Frequently Asked Questions

How much does ignition repair cost in Fort Worth?

A wafer rebuild runs $150-$280 and a full cylinder replacement $280-$550 depending on the make, plus $50-$150 if a new key must be cut and programmed. A common failure on 2005-2015 GM/Chevrolet and Chrysler/Dodge vehicles is wafer wear from keyring weight — a rebuild now prevents a pricier replacement later.

My key broke off in the ignition — what now?

Do not try to fish it out with pliers — you will damage the cylinder and turn a $75 extraction into a $400 replacement. Call us. Extraction with proper broken-key tools takes 10-20 minutes and runs $75-$150 if the wafers are still intact.

Why does my ignition turn but the engine not start?

Usually a transponder or immobilizer issue — the chip in the key is not being read. It could be the antenna ring around the cylinder, a dead transponder, or an immobilizer / module fault. We diagnose on-site with OBD-II scan tools and can program the immobilizer or module if that is the cause.

Can you do ignition work without towing my car?

Yes — that is the whole point of mobile service. All ignition work happens in your driveway, the parking lot at work, or wherever the car is stuck. We carry the most common cylinders for Ford, Chevrolet, Chrysler, and Dodge on the truck.
