About the service
Professional Ignition Repair in Glendale
Your key slides in but won't turn, or it turns and nothing happens under the hood. Either way you're stuck, probably in a garage off Brand or in a permit-parking spot on a hillside street where backing the car onto a tow truck is a headache. Locksmith HQ 24/7 handles ignition trouble across Glendale, from the flats near I-5 up into the canyon neighborhoods that climb toward the foothills.
The fix depends on what's actually failing. A worn cylinder, a broken key snapped off in the slot, and a dead electrical switch all feel similar from the driver's seat but need different work. We sort that out before touching anything, so you're not paying for parts the car doesn't need. Most jobs we finish right where the car sits.

What to expect
What Happens When You Call Us in Glendale
First we figure out whether the problem is mechanical or electrical. If the key won't turn at all, it's usually the cylinder, worn tumblers, a bent key, or debris packed in from years of use. If the key turns freely but the engine won't crank, the trouble is more often the ignition switch behind the cylinder, the wafers, or a wiring fault. Knowing which one saves you money and time.
For a broken key, we extract the piece and cut a fresh one matched to your lock, often without pulling the cylinder. Worn cylinders we rebuild or replace with new wafers and re-key to your existing key when we can. Switch faults we test and swap on the spot. We carry blanks and parts for most makes on the Glendale streets, so the SR-134 commute can keep running. Call (818) 398-9391.

Common questions
FAQ
Can you repair my ignition on-site or do I need a tow?
Almost always on-site. We handle key extraction, cylinder rebuilds, and switch swaps right where your car is parked, whether that's a Glendale garage near Brand or a tight hillside spot up toward the foothills. A tow is only needed in rare cases involving deeper electrical or steering-column damage, and we'll tell you straight if that's the situation.
What's the difference between the ignition switch and the cylinder?
The cylinder is the part your key goes into; the switch is the electrical component behind it that sends the signal to start. If the key won't turn, it's usually the cylinder. If the key turns fine but the engine won't crank, it's more often the switch or wiring. We test both before quoting anything.
My key turns but the car won't start. Is that an ignition problem?
It can be. When the key turns and there's no crank, the cause is frequently the ignition switch, worn wafers, or a wiring fault rather than the cylinder. But a no-start can also be the battery, starter, or anti-theft system, so we check the ignition first and point you the right direction if it's something else.
