Stuck Key Repair Delaware County

When Your Key Won't Move

A stuck key usually means worn tumblers inside your ignition cylinder. Maybe debris got inside, or someone used the wrong key and damaged something. Either way, forcing it will just break expensive parts.

We safely extract stuck keys without destroying your ignition. Most of the time, we can clean and repair your existing cylinder with proper parts. Sometimes you need a replacement, but we’ll tell you honestly which makes sense.

The difference is having the right tools and four generations of experience. We’ve unstuck more keys than anyone in Delaware County.

Complete Ignition System Replacement

Sometimes your ignition is beyond saving. Electrical problems, severe wear, or internal damage means you need everything replaced. That’s major work, but we handle complete ignition system installations regularly.

You get a brand new factory ignition that works perfectly with your existing keys. We can even rekey the new system to match your door locks—no need for two different keys. Everything gets programmed correctly and tested thoroughly.

This isn’t shade-tree mechanic work. It requires real expertise, proper tools, and quality parts. Good thing we’ve been doing this longer than most shops have existed.

Ignition Repair & Replacement FAQs

Common questions about our Ignition Repair & Replacement services

How much does ignition repair cost versus the dealer?

Our ignition repairs typically cost 40-60% less than dealerships. While dealers often charge $500-900 for ignition work, we provide identical quality using the same factory OEM parts for significantly less. Most customers save $250-450 by choosing us. The exact cost depends on your vehicle, but we always give you upfront pricing before touching anything. No surprise charges, no pressure for unnecessary work. You get the same parts and quality for half the price because we don’t have dealer overhead.

Can you extract a broken key from my ignition?

Yes, broken key extraction is something we do almost daily. We have specialized tools designed specifically for safely removing broken keys without damaging your ignition cylinder. In most cases, we can extract the piece and cut you a new key the same day. If the break caused internal damage, we’ll assess whether repair or replacement makes more financial sense. Either way, we handle everything on-site—no expensive towing required.

Do you come to my location for ignition problems?

Absolutely. Mobile ignition repair is one of our biggest advantages over dealers. Whether you’re stuck at home, work, the grocery store, or anywhere else, we drive to you with all necessary tools and parts. This saves you the hassle and cost of arranging a tow truck, which easily adds $100-200 to your bill. We fix your ignition right where your car sits, so you can drive away when we’re done.

How long does ignition repair take?

Most ignition repairs take 45-90 minutes on-site. Simple problems like stuck keys or worn cylinders are usually fixed within an hour. Complete ignition replacement takes 1-3 hours depending on your vehicle’s complexity. We stock common parts for most makes and models, so delays are rare. If we need to special-order something, we’ll tell you upfront and can usually get it next day.

Will my current keys still work after repair?

For repairs, your existing keys will work normally once we fix the problem. For complete ignition replacement, we can rekey the new ignition to work with your current keys—you won’t need multiple sets. If your keys are badly worn, we might suggest new ones for better performance, but that’s always your choice. We explain all options clearly before starting any work so you can make the best decision for your situation.

What vehicles do you service for ignition problems?

We work on all makes and models—domestic, foreign, luxury, commercial vehicles, motorcycles, and everything in between. From 1980s mechanical ignitions to 2024 electronic systems with transponder keys and push-button start, our technicians have the experience and equipment to handle any ignition problem. Four generations in business means we’ve literally worked on every type of ignition system ever made. If it has an ignition, we can fix it.
