Car lockout in Edison, NJ: locked keys, trunks and fobs opened damage-free at Menlo Park Mall, on Route 1 or in your driveway, 24/7
The door locked with the keys inside, in a driveway in Menlo Park, in the lot at Route 1 dealer row or at a station on Route 1. A technician leaves Linden the minute you approve the flat price and has the door open about 20 minutes later, with no scratch to show for it.
Why Edison drivers call us for car lockout before anyone else
A car lockout in Edison means a technician from Linden about 20 minutes away opens the locked door or trunk with inflatable wedges and long-reach tools, without touching wiring or glass, at one flat price, with proof of ownership checked after entry.
Today's doors have shielded lock rods and side-impact airbags, and a wire down the window channel can cost a six-hundred-dollar repair. Our technicians use inflatable wedges that spread pressure across the door frame and long-reach tools that work the interior handle or the unlock button without touching the wiring or the glass edge. Keys in the trunk with the rear seat folded, a fob locked inside a push-button car, an engine running with the doors locked at a pump on Route 1: all of it is daily work in Edison.
One of the largest townships in the state, stretching from the Route 1 retail corridor and Menlo Park Mall to the Raritan River and Piscataway. Corporate campuses, Middlesex College, Oak Tree Road's Indian business district, dense apartment complexes, and tens of thousands of commuters on the Northeast Corridor. Every vehicle type imaginable, including the AWD and electric cars that need a flatbed. That is where the lockouts happen, and the technician's van reaches all of it.
Damage-free entry on modern doors in Edison
The slim jim belongs to a generation of cars that has mostly left Edison. Inside a modern door are shielded lock rods, a side airbag and a harness running down the window channel, and a tool fishing blind in there does expensive things. Our technician never goes inside the door. The wedge inflates at the top corner of the frame and opens a gap the glass can tolerate; the long-reach tool reaches the handle or the unlock button through it. The weatherstrip, the paint and the wiring are untouched.
The Edison spots that produce lockout calls
The Menlo Park Mall and dealer-row strip; jughandles, constant merges, rear-end collisions and lot lockouts. The stations along it and the lots at Menlo Park Mall and Route 1 dealer row are where most Edison lockouts happen, with driveways in Oak Tree on cold mornings close behind. Everything from open mall lots to apartment-complex garages and tight Oak Tree Road curbs. Dispatch asks whether the car is in a deck; most complexes have surface lots a flatbed reaches easily. None of that changes the price; it only tells the technician where to pull in, and he reaches any of it in about 20 minutes.
The lockout that cannot wait
A child or a dog locked in a car at Menlo Park Mall or in an Edison driveway is an emergency before it is a lockout. Dial 911, then (908) 444-0129. The police can break a window if they arrive first, and on a summer afternoon that is the right outcome. Tell our dispatcher there is a child or a pet inside and the technician is sent ahead of every other call.
We open the door; we do not make keys
We open the door. We do not cut or program keys. If your key is lost rather than locked inside, we get you into the car and can tow it to a dealer or an automotive locksmith, or you call a mobile locksmith to cut one on site. After entry the technician asks for ID and registration or insurance in the car; it protects you and everyone else in Edison whose car we might be asked to open.
If you need car lockout in Edison this minute, stop reading and call. A dispatcher answers around the clock and gives the price before anything moves.
Call (908) 444-0129All towing in EdisonFive steps from locked out in Edison to back in the driver's seat
The dispatcher takes the location in Edison, where the keys are and the make and model, quotes one flat price, and sends the technician from Linden; he opens the door with a wedge and a long-reach tool, checks your ID against the registration, takes payment and you drive off.
Step one: where the car is in Edison
A lockout is not hard to find if you say where: pump four at the station on I-287, the row nearest the entrance at Route 1 dealer row, the address and cross street in Menlo Park, or the level of the deck. The technician can be at the wrong end of a big lot for ten minutes otherwise.
Step two: the keys and the car
On the seat, in the trunk at Menlo Park Mall, in the ignition with the engine running at a pump on Route 1, or a fob inside a push-button car. Year, make and model. Each changes the tool and the approach, and knowing before he leaves Linden means the technician has the right one out when he reaches Edison.
