Ignition Repair and Replacement

When replacement is necessary, we use high-quality ignition cylinders and can rekey the new ignition to match your existing door keys.

Key Fob Replacement and Programming

Keys can break in car doors, ignitions, or trunk locks due to wear, force, or cold weather. Attempting to remove a broken key yourself can push the fragment deeper and cause additional damage. Our technicians use specialized extraction tools to safely remove broken key pieces without damaging your locks.

Common Automotive Locksmith Problems We Solve

Lost All Car Keys

Losing all your car keys is one of the most challenging automotive locksmith situations. Without any key to duplicate, we must use specialized equipment to generate new keys from your vehicle's lock codes or computer system. Our technicians can create new keys for most vehicles even when all keys are lost, including transponder keys and key fobs.

Key Won't Turn in Ignition

If your key won't turn in the ignition, it could be due to worn ignition wafers, a damaged key, debris in the cylinder, or a steering wheel lock issue. We diagnose the problem and provide the appropriate repair, whether that's cleaning the ignition, repairing worn wafers, cutting a new key, or replacing the ignition cylinder.

Key Fob Not Working

Key fob problems can often be resolved with a simple battery replacement. However, if the fob still doesn't work after a battery change, it may need reprogramming, the internal circuit board may be damaged, or you may need a replacement fob. We diagnose and fix all key fob issues.

Remote Start Not Working

Remote start systems can malfunction due to programming issues, interference, low battery, or system faults. We troubleshoot remote start problems and can reprogram or repair most systems.

Car Key Stuck in Ignition

Keys can become stuck in the ignition due to worn ignition wafers, a damaged key, or an issue with the shift interlock system. We safely extract stuck keys and repair the underlying problem to prevent future occurrences.

Trunk Won't Open

Trunk lock problems can leave you unable to access your cargo area. We can open stuck trunks, repair or replace trunk locks, and address issues with trunk release mechanisms.

Frequently Asked Questions About Automotive Locksmith Services
