Ignition Repair and Replacement in Ottawa

Ignition cylinders wear out from the inside. The warning signs — a key that needs jiggling, sticks in one position, or has to be forced — usually appear weeks before the cylinder seizes completely, generally at the least convenient moment.

What we do

Cylinder rebuild or full replacement, rekeyed to your existing key where the platform allows so you keep one key for everything, plus broken key extraction from the ignition.

Do not wait for it to snap

A cylinder caught while it is still turning is a roadside repair. A snapped key in a seized ignition is a tow. If your key is getting harder to turn, call before it stops turning altogether.