Step three: one number for an Edison lockout
You hear one flat number for the lockout, and it is the same at 2 a.m. in Menlo Park as at noon at Menlo Park Mall. Say yes and the technician leaves Linden; say no and you owe nothing. A tow to a dealer or a locksmith, if the key is actually lost, is a separate quote you can take or leave.
Step four: wedge, gap, tool, open
From the outside it looks like nothing: a small inflatable wedge at the corner of the frame, a thin tool through the gap, and the lock pops. Keys in the trunk at Route 1 dealer row add one step, the rear-seat release or the trunk button from inside the cabin. No marked weatherstrip, no scratched paint, no wiring touched.
Step five: the paperwork at the car
The technician asks for ID and the registration or insurance card in the car before you leave Menlo Park Mall or the driveway. Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or cash, with an itemized receipt for the Edison lockout that a roadside plan will reimburse.
Have the road, the cross street and the make and model ready. That is all the dispatcher needs to quote car lockout in Edison.
Call dispatch nowWhat to have readyThe first hour of a car lockout call in Edison: the call, the quote, the drive from Linden and the repair on the spot
Count on about three minutes on the phone with the dispatcher, about 20 minutes for the technician to reach Edison from Linden, and under twenty minutes of work at the car before you are driving again in most cases.
The fastest way to take the stress out of car lockout in Edison is to know the order of events. This is it, start to finish.
Minute zero: the call from Edison
A dispatcher answers (908) 444-0129 at any hour; there is no menu and no callback queue. The questions are the same every time: where exactly is the car (the road, the direction, the nearest cross street or exit, such as NJ Turnpike Exit 10, or the name of the lot), what is it, what happened, and what you have already tried. If you are on the shoulder of Route 1, say so first; shoulder calls are moved to the front of the line. Turnpike and Parkway shoulders are served by the Authority's authorized garages. Book with us and we take the car from the exit or the garage's lot.
The quote and the dispatch, before the third minute
Three facts (where the car is in Edison, what it is and what is wrong with it) are enough for one exact number. For roadside it is a flat price for the service, and it does not move when the technician arrives. Say yes and a truck is assigned while you are on the line, with an arrival window built from its real position rather than a promise. No card is charged until the work is done.
About 20 minutes on the road: Linden to Edison
The truck comes in on Route 1 and I-287 and uses NJ Turnpike Exit 10. Off-peak it is about 20 minutes; in a storm the dispatcher tells you the honest number. The driver calls when he is a few minutes out so you know which truck is yours and can point out the car. Use the wait to gather the key, your license, registration and insurance card, and take anything you need out of the car.
On scene in Edison: the car lockout itself
Name confirmed, photo taken, tools out: that is the first minute on scene in Edison. The technician works from the truck's lights on the shoulder of Route 1 or in a lot at Menlo Park Mall, and says before packing up whether the battery, the tire or the lock needs a shop visit soon. You are shown the result before you pay.
Afterward: the itemized receipt and the follow-up
The last step is the receipt, sent by text or email with the service and the price quoted on the call itemized, which is the document an insurer or a roadside plan asks for when you claim it back. If the car needs a second move later, from the shop to home, say, the same dispatch line quotes it as a local tow in Edison. For the full picture of towing in Edison, see all towing in Edison.
Call (908) 444-0129 and the hour begins: a quote in three minutes, a technician in Edison in about 20 minutes.
Call dispatch nowWhat to have readyThe roads into Edison: car lockout response on Route 1, I-287, NJ Turnpike and Route 27
Route 1, I-287 and NJ Turnpike carry our trucks from Linden into Edison, with NJ Turnpike Exit 10, I-287 exits at Route 1, Durham Avenue and Route 27 and Garden State Parkway Exit 131 (Metropark, adjacent) as the ramps we use, and we answer car lockout calls on all of them; on the Turnpike and Parkway shoulders the Authority's authorized garage brings the car off the highway and we take it from the exit.
Every road below is one our drivers run to and through Edison. The notes are what they actually know about each one. When you call for car lockout, say the road, the direction and the nearest cross street or exit.
Route 1 through Edison: car lockout on the road and off it
The Menlo Park Mall and dealer-row strip; jughandles, constant merges, rear-end collisions and lot lockouts. Lockouts on Route 1 are usually at a gas station or a store lot; say the station name and the pump and the technician pulls in behind you.
