Key turns but nothing happens — or will not turn at all.

Ignition repair and replacement

A worn ignition lock is a different failure from a dead battery or a key problem, and it is repairable far more often than people expect.

The usual symptoms

The key goes in but will not rotate. It rotates but the car does nothing. It sticks between positions, or it only works if you lift the wheel or wiggle the key. Most of these are wafer wear inside the lock cylinder, not an electrical fault.

Repair before replacement

A worn cylinder can often be rebuilt and rekeyed to your existing key, which means you are not carrying a second key for the door and the ignition. Where the cylinder is genuinely finished, we replace it and key the new one to match.

Steering lock and shifter interlock

A wheel that binds against the lock, or a shifter that will not leave park, can look exactly like an ignition problem. We check which one it is before touching the ignition.

Questions

Can you rekey a new ignition to my current key?

In most cases yes, so you keep one key for everything.

Do you have to remove the steering column?

Sometimes. It depends on the vehicle, and we tell you before we start.

My key snapped in the ignition. Can you help?

Yes — extraction plus a replacement key, usually the same visit.
