24/7 mobile locksmith service — call for current availability.
Call (317) 800-7555Some ignitions are genuinely finished — the wafers are collapsed, the housing is cracked, someone has attacked it during a theft attempt, or a snapped key has chewed the internals. Replacement is the honest answer there, and it does not require a tow truck or three days without your car. The whole job happens at the curb.
Why Indianapolis calls us for ignition replacement
Quality cylinders, not junk stock
We fit OEM or OEM-equivalent ignition assemblies chosen for your platform, not the cheapest listing available.
One key for the whole car
On makes that allow it we key the new cylinder to your existing door and trunk key, so you keep carrying one key.
Immobilizer handled properly
The transponder ring is transferred or the new assembly is coded to the vehicle, then start function is tested repeatedly.
Theft-damage specialists
Column damage from a break-in is common work for us, including the ignition, the shroud and the lock housing.
How it works
- 1Give us the year, make, model and what happened to the ignition.
- 2We confirm the correct assembly and quote parts and labor together.
- 3The technician removes the old cylinder and fits the new one at your location.
- 4Key matching, immobilizer coding and repeated start testing finish the job.
When replacement is the right call
We would rather repair. These are the cases where we will not pretend a rebuild will hold.
- Cylinder body cracked or spun freely inside the housing
- Theft or forced-entry damage to the column
- Key snapped off with internal wafer damage
- Repeated failures after a previous rebuild
- Water or corrosion damage inside the assembly
- Steering lock mechanism seized against the cylinder
What you avoid by going mobile
A shop route means a tow, a diagnostic wait, a wait for the assembly to arrive, then a day or more of shop time. We carry the common assemblies, and where a part must be sourced we set an appointment for the moment it lands. The car never leaves you.
What customers say
5.0 average from 250+ reviews across the Indianapolis metro.
“Locked my keys in the car outside work downtown. Got a straight answer on the phone and the tech had the door open without a scratch.”
“Lost the only key to our Camry. They cut and programmed two new keys right in the driveway for a lot less than the dealer quoted, and explained exactly what they were doing.”
“Bought a house and wanted everything keyed alike before we moved in. Six locks done in one visit, one key, clean work.”

Ignition Replacement FAQ
Will I need a new key after replacement?
Not always. Many platforms allow us to key the new cylinder to your current key. Where the design will not permit it we supply and program new keys as part of the quote.
Is this covered by insurance after a break-in?
Often, under comprehensive. We provide an itemized invoice with photos that adjusters accept.
How long will my car be out of action?
The work is done in your driveway or lot, and you drive the vehicle immediately afterwards.
Do you replace push-to-start ignition modules?
We handle the lock and immobilizer side, including steering lock actuators on many makes. Tell us the model and we will confirm before dispatch.
Do you warranty the new ignition?
Yes. Parts and workmanship are warranted, and the terms are printed on your invoice.
