How phone estimates work

Call first for Ignition Repair

Ignition trouble strands you same as no key - stuck, wiggle, spins, or theft damage. We work at the car in the GTA: figure out if it is the key, the cylinder, or the switch, then fix or replace. Common makes we often have cores for.

Driveway, lot, or doorstep anywhere in Toronto or the GTA. Call (647) 874-2137 first for ETA and the real quote — the rest below is only if you want details before you book.

A mobile tech comes to you with the tools needed for the agreed job.

What dispatch needs to quote your job

We do not publish fixed rates online because the real price depends on the exact job, parts, and access. These are the details dispatch uses to quote you by phone before we head out.

  • Diagnosis vs repair vs replaceWe inspect before committing - extraction, rebuild, or new ignition carry different scopes.
  • Parts availabilityOEM or aftermarket ignition assemblies affect price and lead time - quoted before work.
  • Labour on siteSteering column trim and anti-theft interlocks vary by model.
  • Related key workNew keys or reprogramming may pair with ignition service - bundled in the phone quote.

Need the exact quote?

Call and we will price the job from the details you give us before we dispatch.

Common questions before you call — Ignition Repair & Replacement

My key turns but the car won't start - is that the ignition?

Maybe cylinder, maybe switch - we check both before we sell you a part.

Can you extract a broken key from the ignition?

Yes - hooks and extractors, slow so we do not wreck the wafers.

Will the replacement ignition use my existing key?

Usually - we pin the new core to your key when it fits the series.

Is ignition repair covered by auto insurance?

Theft damage sometimes hits comprehensive - your adjuster decides.

How long does replacement take?

Figure 15-30 min to know what it is, 1-2 hours for many swaps depending on car.
