Repair or Replace?
Many drivers assume a stuck ignition means expensive replacement, but often a rebuild restores smooth operation. We carry OEM-quality cylinders and electrical switches for most brands, including Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Ford, Chevrolet, GMC, Dodge, Jeep, Chrysler, Hyundai, Kia, Volkswagen, and Audi.
When replacement is necessary, we match the new assembly to your current key code, so you can continue using your existing door and trunk keys.
Preventive Maintenance Tips
-
Avoid heavy keychains that strain the cylinder
-
Clean keys periodically to remove metal filings
-
If the key sticks occasionally, schedule service early
-
Use graphite lubricant instead of oil-based sprays
If the key is already worn or cracked, order a duplicate through Spare & Duplicate Car Key to prevent emergency failure.