I-287 through Edison: car lockout on the road and off it
Runs through northern Edison toward Piscataway and the Turnpike; the Route 1 interchange and the Durham Avenue stretch are frequent breakdown spots. Tell the dispatcher which side of I-287 the car is on and the nearest business; the technician approaches from the right direction the first time.
NJ Turnpike at Edison: the Authority's garage first, then car lockout from us
Exit 10 is Edison's; the I-287 connection and the Raritan toll plaza area back up daily. On the New Jersey Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway the shoulder itself is served by the Turnpike Authority's authorized garages; book with us anyway, and once the authorized truck has the car off the highway we take it from the exit or the garage's lot to the shop or driveway you choose, at the same flat quoted price.
Route 27 through Edison: car lockout on the road and off it
Cuts through the township from Metuchen to Highland Park; slow, parked-up, tows to local shops. If the engine is running with the doors locked at a pump on Route 27, the attendant will usually let the car sit; the technician is minutes away.
Oak Tree Road through Edison: car lockout on the road and off it
The business district; double-parking, tight turns and constant roadside calls. A lockout on Oak Tree Road is the same flat price as one in an Edison driveway; only the arrival window changes.
Amboy Avenue / Plainfield Avenue / Woodbridge Avenue through Edison: car lockout on the road and off it
The township's long local spines; commuter traffic and neighborhood driveways. Tell the dispatcher which side of Amboy Avenue / Plainfield Avenue / Woodbridge Avenue the car is on and the nearest business; the technician approaches from the right direction the first time.
Highway exits that serve Edison
For Edison the ramps to know are NJ Turnpike Exit 10, I-287 exits at Route 1, Durham Avenue and Route 27 and Garden State Parkway Exit 131 (Metropark, adjacent). A driver on the highway who can give an exit number and a direction gets the car lockout truck on the right side of the road the first time. For the Turnpike and Parkway express lanes with no exit, the Authority's garage handles the shoulder and we meet the car at the exit.
Stopped on a shoulder near Edison? Stay belted, hazards on, and call with the road, your direction and the nearest exit.
Call from the shoulderTowing in EdisonCar lockout at the places Edison drivers stop: JFK Medical Center, Thomas Edison Center at Menlo Park and Raritan Center industrial park and the Edison station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) and its lots lot
JFK Medical Center, Thomas Edison Center at Menlo Park, Raritan Center industrial park, Edison station and Menlo Park Mall and Edison station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) and its lots and Metropark station on the Iselin border are where Edison drivers most often need car lockout, and each is about 20 minutes from a Linden truck or technician.
Car lockout at JFK Medical Center
At JFK Medical Center the technician meets you at the car, not the door of the store. Have your ID ready; after the door is open he checks it against the registration inside. The whole thing takes minutes.
Thomas Edison Center at Menlo Park: car lockout response
Keys locked in the car at Thomas Edison Center at Menlo Park is one of the Edison calls we get most: bags in the trunk, keys in with them. Say which lot or which entrance and the technician reaches the car in about 20 minutes from Linden and opens it damage-free.
Raritan Center industrial park: car lockout response
At Raritan Center industrial park the technician meets you at the car, not the door of the store. Have your ID ready; after the door is open he checks it against the registration inside. The whole thing takes minutes.
Edison station: car lockout response
Lockouts at Edison station tend to happen at the worst moment, with a cart full and the trunk shut on the keys. Say the row you are in; a technician from Linden is about 20 minutes out and opens the car without a mark.
Car lockout at Menlo Park Mall
At Menlo Park Mall the technician meets you at the car, not the door of the store. Have your ID ready; after the door is open he checks it against the registration inside. The whole thing takes minutes.
Car lockout when the car stops at Route 1 dealer row
A fob locked inside a push-button car at Route 1 dealer row is opened the same way as a key on the seat: wedge, gap, long-reach tool to the unlock button. No window, no scratch.
Edison station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) and its lots and Metropark station on the Iselin border: car lockout in the commuter lot
The commuter lots at Edison station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) and its lots and Metropark station on the Iselin border produce lockouts every evening: fob left in the console, spare key in the glovebox, doors locked out of habit. A technician meets you at the car, opens it in minutes, and can jump it too if it sat with a light on.
