Ignition Repair & Key Extraction
A snapped key is recoverable more often than people assume. Please do not use pliers or superglue; improvised attempts can turn a small job into a damaged cylinder.
What is included
Specialist work, completed at the vehicle
- Extraction from ignition, door and trunk locks
- A replacement key cut in the same visit
- Worn, sticking or seized ignition cylinders
- Repair or replacement keyed to your existing key where possible
Ownership verification: have the vehicle registration or ownership and your driver's licence ready. We check both on every key job.
The practical difference
Your driveway, not a dealership waiting room
We work from legitimate manufacturer security data at your vehicle, with the number fixed before dispatch.

Common questions
Questions about ignition repair & key extraction
Does the broken half in my pocket help?+
Yes. Keep it flat; it helps identify the blank and can speed up replacement.
Why is there no fixed price?+
A simple extraction and a damaged cylinder look alike at first. We confirm a firm price before touching it.
Can a new ignition use my old key?+
On many vehicles, yes. We will tell you before ordering parts.
Is a sticking ignition the key or cylinder?+
Frequently the key. We try the least expensive diagnosis first.
