Ignition repair done at your vehicle

Safe & Secure Locksmith repairs and replaces ignition cylinders on-site for every major brand. Most ignition jobs finish in under 60 minutes at your vehicle, no tow required. Worn wafer replacement, broken-key extraction, full cylinder swap, and new key cut to match all done in one visit. 20-30 minute arrival, 24/7 across Greater Vancouver.

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.

► Good to know

Ignition Repair key questions, answered.

How much does ignition repair cost in Vancouver?+
Ignition cylinder repair starts at $180-$240 for transponder vehicles and $300-$420 for smart-key push-to-start systems. Cost includes diagnosis, cylinder replacement or wafer rebuild, and a new key cut to match. All-keys-lost ignition jobs run $280-$520.
Can you fix the ignition without towing my car?+
Yes. Every ignition repair is performed at your vehicle. We carry replacement cylinders, wafer kits, OBD diagnostic tools, and key-cutting equipment in the mobile unit. Most jobs finish in 60-90 minutes on-site, no dealership trip needed.
My key turns but the car won't start - is it the ignition?+
Often it is the electronic ignition switch, the immobilizer, or a transponder fault, not the mechanical cylinder. We diagnose with OBD on-site to identify the exact cause before replacing parts. Push-to-start vehicles often have WIN module faults that mimic an ignition issue.
How fast can you reach me for an ignition repair?+
Most Greater Vancouver ignition calls see 20-30 minute arrival from our 4105 Macdonald St shop. Late-night and weekend calls are dispatched 24/7 with no after-hours surcharge inside our standard service area.
Do you cut a new key for the ignition?+
Yes. Every ignition repair includes a new key cut to match the repaired or replaced cylinder. For transponder and smart-key vehicles, we program the new key to your immobilizer on-site so it starts the engine.
What if my key snapped off inside the ignition?+
We extract the broken key piece without damaging the cylinder, then inspect for wafer or spring damage. If the cylinder is intact, we cut a new key. If wafers are bent, we rebuild or replace the cylinder before cutting a fresh key.
