Ignition Problems We Fix
Ignition cylinders wear out — especially on high-mileage vehicles and keys carrying heavy keychains. Our technicians diagnose whether the fault is the key, the wafers, or the cylinder itself, then repair or replace the minimum necessary.
Ignition Services
- Key stuck in the ignition — removed without damaging the cylinder
- Key won’t turn — worn wafers serviced or the cylinder rekeyed
- Ignition cylinder replacement — new cylinder fitted and keyed to your existing key where possible
- Broken key extraction — snapped keys removed from the ignition
- New keys cut to the ignition — after repair, tested before we leave
Don't Force a Stuck Key
Forcing a reluctant key can snap it off in the cylinder and turn a modest repair into a bigger one. Jiggling gently is fine — pliers and lubricant sprays are not. If it won’t turn, call us first. Some ignition faults are known manufacturer issues — check the NHTSA recall lookup with your VIN.
