Ignition problems we fix on-site
Mechanical or electronic, every issue diagnosed at your vehicle.
Key Won't Turn
Worn wafers inside the ignition cylinder stop recognizing the key. We replace the wafers or the full cylinder and cut a new key matched to the repair. Most jobs finish in 60-90 minutes on-site.
Key Stuck or Snapped Off
A broken spring or misaligned wafer traps the key. We extract it without damaging the cylinder, then repair the internal mechanism so it does not happen again. Same visit, no tow.
Ignition Won't Start the Car
Cylinder turns but engine does not crank. Could be the electronic ignition switch, the immobilizer, or a steering-column lock fault. We diagnose all three on-site with OBD diagnostic equipment.
Push-to-Start Failure
Push-button start systems on Honda, Toyota, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Ford, GMC, Dodge, and others diagnosed at your location. WIN module, fob battery, and ignition relay all checked before any parts are replaced.
How on-site ignition repair works
Step 1: Call 604-734-7233 with your make, model, year, and a description of the symptom. We arrive prepared with replacement cylinders, wafer kits, and OBD diagnostic tools. Step 2: A licensed automotive technician arrives at your vehicle, typically in 20-30 minutes from dispatch. We diagnose the exact cause - worn wafers, broken spring, electrical fault, or immobilizer issue. Step 3: We repair the cylinder, replace worn wafers, or swap the full ignition assembly depending on diagnosis. Step 4: A new key is cut to match the repaired ignition if needed, then we test the full system - ignition, steering lock, and immobilizer - before leaving.
