Ignition repair and broken key removal
A key that will not turn, will not come out, or has snapped off in the ignition or the door. We come to the vehicle, so it does not have to be towed first.
What we handle
- Keys broken off in the ignition or door lock
- Keys stuck in the ignition
- Ignitions that will not turn with the correct key
- Worn keys that have started to damage the ignition
How it works
- Call with the make, model and year, and describe exactly what the key is doing.
- Do not force it or try to dig the piece out — that usually pushes it deeper.
- We quote the likely repair before coming out and confirm it once we have looked.
- We remove the broken piece or repair the ignition, and cut a new key if the old one caused the problem.
Common questions
- My key will not turn. Is the ignition broken?
- Not always. Turn the steering wheel gently left and right while turning the key — a locked steering column is a common cause. If that does not free it, call us.
- Can you make a new key from a broken one?
- Usually yes, if you have both pieces. Keep them and show us — we can cut a fresh key from the cuts on the broken one.
- Do you repair every ignition?
- Most, but not all. Some vehicles need the ignition replaced or need dealer programming afterwards. We tell you which applies to yours before starting.
