Common Ignition Problems We Fix

Our automotive locksmiths handle every type of ignition issue:

• Ignition won’t turn — steering wheel lock, worn wafers in the cylinder, or wrong key
• Key stuck in ignition — shift-lock not engaged, damaged key or cylinder pin
• Broken key in ignition — key snapped during turn; requires extraction before the car can start
• Ignition cylinder worn out — key wiggles excessively, needs multiple attempts to start
• Ignition replacement after break-in — damaged or drilled ignition from theft attempt
• No key available — lost all keys; ignition rekey or replacement with new key programming

Our Ignition Repair Process

Our mobile automotive locksmith arrives at your location with everything needed to diagnose and repair the ignition on site:

1. Diagnosis — visual and mechanical inspection to determine whether the cylinder, the key, or an electrical component is the cause
2. Broken key extraction — if a key fragment is lodged in the cylinder, we use precision extractor tools to remove it without damaging the housing
3. Cylinder repair or replacement — worn wafers can sometimes be replaced; fully seized or damaged cylinders are replaced with a new OEM-compatible unit, rekeyed to your existing key profile when possible
4. New key cutting and programming — if no working key exists, we cut a new key and program the transponder chip to match your vehicle
5. Function test — we verify start, accessory, and lock positions work correctly before leaving

Ignition Repair vs. Ignition Replacement — What to Expect

Not every ignition problem requires a full replacement. Cylinder repairs (wafer replacement) are faster and cheaper. Full cylinder replacement is necessary when the housing is physically damaged. We give you an upfront quote before any work begins so there are no surprises. Most ignition jobs are completed in 30–60 minutes on site.
