Common questions about ignition repair
Quick answers to what most callers ask first.
My key won't turn the ignition. Is it the lock or the key?
It can be either — or it can be a steering lock or transmission interlock. We’ll diagnose on-site before quoting any parts.
Can a worn ignition be rebuilt or do I need a new one?
Sometimes a rebuild with new wafers is enough. Sometimes the cylinder is too worn and a replacement is the right call. We’ll show you what we find.
Do you do ignition work on push-to-start vehicles?
Yes — including proximity-key faults that prevent the vehicle from recognizing the key.
