Saturn Ion lockout, keys and ignition service
The Saturn Ion is a sedan we see regularly on DC streets and in DC garages. Saturn models used GM keys and ignitions; worn ignition cylinders are a known issue on the Ion and Vue, and we repair or replace them on site.
Saturn Ion lockout
Locked out of your Saturn Ion? A technician arrives in 15–25 minutes anywhere in DC and opens it without damage. On sedans the most common lockout is keys left in the trunk. Many models disable the inside trunk release when the doors are locked, so we open the cabin first and then release the trunk. More about car lockout service.
Saturn Ion key made
If you lost your only Saturn Ion key, we cut a new one by code or by decoding the lock and program it at the car, so no tow is needed. Have your ID and registration ready. More about car key replacement.
Saturn Ion key programming
We program transponder keys, remote-head keys and push-to-start fobs for the Saturn Ion, add spares, and erase lost keys from the vehicle on request. More about key programming and key fob replacement.
Saturn Ion ignition repair and replacement
On turn-key versions of the Saturn Ion, a key that sticks or will not turn usually points to a worn key or worn ignition cylinder. We repair or replace the cylinder where the car sits and match it to your existing key when possible. Push-to-start versions have no cylinder; no-start problems there are usually the fob or its battery. More about ignition repair.

Saturn Ion services in detail
How Saturn Ion keys work
Saturn has used several key systems. Cars from the 1990s and early 2000s often have a resistor or basic anti-theft system; later models use chipped keys, then flip keys, and on recent trims a proximity fob with push-button start. Which one a Saturn Ion has depends on the year.
Many Saturn models go through a relearn of 10 to 30 minutes when a new key is introduced. The car sets that time, not the technician. Tell the dispatcher the year so the right key is on the van.
Saturn is no longer sold new, but keys and fobs for the Saturn Ion are still available and we still make them.
The exact key depends on the year and trim of your Saturn Ion. Tell the dispatcher the year, and whether the car starts with a key or a button, so the technician arrives with the right one.