Stuck at JFK Medical Center or another of these places? Give the name and the lot section, and the truck or the technician heads out.
Call (908) 444-0129Every service in EdisonThe lockouts Edison calls us for, from Menlo Park Mall to the pumps on Route 1
Edison lockout calls come in six shapes: keys visible on the seat, keys in the trunk with the shopping, a fob inside a push-button car, a running engine with the doors locked, a child or an animal locked in, and commercial cabs on Route 1 and at Menlo Park Mall.
Locked out with the keys on the seat at Menlo Park Mall
The most common Edison lockout and the quickest fix: a wedge at the frame, a tool through the gap, the handle pulled from inside. Tell the dispatcher which section of Menlo Park Mall you are in, have your license ready, and the door is open minutes after the van arrives.
Keys in the trunk with the bags
Keys dropped in the trunk at Route 1 dealer row and the lid shut on them: the door is opened first, and from inside the trunk release or the fold-down seat gets to the keys. No crowbar on an Edison trunk lid, ever.
Push-button cars that locked the fob in
Keyless cars are supposed to refuse to lock with the fob inside, and sometimes they lock anyway. The door opens with the wedge and the long-reach tool like any other; the fob is inside, so the car starts as soon as you are. The make and model on the call tells the technician which button to reach for.
Engine running, doors locked at a pump on Route 1
The stations along Route 1 in Edison see this weekly: engine on, doors locked, driver outside with a coffee. Nothing bad happens to an idling car. Tell the attendant help is minutes out, and the technician opens the door without shutting anything off or touching the wiring.
The Edison lockout that is an emergency first
Dial 911 before you dial us. A child or a dog in a locked car heats up fast, and a broken window is nothing next to that. The technician drives to Edison ahead of every other call, and if the police open it first the hard way, good.
Box trucks and sprinters locked out in Edison
A delivery van locked at the dock at Menlo Park Mall or a box truck on Route 1 with the keys in the cab is a lockout with a clock on it. Commercial doors are built differently and the technician knows them; the entry is just as clean. Fleets get a direct line, and heavy duty towing in Edison covers everything else that goes wrong with a truck.
One call covers every situation above in Edison; describe it, and the right truck or tech is sent.
Call (908) 444-0129Car lockout explainedWhat car lockout costs in Edison, how the price is built, and why it is quoted before a truck leaves Linden
Lockout pricing in Edison is a single flat number given before the technician leaves Linden, the same at midnight and on holidays, with no membership required; only a lost key adds a separate quoted tow to a dealer or an automotive locksmith.
What the Edison lockout price covers
The lockout price covers the technician's trip from Linden and opening the door or the trunk. It does not change because it is midnight, because it is raining, or because the car is a push-button model. The dispatcher quotes it before the technician rolls toward Edison.
Lost keys: what changes on the bill
A lost key means the lockout gets you into the car and no farther. From there you have two paid options and one free one: a tow to a dealer or a locksmith at a quoted hook plus mileage, a mobile locksmith who comes to Edison, or leaving the car where it is. We add the tow only when you ask.
Paying, and reimbursement
The technician takes cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and cash once the door is open. Keep the itemized receipt: it shows where in Edison the car was, that the service was a lockout, and what it cost, which is what a roadside plan asks for to pay you back.
Why the Edison price is quoted on the phone, not printed here
Prices depend on the truck the job needs and the distance to where you want the car, and both are known in thirty seconds on the phone. That is why the website says "quoted first" instead of printing a number that would be wrong for half of Edison.
Want the number for car lockout in Edison before you decide? Call; the quote takes half a minute and costs nothing.
Call for a quoteSchedule insteadCar lockout in every Edison neighborhood: Menlo Park, Oak Tree, Clara Barton and Raritan Center and more
Car lockout is dispatched to every part of Edison, including Menlo Park, Oak Tree, Clara Barton, Raritan Center, Bonhamtown, North Edison, Piscatawaytown and Stelton, at the same flat quoted price.
Everything from open mall lots to apartment-complex garages and tight Oak Tree Road curbs. Dispatch asks whether the car is in a deck; most complexes have surface lots a flatbed reaches easily. The driver's first question is where the car is sitting, because the approach differs by street.
