Ignition and barrel repair, on your driveway
If your key will not turn, is stuck, or the ignition has worn out, we repair and replace ignition barrels and full lock sets on-site across the North West, from £239.95, so you avoid recovery and a garage bill.
Common ignition faults we fix
Worn wafers, jammed cylinders, keys that turn but will not start, and barrels seized by dirt are all repairs we carry out at your home or workplace. Where a barrel has to be replaced we match it to your existing key, or supply and code a new key so a single key still works everything.
All makes, wherever you are
We cover cars and vans of virtually every make right across the North West, from Liverpool to Warrington. If your key has snapped inside the ignition we also provide broken key extraction and can cut a fresh key at the same time.
