Ignition problems we fix on-site
Ignition failures come in many forms. Some are mechanical (worn pins, loose cylinder), some are electronic (locked steering column, failed immobilizer module), and some are about the key itself. We diagnose the exact cause on-site before quoting repair.
Ignition Repair FAQs
My key won't turn in the ignition — what's wrong?+
Usually one of three things: a worn ignition cylinder, a locked steering wheel (fix: jiggle wheel left/right while turning key), or a worn key. If the wheel-jiggle trick doesn't work, the cylinder likely needs service. We diagnose on-site.
Do you replace ignition cylinders on-site?+
Yes. We replace ignition cylinders on most vehicles at your location in 45–90 minutes. GM VATS, Ford PATS, Chrysler sentinel, and European CAS/EIS/ESL systems all supported.
How much does ignition repair cost in Southlake?+
Standard ignition cylinder replacement runs $285–$525 on-site including parts, cut and programming. Luxury vehicles with module-integrated ignitions (Mercedes EIS, BMW CAS, Range Rover KVM) range $450–$1,200 depending on platform.
My steering wheel locked up and the key won't turn — help?+
This is a common failure on Mercedes W204/W212 (Electronic Steering Lock / ESL). Don't force the key — it can snap. Call us. We diagnose whether it's a mechanical steering lock or a failed ESL module, and repair on-site.
Can you extract a broken key from the ignition?+
Yes — broken-key extraction is a standard emergency service. We remove the broken piece without damaging the cylinder, then test whether a new key resolves the issue or a cylinder replacement is needed.
