Ignition Repair
In St. Louis

When your key will not turn in the ignition, gets stuck, or the ignition cylinder will not rotate to the start position, it can leave you completely stranded. Ignition problems can be caused by a worn-out cylinder, a damaged key, internal wafer failure, or a faulty ignition switch. Nonstop Lock & Key provides professional ignition repair service throughout the St. Louis area, diagnosing and resolving ignition issues at your location without an expensive tow to the dealership.

Our automotive locksmiths start every ignition repair with a thorough diagnosis. We check the key for wear or damage, inspect the ignition cylinder for internal problems, and test the electrical switch to isolate the root cause. In some cases, the fix is as simple as cleaning the cylinder and lubricating the wafers. If the cylinder is worn beyond reliable use, we can replace it on-site and cut new keys to match.

Ignition cylinder replacement involves removing the old cylinder, installing a new one matched to your vehicle, and cutting keys that operate both the new ignition and your existing door locks. If you prefer to keep your current key, we may be able to rekey the new cylinder to your original key code. Our locksmiths carry ignition cylinders and the necessary tools for most domestic and import vehicles.

Attempting to force a stuck ignition can cause further damage to the cylinder, break your key inside it, or damage the electrical ignition switch behind the cylinder. If your key is not turning smoothly, call (314) 532-1112 before the problem gets worse. We provide same-day ignition repair service with upfront pricing and no towing charges.
