Frequently Asked Questions
How much does ignition repair cost in Fort Worth?
Wafer rebuild $150-$280. Full cylinder replacement $280-$550 depending on make. Add $50-$150 if a new key must be cut and programmed. Most common failure on 2005-2015 GM/Chrysler vehicles is wafer wear from the keyring weight — a $180 rebuild prevents a $500+ 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 $50 extraction into a $400 replacement. Call us. Extraction with proper broken-key tools takes 10-20 minutes and costs $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. Could be the antenna ring around the cylinder, a dead transponder chip, or an immobilizer fault. We diagnose on site with the same OBD-II scan tools the dealer uses.
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, GM, Chrysler, Toyota, Honda, and Nissan on the truck.
