A worn ignition cylinder makes the key stick, turn only with jiggling, or refuse to turn at all. We repair, rekey and replace ignition cylinders and match a new key to them.
Signs of ignition trouble
The key turns only partway, the key gets stuck in the ignition, the steering wheel stays locked, or the key turns but nothing happens. Some of these point to the cylinder, others to the key itself, and we check both.

Frequently asked questions
Can you fix it without the dealer?
Yes, for most vehicles we work on the ignition at your car.
My key turns but the car will not start. Is that the ignition?
It can be the key chip, the ignition switch or something else. We help narrow it down.
Can you match the ignition to my door key?
Usually, yes.
