When the problem is inside the ignition, not the key
If any of these describe what you're dealing with right now, this is the service you need. Call with your situation and location - we'll confirm we can help before sending anyone out.
Your key won't turn in the ignition
You put the key in but it won't rotate. The internal parts of the cylinder are worn or jammed. We open it up, find what's stuck, and either rebuild it or replace the whole unit.
Your key is stuck and won't come out
The key went in fine but now it's trapped. This usually means something broke inside the cylinder. We extract the key without damaging your steering column and fix the underlying problem.
The ignition feels gritty or loose
If turning your key feels rough, crunchy, or wobbly, the cylinder is wearing out. Fixing it now prevents a complete failure that leaves you stranded without warning.
Your key broke off inside the ignition
A worn cylinder puts extra stress on the key until it snaps. We extract the broken piece, repair the cylinder so it turns smoothly, and can cut you a new key on the spot.
Describe your situation - we'll confirm the right service and come prepared.

(302) 551-2550How we diagnose and repair your ignition
- 1
Describe what's happening

We diagnose the ignition on-site
We examine the ignition at your car and tell you exactly what's wrong - worn cylinder, broken wafer, or failed switch. You know the issue before we start any repair.
- 3
Rebuild or replace the cylinder
If the cylinder can be saved, we replace the worn internal parts. If it's too far gone, we install a new one. Either way, we match it to your existing key when possible.

Test until it's perfect
We test key insertion, turning, starting, and removal multiple times. The ignition has to feel smooth and work reliably before we consider it done.
Tested before handoff Why fix your ignition now instead of waiting
Fixed where your car sits
A car with a broken ignition can't be driven to a shop. We come to you and do the repair on-site, saving you the cost and hassle of a tow truck.
Keep using your same key
When we replace a cylinder, we match it to your existing key whenever possible. You don't end up carrying two different keys for one car.
Prevent a roadside breakdown
A gritty or stiff ignition is a warning sign. Fixing it now means you won't get stranded in a parking lot when it finally seizes up completely.
Done in one visit
Most ignition repairs take 45–90 minutes. You don't drop off your car for days - we fix it and you drive away the same day.

Common questions

Ignition Repair FAQ
These are the questions people ask most before booking this service. If yours isn't here, call us - we'll answer it directly.
How do I know if it's the ignition or the key that's the problem?
If you have a spare key and it also won't turn, the ignition cylinder is the problem. If only one key has trouble, the key itself may be worn. We can diagnose it either way.
Do I need to tow my car to get the ignition fixed?
No. We come to wherever your car is parked and do the repair on-site. That's the main advantage over a dealer or mechanic shop.
Will I need a new key after the ignition is repaired?
Usually not. If we rebuild the cylinder, your existing key still works. If we replace the whole cylinder, we can often match the new one to your current key.
How long does an ignition repair take?
Most repairs take 45–90 minutes depending on whether we're rebuilding the existing cylinder or installing a replacement.
How much does ignition repair cost?
It depends on whether the cylinder needs a rebuild or full replacement, and your car's make and model. We diagnose the issue on-site and explain what's involved before starting.
Key stuck or won't turn?
Tell us your car's year, make, and model, and describe what's happening - key won't turn, stuck in place, feels gritty. We'll confirm we can handle your vehicle and come to you.
