Ignition Repair

When Your Key Won't Turn Anymore

Fast ignition repair service for vehicles in Albuquerque, New Mexico

You turn the key and nothing happens, or it sticks halfway and refuses to release. In Albuquerque, where daily commutes and quick errands depend on reliable vehicle access, a failing ignition can leave you stranded in your own driveway or a parking lot with plans falling apart around you.

Lock Around the Clock 24/7 provides on-site ignition repair that addresses worn tumblers, damaged wafers, and mechanical failures that prevent your key from turning or starting the engine. The service includes diagnosis of the ignition cylinder, repair of internal components when possible, and replacement only when necessary. This approach reduces downtime and often costs less than a full ignition swap at a dealership.

If your ignition is giving you trouble in Albuquerque, reach out to Lock Around the Clock 24/7 to schedule a mobile repair.

Repairing the mechanism that starts your vehicle

When you contact Lock Around the Clock 24/7 for ignition repair in Albuquerque, a technician arrives with diagnostic tools and replacement components suited to your vehicle make and model. The ignition is tested for resistance, wear, and electrical continuity to identify whether the issue is mechanical or related to the key itself.

After the repair, your key turns smoothly without resistance, the starter engages consistently, and you no longer need to jiggle or force the key to get your vehicle running. The cylinder holds the key firmly in each position without slipping back or sticking between settings.

Repairs are compatible with many vehicle brands and are completed on-site to avoid towing fees or waiting at a shop. If the ignition cannot be repaired, the technician will explain replacement options and provide an estimate before moving forward. The service focuses on restoring function without unnecessary part swaps.

Questions people ask before booking ignition work

Homeowners and drivers often want to know what caused the problem, how long the repair takes, and whether their key will need to be replaced along with the ignition cylinder.

What causes an ignition to stop working?
Ignitions wear out from repeated use, especially if the keychain is heavy or the key is forced when the steering wheel is locked. Dirt and corrosion inside the cylinder can also prevent smooth operation.
How long does ignition repair take?
Most repairs are completed within an hour, including diagnosis and testing. If replacement is required, the timeline may extend slightly depending on the vehicle and availability of parts.
Will I need a new key after the repair?
Not usually. If the key is worn or damaged, the technician will recommend a replacement, but most repairs work with your existing key once the cylinder is restored.
Can you repair ignitions for all vehicle types?
Lock Around the Clock 24/7 services a wide range of vehicle brands and models. The technician will confirm compatibility when you schedule the appointment.
What if the ignition cannot be repaired?
You will receive a clear explanation of the issue and an estimate for replacement before any additional work begins. The goal is to restore function with the least invasive solution.
