About the service
Professional Ignition Repair in Canoga Park
Most Canoga Park ignition calls start the same way: you're in a parking lot off Sherman Way or sitting in a driveway near Winnetka, the key is in, and nothing happens. Two very different problems get blamed on "the ignition." Sometimes the key won't rotate at all, which usually means the cylinder is worn or the wafers are gummed up. Other times the key turns fine but the engine never cranks, and that's almost always the electrical switch behind the cylinder, not the lock.
We sort those out before touching anything. A west Valley summer bakes cars parked outside all day, and heat plus years of jingling keys grinds cylinders down faster than people expect. Knowing which failure you've got saves you from paying for the wrong fix.

What to expect
What Happens When You Call Us in Canoga Park
We come to where the car sits, whether that's an apartment lot near Warner Center or a side street over by Woodland Hills. First thing is a quick test: does the key turn? If it turns and there's no crank, we check the electrical switch and wiring before assuming the cylinder failed. If it won't turn, we pull and inspect the cylinder, clear any broken key, and rebuild or replace the wafers on the spot.
Most cylinder jobs we finish curbside without a tow, and we cut and program a fresh key to match. If it's genuinely the switch on a newer push-to-start or transponder setup, we'll tell you straight rather than guess.
Typical arrival across Canoga Park and the surrounding west Valley runs under an hour, traffic depending. Call (818) 398-9391 and describe what the key does.

Common questions
FAQ
Can you fix it where my car is, or does it need a tow?
For the usual Canoga Park calls, worn cylinder, key that won't turn, or a broken key, we work right where the car sits and skip the tow. A few newer push-to-start or deep wiring faults need a shop, and if yours is one of those we'll say so before you pay for anything.
My key turns but the car won't start, is that the ignition?
Usually not the lock cylinder. If the key rotates normally and the engine just won't crank, the problem is typically the electrical switch behind the cylinder or its wiring, sometimes a security/transponder issue. We test that path before pulling the cylinder so you're not charged for a part that was fine.
What's the difference between the switch and the cylinder?
The cylinder is the mechanical lock your key slides into, it wears out and stops turning. The switch is the electrical part it triggers to power the starter. Key-won't-turn is a cylinder job; key-turns-but-no-crank is a switch job. We figure out which one in the first couple minutes on-site.
