Ignition Repair

Precision Ignition Repair for Vehicles

A faulty ignition system often prevents the key from turning or the engine from starting. Scottsdale Lock & Key provides specialized Ignition Repair to address worn wafers, stuck tumblers, and damaged springs. Our technicians disassemble the cylinder housing to replace defective components, restoring smooth mechanical operation and ensuring your vehicle starts reliably.

Why Trust Our Ignition Specialists

Ignition assemblies are complex mechanisms that require specific technical knowledge to service without affecting the steering column or electrical sensors. We prioritize accurate diagnostics and component-level restoration. Select our team for the following technical advantages:

Accurate Diagnostics: We test the cylinder and switch assembly to distinguish between mechanical wear and electrical faults, ensuring the Ignition Repair targets the exact cause of the failure.
Steering Column Safety: Our technicians work carefully around the steering column and airbag assembly, utilizing professional tools to access the ignition housing without damaging surrounding trim or safety sensors.
Certified Automotive Knowledge: We possess the training to repair ignitions on a wide range of domestic and foreign vehicles, understanding the specific retention protocols for different manufacturers.
Component Restoration: When possible, we replace individual worn wafers or springs rather than the entire unit, providing a solution that allows you to keep your existing keys.
Functional Verification: After reassembling the unit, we test the key cycle multiple times to guarantee the ignition turns freely and engages the starter motor consistently without binding.

FAQ'S

Expert Ignition Repair Solutions

A key that refuses to turn or a vehicle that fails to crank often indicates internal cylinder wear. Scottsdale Lock & Key delivers precise Ignition Repair to address these mechanical faults. Our technicians disassemble the housing to replace damaged wafers or switches, restoring smooth operation and reliable starting performance.

1. How do I know if my ignition needs repair?

Common indicators include the key sticking, difficulty turning the cylinder, or the engine failing to start even when the battery is charged. If you experience these issues, professional Ignition Repair is necessary to prevent a total lockout.

2. Can you repair the ignition without replacing the whole unit?

Yes. In many cases, the issue lies with worn internal wafers or springs. We can disassemble the cylinder and replace only the worn components, which is often more cost-effective than a complete replacement.

3. Will I need a new key after the repair?

Not necessarily. If we perform a component-level repair on the existing cylinder, your current key will usually continue to work. If the wear is severe and we must change the cylinder code, we will generate a new matching key.

4. Do you handle ignition switches as well as cylinders?

Yes. The ignition switch (electrical) and the lock cylinder (mechanical) work together. We diagnose both components to determine if the failure is due to a mechanical blockage or an electrical contact issue, and perform the appropriate repair.

5. Can you fix an ignition damaged by a theft attempt?

Yes. We assess the damage caused by forced entry. If the housing remains structurally sound, we can repair the internal tumblers. If the damage is extensive, we will recommend a replacement to ensure vehicle safety.

6. Do I need to tow my car to a dealership?

No. Our service is fully mobile. We bring the necessary tools to your location to remove the steering column covers and access the ignition assembly, performing the Ignition Repair on-site.

I lost my car keys and needed a replacement on-site. They arrived fully prepared and programmed a new fob right in my driveway. The technician was polite and professional, and the new key works exactly like the original factory one did.

Locked myself out of the house on a weekend. The locksmith arrived and opened the door without damaging the lock or the frame. It was a relief to have such professional help available when I needed it.

We upgraded our security locks recently. The advice we received was practical and honest. The installation was neat, and the locksmith cleaned up afterwards. It is hard to find such reliable workmanship these days.

Great experience upgrading our store’s back door security. They installed a heavy-duty deadbolt that feels incredibly solid. The quote was transparent, and the final result is top-tier. I will definitely use them again.
