Vehicle Lock & Ignition Services

Your key goes into the ignition, but it won’t turn — or it turns partway and stalls, or spins loose without catching anything. That kind of trouble is usually a cylinder problem, and we can take a look on-site and replace or rekey it as needed, matched to your vehicle. We also repair and replace door locks and trunk locks that are sticking, hard to turn, or failing the same way, with no tow to a shop needed.
