Can’t Start Your Car? Let Us Help with Our Ignition Repair Services

The ignition is what powers your car’s engine and gets you on the road. If your ignition system is malfunctioning though, you’ll be left with a key that doesn’t turn, a car that doesn’t start, and a key that might break or get stuck inside the ignition. The worst part is that this can happen anytime. You might be stuck in a parking lot or on the highway with apparently no way to start your car. 

Before you hit up the towing company as a last resort, why not contact Royal Locksmith and inspect your car’s ignition system? Getting your car’s ignition repaired is much more cost-effective as compared to towing. Whether the ignition broke down due to wiring issues or some problem with your transponder key, we’ll investigate the root cause and resolve the problem quickly.

Common Signs of Faulty Ignition Systems in Cars

Ignition system failures may occur without warning, but in most cases, your car gives certain signs before the ignition system breaks down. Here are the signs you should get your ignition system repaired immediately before it turns into a bigger problem: 

  • The car starts, but only after multiple attempts. This is typically due to ignition switch problems.
  • The car stalls while you’re driving, turning off all of a sudden. This is a serious safety concern.
  • Because of inconsistent electrical supply, the headlights are turning on and off intermittently.
  • If you turn the key in the ignition and nothing happens, it’s often a sign of an electrical issue.
  • The key doesn’t turn at all in the ignition due to damaged tumblers in the ignition cylinder.

We are the experts in car ignition repair. If you are noticing any of the above signs or facing any other problems turning on your car, contact us to get your car running again!

  • The reasons why ignition systems malfunction.

Understanding the Causes of Common Ignition Problems

Knowing the causes behind ignition problems can help you perform preventive measures beforehand, whether that includes regular cleaning or maintenance services. Here are some of the causes of typical ignition problems that our auto locksmiths have laid down for you: 

General wear-and-tear 

Ignition cylinders go through wear and tear, reducing their functionality. To prevent this, lubricate the cylinders and get your car inspected if you notice any resistance while turning on your car. 

Dirt and debris build up 

If dirt and debris accumulate in the ignition cylinder and you don’t clean it properly, it will eventually prevent the key from turning in the cylinder. Keep both the key and the ignition slot clean. 

Weak or dead battery 

The battery is not directly related to the ignition, but it can prevent your ignition from powering if the battery voltage is too low. Inspect the battery before assuming the ignition is at fault. 

Extreme weather conditions 

Extreme cold can freeze the ignition’s inner components, while excessive heat can cause them to expand. Avoid parking your car in places where there is extreme heat or cold to prevent this. 

Damaged or cracked key 

If your key is heavily damaged or cracked, it can easily get stuck in the ignition and even snap in half. Contact us so we can provide you with a car key replacement before this happens. 

Don’t trust just anyone for an ignition switch repair. It’s an essential part of your car, so choose a professional like Royal Locksmith to help you with it. Call us today!

Ignition Repair vs. Ignition Replacement | Choosing Between the Two

Ignition repair and replacement are two different services. When you’re experiencing problems with your ignition, the question is whether you should just get your ignition serviced or replaced with a new one altogether. Here’s a simple breakdown to help you choose: 

  • If you’re experiencing minor issues with your ignition, such as stalling, cylinder problems, or the key not turning, a repair would suffice
  • If the ignition has completely broken down due to internal electrical failures and extensive damage, a replacement is necessary.

At Royal Locksmith, we specialize in both services to help you start your car no matter what problem you’re going through.
