Ignition problems
When the problem is not the key
A key that sticks or will not turn can mean a worn key, a damaged ignition cylinder, or a steering lock issue. Finding the actual cause first avoids paying for the wrong repair.
Tell us what you are seeing and what vehicle you have, and ask what is included before work begins. We have handled ignition jobs including a 2014 Ford Fiesta where the key would not turn.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Why won't my key turn?
Common causes include a worn key, ignition wear, or steering lock pressure. Try gently turning the wheel while turning the key.
Can you repair it at my location?
Often, yes. It depends on the vehicle and the problem.
Should I force the key?
No. Forcing it can snap the key. If that happens, see our broken key extraction service.
Do you need a new key too?
Sometimes. We will tell you what your car needs before any work begins.
