What is the Trunk Latch all about?

The trunk latch is the mechanism that holds a trunk closed. When the trunk latch is engaged, the trunk can only be opened by a handheld remote or a key.

In most newer cars, a trunk latch works much the same as a door latch. Generally, two components make up the trunk latch: the U shaped anchor, which sits in the frame of the vehicle, and the latching mechanism in the lid to the trunk. Either or both pieces could fail, causing the trunk latch to malfunction. The trunk latch can be triggered with the same handheld remote that opens the car door.

Older cars generally use a cylinder system that can be opened with a key. This system operates using a cylinder and striker, and the key that is used generally matches the door locks. The latch that holds the trunk locked is located in the striker.

Keep in mind:

While this may not seem like a serious issue, if the trunk latch opens suddenly in traffic, debris could be blown out of your trunk and into the path of other vehicles.

How it's done:

The trunk latch is verified to be needing replaced
The defective trunk latch is removed
The new trunk latch is installed
The inside trim panel is reinstalled to complete repair
The trunk is checked for proper operation

Our recommendation:

If you suspect that the trunk latch has failed, or is about to fail, call our expert mechanics to diagnose the trunk latch. There are different components that make up the trunk latch, so it’s important to know which part is failing before repairs are begun.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Trunk Latch?

Trunk won’t stay closed
Trunk has to be slammed hard to get the latch to engage
Latch comes open if the car is jostled, such as hitting a bump or stopping suddenly

How important is this service?

While it may not be a huge deal to the driver, it will be a huge deal to anyone who ends up with a trunk load of groceries in their path if items are blown out of an open trunk. Any items secured in the trunk may not be safe.

I really liked James' professional approach to the job. He arrived on-time, came with a very organized tool kit and quickly completed the job. He also performed a thorough inspection of the car. To top it all off, he came in a mask and gloves. Thank you, James!!

Volvo XC70 L6-3.0L Turbo - Car Battery Replacement - Marietta, Georgia

Excellent work and clear explanations. Arranged for him to come out to replace the dead battery in my wife's car. He arrived for the appointment, started working on disconnecting the battery and found the negative battery terminal corroded and the cable was shot. Turned out the existing battery was cracked. He showed me the problem and it was more battery corrosion since we changed to maintenance-free batteries. He called the local dealer and arranged for them to order the part. I picked the part up two days later. Collins came back the next morning and completed the battery installation. He took everything with him - no mess in the car or on the driveway. I will definitely use him again.
