A key that won't turn or a car that won't start is rarely a sign you need a whole new car. In most cases it's the ignition switch, lock cylinder, or steering lock, and we diagnose and repair it right where your car is, the same day in almost every case, without a tow truck or dealership price tag.
Ignition switch problems show up a few different ways: the key won't turn at all, it turns but the car won't start, the dash stays dark, or the steering wheel locks up and won't release. The cause is usually mechanical wear inside the lock cylinder, a worn or damaged key, a steering lock that has engaged, or, on some newer vehicles, an electronic ignition module that has failed. A dealership will often replace the entire ignition assembly and may need to tow the vehicle in first. We diagnose the actual cause on-site and repair or rebuild the ignition switch and lock cylinder directly, which usually means a faster fix at a lower cost.
