Professional Ignition Repair Outcomes for Aston Clients
Key Is Stuck in the Ignition
You can't remove it. Maybe the steering lock is engaged, maybe the cylinder is worn, maybe something broke internally. Either way, you're not walking away from your car. We extract keys without damage.
Key Won't Turn At All
You're sitting in the driver's seat with a key that fits but won't rotate. Worn cylinder, damaged wafers, or a key that's been slowly dying. We diagnose whether it's the key, the cylinder, or both.
Ignition Has Been Getting Worse for Months
First you had to jiggle it. Then wiggle it just right. Now you're using two hands. This is a worn cylinder failing progressively—and it will strand you eventually. Better to fix it proactively.
Car Clicks But Won't Start (Not the Battery)
You turned the key, heard a click, nothing happened—but the battery is fine. Could be the ignition switch failing to send signal to the starter. We diagnose electrical vs. mechanical issues.
Key Broke Off Inside the Ignition
The worst outcome of forcing a worn ignition. Half the key is in your hand, half is stuck inside. We extract the broken piece and determine if the cylinder is salvageable.
University Community
Neumann University students and staff require reliable locksmith services for campus-adjacent housing.
Suburban Family Security
Aston's family neighborhoods prioritize home security and child safety.

Why Our Ignition Repair Standards Lead the Industry
The Kwikey Protocol for Ignition Repair
We Come to You
Your car is stuck wherever it is. We dispatch a mobile technician with diagnostic tools and common ignition parts.
Diagnose the Root Cause
Is it the key, the cylinder, the switch, or the steering column? We identify exactly what's failing before recommending anything.
Transparent Diagnostic Quote Before We Work
You know the transparent diagnostic quote—and whether it's worth it for your vehicle—before we touch anything.
Repair or Replace On-Site
Most ignition repairs and replacements are completed right in your driveway. New cylinder, new keys, everything programmed.
Test and Verify
We test repeatedly: key inserts smoothly, turns easily, starts the car, comes out when it should. Don't leave until it works perfectly.
"We have a caregiver for my mom and needed to give her access without a physical key. Kwikey installed a keypad lock and showed us how to create guest codes. Now grandma is safe and helper has access. Perfect!"
"Forgot the combination to my home safe that had important documents inside. Kwikey's technician opened it using a professional manipulation technique — no drilling required. Reset the combination and showed me how to properly store the backup code. Impressive skill."
"Locked out of my house at 6am before work. Called Kwikey, tech arrived in professionally, and I was back inside before my coffee got cold. No damage to my door. Professional, reliable service."
Expertly Resolved FAQ: Ignition Repair
Are your replacement key fobs OEM or aftermarket? expand_more
We offer both options. OEM fobs are identical to what you'd get from the dealership. Aftermarket fobs are high-quality alternatives that provide a similar experience. Both work identically—we'll explain your options when we provide a transparent diagnostic quote.
Do you work on older vehicles without computer chips? expand_more
Absolutely! We cut keys for all vehicles, from classic cars to modern ones. Older vehicles with simple keys are actually our most efficient jobs. We can often have you a new key professionally for vehicles from the 1990s and earlier.
Why should I use a locksmith instead of the dealership? expand_more
We come to you—no towing needed. We're typically significantly more convenient than dealers. And we're available during operating hours, not just during business hours. Our keys are identical quality to dealer keys, programmed with the same professional equipment.
My key fob isn't working. Is it just the battery? expand_more
Often yes! Key fob batteries typically last a few years. We can test and replace the battery on-site professionally. If the fob itself is damaged or needs reprogramming, we can handle that too without a trip to the dealer.
My key turns hard in the ignition. What's wrong? expand_more
This usually indicates a worn ignition cylinder. If ignored, it can leave you stranded when the key stops turning entirely. We can repair or replace your ignition cylinder on-site. Most repairs take about an hour.
I lost all my car keys. Can you still help? expand_more
Absolutely. We can create a new key from scratch for most vehicles. We'll verify ownership, program a new transponder or smart key, and have you driving again. This is much more convenient than towing to a dealership.

Our certified automotive technicians carry OEM-quality replacement cylinders and advanced diagnostic equipment in our service vehicles, handling ignitions on domestic and import vehicles from all major manufacturers.
When Ignitions Fail
Ignitions wear out over years of daily use. First the key gets a little harder to turn. Then you develop a 'technique' for making it work. Then one day it doesn't. We see this constantly — and we fix it in your driveway with new cylinders and keys. Whether you drive a Honda, Toyota, Ford, Chevy, or European vehicle, worn wafer tumblers and corroded wiring are the usual culprits. Catching the problem early saves you the cost and hassle of an emergency tow.
Signs Your Ignition Needs Professional Attention
If your key sticks, the cylinder feels gritty, or your steering wheel locks up unexpectedly, your ignition likely needs repair. Dashboard warning lights, intermittent starting failures, and keys that only work after repeated jiggling are additional red flags. Ignoring these signs risks leaving you stranded in a parking lot or at work. A mobile locksmith can diagnose and repair most ignition issues at your location — no tow to a mechanic needed, and we reprogram your transponder chip on-site when the cylinder is replaced.
