Frequently Asked Questions about Ignition Repair in Nuneaton

How much does ignition repair cost in Nuneaton?

Ignition repairs are quoted individually because the price depends on your car and the fault. Message us your car details and the symptoms and we will confirm a price before we travel. No call-out fee and no VAT.

What is the difference between an ignition barrel and an ignition switch?

The barrel is where you insert the key. The switch is behind it and handles the electrical side. Barrel faults make the key stick or not turn, switch faults make the car fail to start. We deal with both.

Can you remove a key snapped in the ignition?

Yes. We remove broken key pieces from the ignition barrel and then repair or replace the barrel if it has been damaged. Message us your car details and a photo if you can.

Do you repair ignition faults on Ford Fiesta and Focus in Nuneaton?

Yes. Ford Fiesta, Focus, Transit and Transit Custom are among the models we repair most. Send your model and year for a quote.

Both keys of my Mini One needed replacing as they were both losing their charge. They were sealed remotes and batteries can’t just be changed easily. The main Mini dealer wanted an eye watering amount to just get one key done.. and would take 7-10 days. Carlos came to my home and in about an hour I had 2 keys which work perfectly. So grateful I gave this company a try instead of the dealer. Highly recommended.

I replaced the key fob housing for a colleague's car; everything worked, but the immobilizer caused an issue. I communicate with them online; they scheduled an appointment for two hours later, arrived right on time, and finished the job in 20-30 minutes. They offered a better price than the others. I was very satisfied with the service—fast and reliable.

Very professional. Punctual. Knows what he does. I lost my only key, and Carlos came and saved me. It was a complex process. I had one locksmith before Carlos who came, assessed the situation, and tried different blades but was unsuccessful. The other guy said, “I can fix it, but I will double the price.” Carlos came, and all he said was, “Leave it with me.” I felt reassured and knew I was in safe hands. Carlos still did the job with 2ish hours and for the price that we agreed on over the call. I of course do recommend Carlos, and he will be my first bloke to go to if I have a similar issue. Thanks Carlos.

It was a pleasure to deal with top motor keys. Carlos the fitter did a first class job in a little under 2 hrs. I had the auto watch ghost -II fitted and he explained everything about it's function to me. If anyone is thinking about having one of these installed.. don't hesitate if you value your vehicle.. other than towing it away there's no way any scumbag can start your car and take it. Carlos was very professional and tidy. You wouldn't know he'd fitted anything. First class job and worth the money 👍
