Car Key Stuck in Ignition?
If your car key is stuck and won't turn in the ignition, simply turn the steering wheel in the opposite direction. This should release the lock and you can remove the key.
The key can become stuck for a number of other reasons that are harder to fix. Including a damaged car key, damaged wafers, or a steering wheel lock failure. Our Auto Locksmith in Poole will identify and fix these faults using specialist machines onboard our Auto Locksmith van.
Car Key Broken in Door?
If your car key has broken in the car door then this is either because the key has been damaged over time due to the type of metal that it is made from, or because there was too much pressure being applied to the car key when locking and unlocking the car door.
Luckily, our highly trained Auto Locksmith can remove a snapped car key from a car door lock without damaging the lock or the keyway.
Remote Car Key Fob Replacement and Repairs
Over time, remote car key fobs may split from heavy use or even become water damaged. This will prevent you from opening your car door remotely and may even prevent your car from starting.
Our Auto Locksmith will firstly be able to give you a car key fob replacement. Then re-cut or create a new key and finally programme it to your car.
Car Key Repair Prices
Car key repairs can vary wildly from a simple manual car key replacement starting at around £150 to a remote key fob. You can expect to pay double that of a manual key for a remote key fob.
