IGNITION REPAIR

Find the fault before choosing the repair.

Difficulty inserting, turning or removing a key can point to a problem with the key or ignition mechanism. Tell us what you can feel and what happens when you try to use the vehicle.

We assess whether ignition repair, replacement or related key work is appropriate. A car that will not start is not always suffering from an ignition-lock fault, so describe any other symptoms when you call.

How we can help

  • Assessment of sticking or damaged ignition locks
  • Ignition repair where appropriate
  • Replacement when repair is unsuitable
  • Related broken-key extraction and key work

Avoid repeatedly forcing a stiff key. Tell the team if the key or ignition has already been damaged.

YOUR QUESTIONS

Good to know
before you book.

What if the broken lock is in a door rather than the ignition?

Tell us which lock is affected and whether the problem is with the physical key, the lock mechanism or remote locking. Door-lock repair, vehicle access and electrical diagnosis are different enquiries. We will confirm support for that lock and vehicle before agreeing an assessment; do not dismantle it or force the key.

Can you always repair rather than replace the ignition?

The right option depends on the fault and the condition of the mechanism. We’ll explain the assessment and available options before work begins.

My car won’t start. Is the ignition definitely faulty?

Not necessarily. Starting problems have several possible causes. Explain whether the key turns, whether it is recognised and what the vehicle does.

Can you help if a key has snapped in the ignition?

Yes, broken-key extraction and related ignition work are services we offer. Tell us whether any part of the key is still in the lock.

Let’s get you back to your day.

Tell us your postcode, vehicle details and what’s happened. We’ll explain the next step.
