Common Questions
Will I Need a New Key After Ignition Repair?
Not always. If the issue is with the ignition switch or electrical system, your existing key will likely still work after repairs. However, if the key itself is damaged or if the repair involves reconfiguring the ignition cylinder, a new key might be necessary, which we can provide on the spot.
Can I Still Drive My Vehicle Before the Repair?
We advise against driving your vehicle if the ignition is malfunctioning, as this could lead to further damage or leave you stranded. If the vehicle is currently operational but the key is sticking or occasionally unresponsive, minimize driving until our technician can assess and repair the issue to prevent a breakdown.
How Do I Know if the Problem is with the Key or the Ignition?
Oftentimes, the distinction isn't clear without a professional assessment. Our technicians will evaluate both the key and the ignition system to determine the root cause. Signs that it might be the key include visible damage, extreme wear, or if the key works in other locks (like the trunk). Ignition issues might be suspected if multiple keys fail to turn or there are electrical symptoms.
