycle and he brought it up from the states for this purpose.
I guess these CHP BMW motorcycles are equipped with heavy duty alternators, ABS brakes and a variety of other features that make them stand out from the public ones.
Long story short, great idea and great service! He made a good point, why send out a large diesel truck to do an unlocking when they have this motorcycle!
Anyway thanks to City Wide for their prompt and professional service!
Oh and Onstar.....if my truck was ever stolen and parked in a garage or dumped in an underground parking lot how would you help find it
The BMW is like the one pictured below but it is now vinyl wrapped in blue, white and gold to match City Wide's trucks.
