Frequently Asked Questions
Can you repair a worn ignition barrel in St Albans?

What should I do if my key is stuck in the ignition?
Leave it where it is. Pushing and wiggling a jammed key usually ends with the blade snapping inside the lock. We come out across St Albans, remove the key safely and put the ignition right.
Can you replace an ignition barrel at my home or workplace?

Do you work on all makes and models of vehicles?
Practically every mainstream make, cars and vans alike. Fords are the most common, but the list runs from Vauxhall and VW Group through the French and Japanese makes. Rare vehicles are worth a quick confirmation call.
