IGNITION & LOCK REPAIR
Ignition problems, fixed at your vehicle
Luxury Automotive Locksmith LTD repairs and replaces damaged car ignitions and door locks in Vancouver and Metro Vancouver, 24 hours a day, and extracts keys that have snapped in the ignition or a lock. The work happens at your vehicle, so most cars do not need a tow.
An ignition cylinder wears with use. A worn key, a damaged wafer or a seized cylinder can leave the key sticking, refusing to turn, or broken off inside.
What we repair
- Broken keys in the ignition or a door lock
- Worn or damaged ignition cylinders
- Seized or sticking ignitions
- Jammed or stiff door locks
- Re-keying an ignition so it works with a new key
DIAGNOSE FIRST
How we find and fix the fault
1. We listen to the symptoms. Does the key stick, refuse to turn, or turn without starting the car? The answer points to the key, the cylinder or the steering lock.
2. We inspect the cylinder. We check the key, the wafers and the cylinder at your vehicle before anything is replaced.
3. We repair or replace, then test. We extract broken pieces, repair or replace the cylinder, cut a fresh key if needed, and test the ignition and locks before we leave.

SIGNS OF TROUBLE
Signs your ignition or lock needs attention
Stop forcing the key. Forcing it can snap the key inside the cylinder and turn a small repair into a bigger one.
Need a new key as well? See car key replacement and programming.
- The key sticks or needs force to turn
- The key will not turn and the steering wheel feels locked
- A piece of the key has broken off inside
- The key turns but the car does not start as it should

PRICE AND PREPARATION
What affects the price, and what to have ready
Price depends on the make, model and year, the damage, and whether the cylinder can be repaired or needs replacing, plus the time of day. We quote on the phone once we know the symptoms.
Have ready: the make, model and year, what the key is doing, whether any piece has broken off, and photo ID with proof of ownership. We serve Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, North Vancouver and the rest of Metro Vancouver. See all our service areas.
