MY KEYS WONT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION BARREL - WHAT DO I DO?

Struggling to remove your key from the ignition?

If the key turns but won’t come out of the ignition barrel, the issue is likely with either the key itself or the ignition mechanism. In most cases, this can be repaired without needing a full replacement, sometimes a full replacement will be needed.

Over 90% of ignition and key problems can be resolved right at the roadside as we stock all the most common ignitions that fail.

MY FORD TRANSIT IGNITION WONT TURN

This is a common issue with Ford Transits and, in many cases, Ford Fiestas. Over time, the wafers inside the ignition barrel can wear down, causing the key to turn stiffly or intermittently. If left unresolved, the ignition may eventually fail to turn altogether.

It’s best to have the problem addressed as early as possible to avoid further damage or more costly complications.

Nick was really helpful! I was quoted stupid amounts to fix my key. He was reasonable and booked me in rather than I’ll make some calls which was what I had elsewhere. Highly recommend! A very happy customer!
