Signs Your Ignition Needs Attention

Key won't turn or turns with excessive force; key is difficult to insert or remove; ignition feels loose or wobbly; car starts intermittently; key gets stuck in the 'on' position; or the steering wheel locks up. Don't ignore these signs — an ignition failure on the road is a costly situation.

Ignition Repair vs Replacement

Minor wear can often be repaired by lubricating or replacing worn internal components. Significant damage typically requires full cylinder replacement. When we replace the ignition cylinder, we rekey it to match your existing door key where possible, so you don't end up with a separate ignition key.

Broken Key in Ignition

If you have a broken key in your ignition, see our broken key extraction service first — in most cases we can retrieve the fragment without replacing the ignition.
