So what’s wrong?

You probably need an ignition lock repair if you can’t extract, insert, or turn your ignition key. That’s most likely because of a damaged or worn ignition lock cylinder (or key) or perhaps a bit of dirt or debris. But just to be sure, double check that the ignition switch is in the right position (“lock” or “off” for removal) and your vehicle is in park. And for many GM models, make sure the battery isn’t dead. A broken ignition lock can also blocking electric signals for accessories and the starter motor.

Our Ignition Switch Locksmith Services

If you have any ignition switch problems don’t forcefully try to turn the ignition lock or try to force a key in or out. That may well turn an cheaper ignition lock repair into a more expensive replacement.

Our technicians will start step by step, starting with any key extraction. With the special tools, extracting even a broken-off key is not a problem. They can then repair or replace ignition lock cylinder rather than the whole mechanism. That’s pretty much the same as changing home door lock cylinders, but also involves removing covers on the steering column. That typically requires using special tamper-proof bits and extra care not to broke various plastic latches. Altogether it takes around 25 minutes for most models.

If the cylinder has to be replaced, our technicians can set it to match your old keys so you won’t be stuck with separate keys for the ignition and doors.
