Ignition problems prevent your car from starting and can leave you stranded. Near Me Locksmith provides professional ignition replacement and repair services throughout Denton, TX. Our mobile automotive locksmiths come to your location to diagnose and fix ignition issues quickly.
Whether your ignition won’t turn, your key gets stuck, or the cylinder is completely worn out, we have the expertise to get you back on the road.
Common Ignition Problems
Ignitions that won’t turn are the most common issue. This happens when internal components wear out, the steering wheel lock engages, or debris gets inside the cylinder. Keys that get stuck in the ignition indicate worn tumblers or a failing lock cylinder.
Ignitions that turn but won’t start the car often have electrical issues or transponder programming problems. We diagnose the specific problem and determine whether repair or replacement is needed.
Ignition Repair vs. Replacement
When possible, we repair ignitions rather than replace them. Minor issues like stuck tumblers, debris in the cylinder, or loose connections can often be repaired. This costs less and takes less time than complete replacement.
However, severely worn ignition cylinders, damaged internal components from forced key attempts, and cylinders with broken parts require replacement. We assess your specific situation and recommend the most cost-effective solution.
Our Ignition Replacement Process
Ignition replacement involves removing the old cylinder, installing a new one, and programming it to work with your vehicle. For vehicles with transponder systems, we ensure the new ignition communicates properly with your car’s immobilizer.
We can rekey the new ignition to work with your existing car keys, so you don’t need new keys for your doors and trunk. This maintains convenience while solving your ignition problem.
The entire process typically takes 60-90 minutes at your location.
Preventing Ignition Problems
Regular maintenance helps prevent ignition issues. Don’t force your key if it doesn’t turn smoothly—this causes premature wear. Remove heavy keychains that put stress on the ignition cylinder when driving. Replace worn keys before they damage the ignition.
If you notice your key becoming harder to turn, address it early before the ignition fails completely.
Mobile Service Advantage
Ignition problems often leave you unable to drive your vehicle. Our mobile service eliminates the need for towing. We come to your location whether you’re at home, at work, or stranded in a parking lot.
We bring all necessary tools and parts to complete the repair or replacement on-site, getting you back on the road without the expense of towing to a dealer or shop.
