Ignition Repair & Replacement
Keys that will not turn, ignitions that will not start — repaired or replaced at the car.
When a key stops turning, the fault is as often the ignition as the key. Our automotive technicians diagnose wafers, worn key blades and failing ignition switches at the vehicle, rebuild or replace ignition cylinders, and match everything to your existing key where possible — so one key still runs the whole car.

Ignition Repair & Replacement Questions
Is it the key or the ignition?
A worn key is the cheaper suspect, so we test with a freshly cut code key first. If a perfect key still will not turn, the cylinder’s wafers are the problem — and that is a repair we do at the car.
Will I need two different keys afterward?
Not if we can help it. We key replacement ignitions to your existing key whenever the platform allows.
Can you fix it where the car sits?
Yes — ignition work is mobile work. Driveways, lots and garages across all three metros.