Menlo Park, Edison: car lockout response
Menlo Park gets the same response as the rest of Edison: a dispatcher who quotes car lockout on the call, a truck from Linden in about 20 minutes, and a driver who calls when he is minutes out. Give the cross streets in Menlo Park and whether the car is in a driveway, on the street or in a lot.
Oak Tree: what car lockout looks like here
Calls from Oak Tree are quoted the same flat way as anywhere in Edison. Tell the dispatcher the nearest cross street in Oak Tree and where the car is sitting, and the truck arrives set up for it.
Car lockout in Clara Barton
Calls from Clara Barton are quoted the same flat way as anywhere in Edison. Tell the dispatcher the nearest cross street in Clara Barton and where the car is sitting, and the truck arrives set up for it.
Raritan Center: what car lockout looks like here
Raritan Center gets the same response as the rest of Edison: a dispatcher who quotes car lockout on the call, a truck from Linden in about 20 minutes, and a driver who calls when he is minutes out. Give the cross streets in Raritan Center and whether the car is in a driveway, on the street or in a lot.
Bonhamtown: what car lockout looks like here
In Bonhamtown the approach depends on the street: a Bonhamtown driveway, a curb, a lot or a garage each get different rigging, and knowing before the truck leaves Linden means no second trip to Bonhamtown. Flat price, real window, itemized receipt, in Bonhamtown as everywhere in Edison.
North Edison, Edison: car lockout response
In North Edison the approach depends on the street: a North Edison driveway, a curb, a lot or a garage each get different rigging, and knowing before the truck leaves Linden means no second trip to North Edison. Flat price, real window, itemized receipt, in North Edison as everywhere in Edison.
No neighborhood in Edison is priced differently or answered slower for car lockout; the number and the dispatch are the same everywhere.
Call (908) 444-0129Contact dispatchWho calls for car lockout in Edison: commuters, families, small businesses and visitors passing through on Route 1
Car lockout in Edison serves roughly 107,000 residents and everyone driving through: commuters at Edison station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) and its lots, families in the residential streets, businesses near Menlo Park Mall, and drivers who only know Edison as an exit on Route 1.
One of the largest townships in the state, stretching from the Route 1 retail corridor and Menlo Park Mall to the Raritan River and Piscataway. Corporate campuses, Middlesex College, Oak Tree Road's Indian business district, dense apartment complexes, and tens of thousands of commuters on the Northeast Corridor. Every vehicle type imaginable, including the AWD and electric cars that need a flatbed. That mix shapes the car lockout calls we get from Edison.
The commuter's car in Edison: Edison station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) and its lots and the roads to it
Commuters make up most of the car lockout calls we get from Edison, and Edison station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) and its lots is where many of them start: the car sat all day and will not turn over at 6 p.m. The tech meets you at the car; if the car lockout does not solve it, the tow is dispatched from the same call with no second fee. What a commuter needs is an honest arrival window, and that is what the dispatcher gives.
Edison households: the minivan, the second car and the teenager's first flat
A township of about 107,000 people means thousands of family driveways, and the family car fails on a schedule: before school pickup, on the way to practice, the morning of a trip. Everything from open mall lots to apartment-complex garages and tight Oak Tree Road curbs. Dispatch asks whether the car is in a deck; most complexes have surface lots a flatbed reaches easily. The tech works around the kids and the dog, and the fix is done at the house. A child locked in a car means 911 first, then (908) 444-0129, and that call jumps the line.
Work vans, pickups and fleets around Menlo Park Mall
Contractors, landscapers and shop owners in Edison call for work vehicles that make money by moving. We quote the job, give the real arrival window and get the vehicle to the shop or the yard. Repeat callers are welcome to ask for an account so the paperwork is one email a month. Details on towing for Edison businesses.
Passing through Edison on Route 1 when the car quit
Edison sits on Route 1, which means strangers break down here every day. Our dispatcher knows the road by exit and by landmark, and the truck is set up for a shoulder pickup: lights, cones, and a fast load. If the car cannot be fixed on the shoulder, the tow is sent from the same call at the tow price.
It does not matter which of these drivers you are; (908) 444-0129 reaches the same Edison dispatch 24 hours a day, and the price is quoted before the truck moves.
