Ignition Repair & Replacement in Sacramento

Licensed, insured and bonded. California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services License No. LCO 6830. Open 24 hours, 7 days a week. Proof of ownership is required before any lock is opened.

An ignition that has become stiff rarely fails suddenly. It usually gets worse over weeks, and the key is often the cause rather than the victim.

What the job involves

• Diagnosing whether the fault is the key, the cylinder or the lock housing
• Repairing or replacing the ignition cylinder
• Keying the new cylinder to your existing key where possible, so you do not end up carrying two
• Extracting a key jammed in the ignition

What to have ready when you call

• Year, make and model
• Whether the key sticks, will not turn, or turns without starting
• Whether the steering lock is engaged
• Proof of ownership

Honest limits

A worn key in a good cylinder feels much like a worn cylinder. Cutting a fresh key to code is the cheap test, and it is done first.
