How It Works

Diagnose the mechanism

We determine whether the issue is worn tumbler pins, internal debris, or a loose housing.

Clean and lubricate

Internal components are cleaned of debris and treated with the correct lock lubricant — never household oil, which attracts more dirt over time.

Repair or replace worn pins

Where pins are worn beyond cleaning, they're replaced individually rather than swapping the whole cylinder.

Test under real conditions

We start the vehicle repeatedly and check key turn smoothness before finishing.

Why Atlantic Beach Chooses Us

Many homes near Selva Marina still carry original 1960s-era deadbolts that were never designed for Florida's coastal humidity. That local knowledge directly shapes how we handle every ignition repair call in the area.

What It Costs

Ignition Repair costs can vary depending on hardware and timing, but we never start work without explaining the price first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this be fixed without replacing the whole ignition?

Often, yes. Many ignition issues come down to worn pins or debris that can be repaired directly.

Is it safe to keep driving with a sticky ignition?

It's worth addressing soon — a worn ignition can fail unpredictably, sometimes at the worst possible moment.

Will repairing the ignition affect my key?

Not normally. If your key is also worn, we'll point that out, but repair and key condition are assessed separately.
