(314) 728-5700Common Ignition Symptoms We Fix
Six warning signs that mean your ignition is failing. If any of these sound familiar, call us before you get stranded.
Key Will Not Turn
Often a worn cylinder, debris in the keyway, or the steering wheel lock engaged. We diagnose the real cause before recommending a fix.
Key Gets Stuck
You can insert the key but cannot remove it. Usually a shift interlock or worn pins. Forcing it makes it worse, fast.
Car Will Not Start
Key turns but nothing happens. Often the ignition switch (the electrical part behind the cylinder) or anti-theft system, not the cylinder itself.
Ignition Feels Loose
Cylinder housing wobbles when you turn the key. Internal wear, only gets worse, and ends with a no-start. Replace before it strands you.
Key Broke Inside
Snapped from forcing a stuck cylinder. We extract the broken piece without drilling the lock, then cut a new key on-site.
Steering Wheel Locked
Key will not turn because the steering lock is jammed against pressure. Often misdiagnosed as a bad ignition. We fix the real issue.
Vehicles We Service
Domestic, import, truck, SUV. If it has an ignition, our mobile team can repair it on the spot.
Don't see your make?
We also repair ignitions on RAM trucks, Subaru, Mazda, Acura, Lexus, Infiniti, GMC, Buick, Lincoln, Cadillac, and most fleet vehicles. Call with your year, make, and model.

How Ignition Repair Works
From the first call to a working start. Mobile, on-site, no tow.
Mobile Diagnosis
15-20 minCall (314) 728-5700 with your year, make, and model. We arrive with diagnostic tools and test what is actually broken. Worn key, bad cylinder, switch failure, and anti-theft lockout all look identical from the driver seat.
Cylinder Access
30-60 minRemove steering column covers and disconnect electrical connectors. Drill anti-theft shear bolts where present. European cars require dash panel removal; we plan accordingly.
Install + Program
20-45 minInstall the replacement cylinder, cut a key matched to your VIN, and program the transponder so anti-theft recognizes it. Includes key fob programming on push-button start systems if needed.
Start + Test
Start the vehicle. Verify smooth key turn, accessory positions, and no security light. If we extracted a snapped key, we can cut a spare on-site via key duplication.
Every Repair Includes:
- Mobile diagnosis with professional tools
- Cylinder repair or full replacement
- VIN-matched key cut and tested
- Transponder programming for anti-theft
- No tow truck, repair at your location
- 90-day workmanship warranty
