THE SERVICE YOU NEED
Describe the symptom before booking
A key has broken in the ignition
Let us know where the key broke and whether part of it remains in the lock. Explain any previous attempt to remove it. We can discuss broken-key extraction and any additional work that may be needed.
The ignition lock is damaged
Describe visible damage, difficulty inserting or removing the key, or a problem after an attempted theft. The technician inspects the condition before discussing repair or replacement.
KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT
Inspection before a repair decision
A key problem, a damaged ignition lock and a vehicle that will not start are different requests. Tell us exactly what you observe instead of assuming a new ignition is needed.
If the key turns but the vehicle will not start, describe that when you call. We will discuss whether the symptoms fit a locksmith service; some faults require an automotive repair specialist. We do not diagnose every no-start problem from the ignition alone.
The technician assesses the supported vehicle and explains the work available. If repair, replacement or additional key work is needed, you receive the final price for approval before that work starts.
PRICING & ESTIMATES
What affects the estimate?
An ignition estimate depends on the fault and the work needed. A preliminary description helps us discuss the request, but the technician confirms the scope after inspection.
| Factor | Why it matters | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Vehicle and ignition system | The available work varies by vehicle and ignition design. | Provide make, model and year. |
| Key and lock condition | A worn or broken key and a damaged lock may require different work. | Describe exactly what happens when you use the key. |
| Extraction, repair or replacement | The appropriate work is determined after assessment. | Ask the technician to explain the proposed method. |
| Parts and related key work | Replacement components or key work may affect the total. | Ask which parts, cutting and programming are included, if needed. |
| Visit and complete scope | The final payable amount should be clear before approval. | Confirm travel, labor, parts and any applicable charges. |
A phone or text estimate is preliminary and based on the details you provide. Your technician confirms the final price after inspecting the vehicle and before work begins. Any change to the proposed work requires your approval.

YOUR QUESTIONS
Ignitions questions, answered
Can you tell me what is wrong before visiting?
We can discuss the symptoms and check support for your vehicle, but a technician may need to inspect the key and ignition before determining the fault and the work required.
Can you remove a broken key from an ignition?
We handle broken-key extraction requests for supported vehicles. Describe where the key broke and any previous extraction attempt. The technician assesses the lock and explains the available method before starting.
Does an ignition problem always require replacement?
The technician first assesses the key and ignition lock. The appropriate work depends on that assessment; replacement is not assumed from the initial symptom alone.
My key turns but the engine will not start. Is that an ignition lock problem?
Not every no-start condition is a locksmith issue. Describe the symptoms when you call so we can discuss whether our service is appropriate. Some faults require an automotive repair specialist.
Will I need another key after the work?
That depends on the repair or replacement performed and the vehicle. Ask the technician whether the proposed work includes any key cutting or programming before you approve the price.
