Ignition Repair in Denver Metro

Common causes: worn wafers inside the cylinder, a worn or bent key, a locked steering wheel binding the cylinder, or a shifter not fully in Park. I diagnose first so you pay for the actual fix, not a guess.

Often, yes. Worn wafers can sometimes be serviced and binding can be freed. Replacement is recommended only when the cylinder is beyond repair.

Service call starts at $49; ignition work is priced per vehicle because labor and parts vary a lot between vehicles. Every job is quoted before I begin.

It depends on the vehicle, the fault and parts availability. I give an estimate after diagnosis rather than a fixed time.

Not always. Many ignition cylinder repairs can be done on-site across Denver Metro; some electronic faults or parts need a dealer or mechanic.

Sometimes. Push-to-start failures can trace to the fob, the start button, a steering-lock or ignition module, the brake switch or the 12V battery. I diagnose first; some electronic module faults need a dealer or mechanic.

Often — where the vehicle allows, a new cylinder can be rekeyed to match your existing key. Some vehicles need a new key too; I tell you before starting.

Sometimes. The mechanical cylinder and the electrical switch are separate parts. A failed electrical switch may be a mechanic's job; I diagnose which part has failed and tell you who is best placed to fix it.

That depends on your specific policy or extended warranty, so check with your provider. Falcon Locksmith does not accept insurance as payment or bill providers directly — you pay for the service, and I always provide an itemized receipt you can submit if you want to request reimbursement. Whether your claim is covered or approved is entirely up to your provider.
