Why Ignition & Lock Issues Should Never Be Ignored?

If your ignition starts sticking or your locks require more effort than usual, that’s a warning sign. These systems rarely fail all at once. They gradually deteriorate until one day the key simply won’t turn or the lock becomes completely jammed. Addressing the problem early prevents towing, delays, and more expensive repairs.

A smooth, reliable ignition and lock system also protects your security. When locks misalign, they become vulnerable to tampering. When ignitions fail, they leave you stranded.

Our Services

Complete Ignition & Lock Repair Services

We service older mechanical systems, modern transponder-based ignitions, and everything in between.

Ignition Repair

One of the most common ignition problems is a key that no longer turns. This is usually caused by worn tumblers, a partially damaged key, or misalignment inside the ignition cylinder. We carefully disassemble the ignition, replace worn wafers, adjust springs, clean internal components, and restore the original function of the lock. Repair often saves money over full replacement and keeps your ignition matched to your existing key, preventing you from needing two separate keys for your vehicle.

Ignition Replacement

If the ignition is too damaged to repair, we replace the entire ignition cylinder with a new, high-quality part. This often happens when the ignition has been forced, jammed, or completely seized internally. We install the new unit, ensure it aligns properly with the steering column, and match it to your existing key when possible. For newer push-to-start vehicles, ignition systems require specialized programming and recalibration, which we perform on-site with advanced diagnostic tools.

Car Door Lock Repair

Worn door locks can prevent the key from turning, jam intermittently, or stop responding to the fob. Internal wafers may break, springs may fail, or the lock may become contaminated with dirt or debris. We restore the lock by servicing the internal components, cleaning the cylinder, and realigning the mechanism for smooth operation. Many locks can be repaired the same day, without removing or replacing the entire assembly.

Car Door Lock Replacement

When locks are damaged due to attempted theft, weather conditions, or severe internal wear, replacement is the best solution. We install new lock cylinders that match your existing key system so you don’t end up with one key for the door and another for the ignition. We also ensure the new lock aligns perfectly with the door’s internal rods and linkages.

Broken Key Extraction

Keys often break inside ignitions or locks due to internal wear or weakened metal. Extracting the broken tip requires precision tools and proper technique to avoid further damage. We remove the broken key safely and repair the lock or ignition as needed so the issue doesn’t repeat. If required, we also cut a replacement key on the spot.

Ignition & Lock Troubleshooting

Sometimes the problem is not the lock itself but the alignment of the door, a weak electronic signal, or a miscommunication between the transponder and the immobilizer. We use diagnostic tools and mechanical inspection to locate the exact cause. From there, we apply the correct repair — not guesswork or unnecessary replacement.
