The situation.
Do not force a key that resists turning. Check the owner’s manual for ordinary operation, and tell us whether a spare behaves differently. A no-start may be outside the lock or key system altogether.
The approach to your vehicle.
We review the symptoms and vehicle details to determine whether the issue is a candidate for locksmith service or needs an automotive diagnostic specialist. Repair options and availability are confirmed case by case.
Questions about ignition & key issues.
Does a no-start mean I need a new key?
No. A vehicle battery, starter, mechanical issue or security system can produce different no-start symptoms. The cause needs assessment.
Should I use lubricant in the ignition?
Avoid applying products without guidance for the specific lock. Describe the symptoms first rather than risking contamination or damage.
Can you help with a broken key in the ignition?
Ask for an extraction assessment and stop trying to turn the remaining piece. Vehicle and lock condition determine the available options.
