When your key won't turn or is stuck in the ignition, the culprit is often a worn ignition cylinder, a damaged key, or debris inside the lock. We diagnose and repair ignition problems on-site — rebuilding or replacing the cylinder, extracting broken keys, and cutting a fresh key so your vehicle starts reliably again.
