Our process

How it works

  1. Diagnose

    We determine if it is the key, the cylinder or an electrical issue.

  2. Repair or replace

    Worn wafers are serviced or the cylinder is replaced.

  3. Match your keys

    Where possible the new cylinder works with your current key.

FAQ

Ignition Repair & Replacement FAQs

Why will my key not turn in the ignition?

Common causes are a worn key, worn wafers inside the cylinder, or the steering wheel lock being engaged. Try gently turning the steering wheel while turning the key. If that does not work, call us.

Do I need a new key with a new ignition?

Usually not. We can rekey most replacement cylinders to match your existing key, and transponder programming stays the same.
