My Jetta needs to be taken in for a repair. The problem is that the battery has died and the electric key will not unlock the doors. An old accident damaged my front door, and I cannot manually unlock that door. I can manually unlock the trunk, but the rear seats are locked in.

Any ideas on how I can access the car? Or at least, is it possible for a mechanic to open my hood if I can't get inside to pop it up?

Thanks for any advice!
