How do you open the trunk of a 1998 Buick Century if keys are locked inside trunk?

There's no easy way to open a 1998 Buick Century trunk if the keys are locked inside, and there's no direct trunk release inside the car. Your options are limited and typically involve a locksmith or roadside assistance:

* Locksmith: This is the most reliable option. A locksmith has specialized tools to open the trunk without causing damage. They'll likely be able to get into the trunk without damaging the car's paint or locks.

* Roadside Assistance: If you have roadside assistance coverage (through your auto insurance or a separate plan), they can often send a locksmith or technician who can help.

* Dealing with the rear seat (if possible): Some models *might* allow access to the trunk through the rear seat, but the 1998 Buick Century is unlikely to have this feature. It's worth a quick check, but don't force anything.

* Do not attempt to force the trunk open: This will likely cause damage to the lock mechanism, paint, or surrounding areas. It will likely be more expensive to repair the damage than to call a professional.

In short: Call a locksmith or your roadside assistance provider. It's the safest and most cost-effective solution in the long run.
