Ignition Repair & Replacement FAQ
Why will my key not turn?
Common causes are a locked steering wheel, a worn key, or worn wafers in the cylinder. Try gently turning the wheel while turning the key; if that fails, call us.
Do I have to tow the car?
No. Ignition work is done where the car sits.
Is it the key or the ignition?
If a fresh key cut by code still sticks, it is the ignition.
Will I need a new key?
Not usually. The new cylinder is matched to your key.
Can it be done where the car is?
Yes.
