What's included

Key stuck in the ACC position?

If the key won’t turn or won’t come out, don’t force it: forcing can snap the key and make the repair bigger. Call us with the make, model and year. We’ll come to your car, check the ignition and give you a free quote before we start.

• Know the signs

Signs your ignition needs a locksmith

Most ignition problems start small and get worse with daily use. Call a locksmith if:

The key won’t turn, or turns only after jiggling

The key is stuck in the ACC position and won’t come out

The key has snapped in the ignition: leave the piece where it is

The ignition feels loose or turns without the key

Your keys were stolen and you want the old ones to stop working

• Three options

Ignition repair, rekey or replacement?

We check it at your car and tell you which option makes sense.

Repair

A worn or sticky ignition can often be repaired.

Rekey

If your keys were lost or stolen, we can rekey the ignition so the old keys stop working.

Replace

If the ignition is badly damaged, we replace it.

Broken piece stuck inside? See broken key extraction. Need a new key? See car key replacement.

• Before we arrive

Ignition trouble? Don't make it worse

Don’t spray oil or lubricant into the ignition, and don’t try to pull a stuck key out with pliers. If the key has already broken, tell us when you call.
