Our ignition repair service diagnoses the problem at your vehicle and repairs or rebuilds the ignition where possible, so you can start your car reliably again without an unexpected tow.

  • Diagnosing sticking or stuck ignitions
  • Repairing or rebuilding ignition cylinders

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it the key or the ignition?

Sometimes a worn key is the cause and a new key fixes it; other times the cylinder needs repair. We diagnose both.

Can you fix this at my location?

In many cases yes. Our mobile team performs ignition work on-site whenever possible.

What if the ignition cannot be repaired?

Then ignition replacement may be the right step, which we can also handle.

Will I need a new key too?

Sometimes. If the key is worn we will cut a fresh one so the repair lasts.
