Ignition Repair Questions
Answered

Everything you need to know about our ignition repair service

Why won't my key turn in the ignition?
expand_more
Common causes include worn ignition cylinder wafers, damaged key, steering wheel lock engaged, or debris in the cylinder. We diagnose the exact cause and provide the appropriate repair - from simple cleaning to cylinder replacement.
Can ignition cylinders be repaired or must they be replaced?
expand_more
Sometimes minor issues can be repaired through cleaning, lubrication, or wafer adjustment. However, severely worn or damaged cylinders require replacement. We always attempt repair first to save you money, but replace when necessary for reliability.
How long does ignition repair take?
expand_more
Most ignition repairs or replacements are completed on-site the same day. This includes diagnosis, cylinder replacement if needed, cutting new keys to match, and thorough testing of all functions.
Will I need new keys after ignition replacement?
expand_more
We can often key the new cylinder to match your existing keys, so you won't need new ones. If your keys are worn or if keying to existing keys isn't possible, we'll cut new keys on-site as part of the service.
Can you fix electrical ignition switch problems?
expand_more
Yes. We diagnose and repair ignition switch electrical problems including faulty contacts, wiring issues, and failed switch assemblies. If accessories won't turn on or the starter won't engage despite a good key turn, it's likely the switch.
What causes ignitions to wear out?
expand_more
Normal wear from repeated use over years, heavy keychains putting stress on the cylinder, worn keys that don't engage wafers properly, and environmental factors like moisture and dirt. High-mileage vehicles naturally experience more ignition wear.
