FAQ'S

Helpful Insights on Ignition Issues

Below you will find detailed answers regarding common ignition failures, our repair process, and what to expect.

1. Why won't my key turn in the ignition?

This often happens due to worn-out wafers inside the cylinder or a worn-down key blade. We diagnose the exact mechanical obstruction to determine if a simple repair or a cylinder replacement is the best solution. We advise against jiggling the key aggressively, as this can worsen the internal damage.
Yes, we have specialized extraction tools to remove broken key fragments safely without damaging the lock. Once the debris is cleared, we inspect the cylinder for any internal damage and can cut a new key to replace the broken one immediately.
Not always. In many cases, we can replace just the internal lock cylinder or specific tumblers. This approach restores functionality without the higher cost of replacing the entire steering column housing or switch assembly.

4. If you replace the ignition, will my door keys still work?

If we install a brand new ignition cylinder, it typically comes with its own key. However, we often have the ability to rekey the new ignition cylinder to match your existing door keys. This ensures you can continue using a single key for the entire vehicle.
It is important not to force it, as pulling too hard can damage the internal components or snap the key. The issue is likely a mechanical failure within the lock tumblers or the shifter linkage. We can disassemble the cylinder carefully to release the key and repair the underlying problem.
Yes, we frequently repair ignitions that have been tampered with. We will assess the extent of the damage to the lock cylinder and the surrounding housing. If the damage is repairable, we will fix it; if the structural integrity is compromised, we will recommend a secure replacement.
