Frequently Asked Questions
What causes ignition problems?
Common causes include worn ignition cylinders from years of use, damaged wafers or tumblers inside the lock, bent or worn keys, steering wheel lock issues, or electrical problems with the ignition switch. We can diagnose the specific cause and recommend the appropriate repair.
Can you repair the ignition without replacing it?
In many cases, yes. Minor issues like stuck mechanisms or debris can often be repaired without full replacement. However, severely worn cylinders usually require replacement for reliable long-term operation. We'll always recommend the most cost-effective solution.
If you replace the ignition, will my old keys still work?
We can rekey the new ignition cylinder to match your existing keys, so you don't need different keys for the doors and ignition. Alternatively, we can cut new keys and reprogram them if you prefer a completely fresh system.
How long does ignition repair or replacement take?
Simple repairs can take 30-60 minutes, while a complete ignition cylinder replacement typically takes 1-2 hours depending on the vehicle. We work efficiently to minimize your downtime while ensuring quality work.
