When your ignition needs attention

Ignition trouble starts with small signs. it could be your car key sticks, or that it takes several tries to turn, or it may even feel loose in the ignition cylinder. Your vehicle can also have trouble starting for reasons unrelated to your key.

The ignition switch and ignition cylinder serve different purposes. The cylinder is where a traditional key goes, while the switch controls electrical functions involved in starting and running the car. Finding the actual problem helps determine if ignition repair, cylinder work, or another repair makes sense.

Pro tip: Don’t force a stuck key. Extra pressure can damage your key!
