Ignition problems can stop your car in its tracks, whether the key won’t turn, the ignition feels stuck, or the engine refuses to start. Unlock Cars Door provides nationwide ignition repair and replacement services for drivers dealing with worn ignitions, broken keys, faulty switches, steering lock issues, and electronic ignition failures. Our mobile technicians come directly to your location, diagnose the problem on-site, and perform repairs or full ignition replacements without towing your vehicle to a dealership.
Professional Ignition Repair Services
Your ignition is one of the most important components of your vehicle, and when it fails, it can be frustrating and inconvenient. Our technicians are trained to work on a wide range of ignition systems, including older mechanical ignitions and modern electronic push-to-start systems. We use the proper tools and techniques to repair ignitions safely, ensuring you can start your car reliably again.
Common Ignition Problems We Handle
- Key will not turn in the ignition
- Ignition cylinder is stuck or jammed
- Worn ignition wafers
- Broken keys inside ignition
- Ignition turns but vehicle won’t start
- Electronic ignition malfunction
- Push-to-start button not responding
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, our team can help diagnose and fix the issue quickly.
Ignition Cylinder Replacement
Sometimes an ignition cannot be repaired due to severe wear, damaged internal pins, or structural failure. In these cases, our technician will replace the ignition cylinder entirely. We match the new cylinder to your existing key when possible, or we can rekey the new ignition to work with your current locks. This helps you avoid having separate keys for the doors and ignition.
Broken Key Extraction
Keys often break inside the ignition when the lock is already worn or stiff. Our technicians use specialized extraction tools to remove the broken piece safely without damaging the ignition further. Once the broken piece is removed, we can create a new key or repair the ignition if needed. Visit our Lost key made page for replacement options.
Push-to-Start Ignition Problems
Modern vehicles equipped with smart keys and push-button ignition can experience electronic failures. These issues may relate to the fob, antenna ring, immobilizer system, steering lock module, or ignition switch. Our technicians can diagnose these systems and determine whether a key programming solution or component replacement is needed.

When Ignition Repair Is Better Than Replacement
Many ignition problems can be repaired without a full replacement. If the ignition wafers are worn, the key won’t turn smoothly, or the lock feels gritty, a cleaning or rebuild may restore full function. Our technicians always attempt repair first to save you money unless replacement is clearly the better option.
Signs You Should Call an Ignition Specialist
- Your key gets stuck frequently
- You must jiggle the key to start the vehicle
- The ignition turns halfway but not fully
- The steering wheel lock won’t disengage
- The car won’t recognize your push-to-start fob
These issues usually worsen over time, so early diagnosis prevents being stranded.