Call (908) 444-0129Car lockout explainedCar lockout in Edison through the year: winter ice, pothole spring, summer heat and fall storms on Route 1
The trucks run to Edison in every month, but what they are sent for follows the calendar: dead batteries and ice on Route 1 in winter, pothole damage in spring, overheating and blown tires in summer, storms and deer strikes in the fall. Route 1 underpasses and the Raritan Center low ground flood; I-287's Edison stretch ices first.
Dispatch keeps the same hours all year, but a driver who has run to Edison for a few winters knows what the calendar does to the calls. The notes below are the pattern, so you know what to expect from car lockout in each season and what to do before you call.
Car lockout in Edison in winter: snow, ice and dead batteries
Winter lockouts are frozen locks, keys left in the car while it warmed up, and gloved hands that hit the lock button. The lot at Edison station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) and its lots empties late on winter evenings, and the cars left behind are ours to jump or tow. Say whether the car is behind a plow ridge, on a sloped driveway or on the shoulder of Route 1; each is rigged differently, and the dispatcher plans it before the truck leaves Linden.
Pothole season in Edison: March and April on I-287
Spring lockouts are keys dropped in a lot, left in a trunk during a cleanout, or locked inside during a quick errand. The spring calls cluster around Menlo Park Mall and along Route 1, where the traffic is heaviest and the pavement breaks first; if the steering wheel sits off-center after a hit, the car rides the flatbed to an alignment shop rather than chewing up a new tire on the way.
Car lockout in Edison in July and August
Summer lockouts are the most urgent: a child or a pet inside a hot car means call 911 first, then us, and we treat it as the first call of the hour. Summer in Edison also fills the lots at Menlo Park Mall, and a car that sat in the sun all afternoon on a weak battery does not start at closing time; the technician carries a jump pack and checks the coolant, and the flatbed is sent from the same call if the fix will not hold.
Fall car lockout in Edison: wet leaves, early dark and deer
Fall lockouts are keys left in the car at a station lot and fobs that died on the first cold morning. Wet leaves on the ramps off Route 1 are as slick as ice; a car that slid onto the grass is a winch-out in Edison, not a tow, and is priced that way.
The seasons change the calls from Edison, not the way we answer them: call (908) 444-0129, describe the car, and hear the price before the truck rolls.

Call nowMiddlesex County towingWhat Edison drivers want to know about car lockout, price and where the car goes
Arrival time to Edison, price, which truck, where the car can go, garages and lots, insurance and what to do while waiting; anything else, dispatch answers live.
I am locked out in Edison. When can you be here?
About 20 minutes from Linden on a normal day. Say it is a child or a pet inside and it becomes the priority; call 911 as well.
Will the door or the weatherstrip be damaged?
No. Air wedges spread the load across the frame instead of prying a point, and the long-reach tool stays away from the glass edge and the wiring. The door looks the same afterward.
Do you need proof it is my car?
Yes, after entry. Your license is checked against the registration or insurance card in the glovebox. That is how nobody else's car in Edison gets opened for a stranger.
Do you cut or program keys?
We do not cut or program keys. We get you into the car; from there a mobile locksmith can meet you, or we tow the car to a dealer on Route 1 or to a locksmith.
My keys are in the trunk. Can you get them?
Yes, and it is the same flat price. The technician opens the cabin and uses the trunk button or the rear-seat release. Nothing touches the trunk lid.
My fob is locked inside a push-button car. Can you open it?
Yes. A push-button car opens with the same wedge and long-reach tool, and since the fob is inside, the car starts as soon as you do. Say the model when you call.
I locked myself out with the car running at a station on Route 1. Is that a problem?
Tell the attendant a technician is about 20 minutes away. The car can sit at the pump on Route 1. The door is opened with the engine running and nothing is harmed.
Locked out at Menlo Park Mall: what should I tell dispatch?
At the car. Say which lot or which entrance at Menlo Park Mall and have your ID ready for after the door is open.
Does a lockout cost more at night in Edison?
No surcharge for night, weekend, holiday or weather. The price the dispatcher quotes is the price on the receipt.
Can I claim the lockout on my roadside plan?
Usually yes. Roadside plans reimburse out-of-network lockouts to their cap; send them our itemized receipt.
Something not answered here? Ask the dispatcher; the answer takes a sentence and the quote takes another.
