Understanding Why Your Ignition Will Not Turn
A key that will not rotate in the ignition is a common and frustrating problem. The most frequent culprits include a worn-out ignition key, a worn internal mechanism within the ignition cylinder itself, or a steering wheel that is locked under pressure. Our technicians systematically check these possibilities, starting with the simplest and most cost-effective solutions.
Often, a key that has become significantly worn down can fail to engage the tumblers inside the ignition cylinder properly. In these cases, cutting a new key to the manufacturer's original specifications can surprisingly resolve the issue without needing extensive ignition repairs.
Precise Ignition Cylinder Rebuild or Replacement
If the problem is not a worn key, the issue likely lies within the ignition cylinder. We are equipped to diagnose whether the cylinder can be rebuilt or if a full replacement is necessary due to significant internal wear or damage. Our goal is to restore smooth and reliable operation to your ignition.
When a new ignition cylinder is installed, where the vehicle's platform allows, we can key it to your existing door key. This means you will not need to carry separate keys for your doors and ignition, maintaining convenience and consistency. This service is performed on-site, saving you from towing your vehicle.
