Ignition Repair Stevenage
NJS Auto Locksmith provides mobile ignition repair and replacement throughout Stevenage, arriving with the tools and parts to fix the fault at your location. A stiff or jammed barrel gets worse every time you force it, so the earlier we see it, the more likely a straightforward rebuild will save it. We strip, clean and re shim worn barrels, extract snapped keys and repair theft damage, fitting a matched replacement only when the unit is past saving. Every job is finished with the ignition tested again and again, and the whole service costs a fraction of main dealer rates with no recovery needed.

Ignition Repairs in Stevenage
Worn barrels, theft damage and full replacements, handled wherever the car stands in Stevenage.
Worn Ignition
A worn ignition barrel is one of the most common problems we see. Repeated use wears the internal wafers, so the key sticks, needs jiggling or refuses to turn, and the ignition can eventually fail completely. We replace worn barrels on site across Stevenage, usually in a single visit.

Ignition Damaged From Theft
Break in attempts often leave ignitions gouged, jammed or forced, even when the car itself survived. We repair theft damage at your address in Stevenage, rebuilding or replacing barrels so the car starts safely again, with no need for a tow.

Ignition Replacements
Where a rebuild will not hold, we fit a complete new ignition at your Stevenage location, cutting fresh keys to match and testing everything before the van leaves.

Ignition faults are diagnosed and quoted before anything is stripped, wherever you are in Stevenage.

EXCELLENT Based on 79 reviews Posted on Google Ben MannTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic servicePosted on Google Sean BrennanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend Nick! After being let down by multiple auto locksmiths who either didn't show up—or in one case, took a deposit and vanished—finding Nick was a massive relief. From the initial contact, he was honest, professional, and kept me updated throughout. He arrived when he said he would, did fantastic work, and charged a very fair price with zero hidden fees. A genuine, reliable professional.Posted on Google Ian ThrussellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Have called Nick twice now for car keys.Would recommend.Turned up when he said he would .Great job thank you.Posted on Google Abi Walker- SpiersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Locked myself out of my car. Locksmith came out super quick, 45 minutes, and had the car open very quickly. Great communication, friendly service, very reasonable price to be back in my car so quick. Would absolutely recommend / use againPosted on Google Deborah AmottTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nick was amazing regarding spare keys for our Micra and Astra. Both were replaced at very reasonable cost, and the bonus being Nick came out to us, which saved a half hour journey each way. When our main Astra key then started playing up, Nick tried to help via messages, but we weren't confident to try the changes ourselves. So Nick visited again and we did end up needing a brand new key as the original was badly damaged. Again, done at a very reasonable cost. Nick is helpful, friendly and so easy to deal with. We would highly recommend.Posted on Google Lynne DeaconTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mick was fabulous. From call to key took an hour.

All positive and very happy all roundPosted on Google Organise SpaceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nick did a great job replacing the proximity assembly on my Nissan Micra – a job that several other mechanics refused to take on! He has a logical engineer's brain and approached the problem methodically, explaining the likely chances of success at every stage of what turned out to be a complicated repair. Highly recommended.Posted on Google Karen PestellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent service and highly recommend Nick.

Stuck and snapped keys are extracted without drilling where possible, then the barrel is restored or replaced as needed. Caught early, most barrels are saved in a single visit at a fraction of replacement cost.
From Stevenage town centre to the outer estates, 07377 961069 brings the fix to you.

Need Help With Your Car Keys?
daily A1(M) junction queues take it out of ignitions over the years. We see it across Stevenage, keys that turn on the third wiggle, barrels that jam in the cold, ignitions that only work at one very specific angle.
Britain's first pedestrianised town centre, built round a network of dedicated cycleways that still work. The Old Town high street keeps the historic feel while Fairlands Valley Park cuts green through the new town's neighbourhoods. That kind of daily driving is precisely what wears a barrel out.
We replace ignition barrels and cut matching keys at your address anywhere from Old Town to Knebworth and Graveley, at a fraction of dealer prices. If the key still turns, we can usually rebuild the lock side; if it has given up completely, we replace and reprogram on the spot.
