Frequently Asked Questions
How long does ignition switch repair take? Most jobs are completed within 30 to 120 minutes depending on the complexity of the vehicle and the extent of the damage. We aim for same-day service so you aren’t left without a car.
Can I repair my ignition switch myself? Modern ignitions are complex and often integrated with the vehicle’s anti-theft system. Attempting a DIY repair without the proper tools can trigger security lockouts or airbag faults. It is safer and more cost-effective to hire a professional.
What causes ignition switch failures? Common causes include heavy keychains (which pull on the internal mechanism), worn-out keys, age-related wear and tear, or attempted theft damage.
