Question 1

How much does ignition replacement cost?

Accepted Answer

Service call starts at $49; ignition replacement pricing depends heavily on the vehicle — a Toyota is a different job from a Mercedes-Benz. We quote every job in full before we begin, on-site across Denver Metro.

Question 2

How long does ignition replacement take?

Accepted Answer

Most on-site replacements are 60–120 minutes. Electronic ignition modules on European vehicles can take longer because of extended coding and pairing.

Question 3

Can you match my new ignition to my current key?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, yes. We re-key the new cylinder to your existing key so nothing else on the vehicle changes — same key still opens the doors, trunk, and glovebox.

Question 4

Do I need to go to the dealer for ignition replacement?

Accepted Answer

No. Falcon Locksmith replaces ignitions on-site for most vehicles. Towing to the dealer adds cost and days of downtime that we eliminate.

Question 5

What's the difference between ignition repair and replacement?

Accepted Answer

Repair services the existing cylinder — worn wafers, sticky pins, alignment. Replacement swaps in a new cylinder or electronic module when the original is beyond service. We diagnose which one you need before quoting.

Question 6

Do you replace push-to-start ignition modules?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Failed EIS/EZS modules on Mercedes-Benz, CAS modules on BMW, and equivalent modules on other push-to-start vehicles are replaced and coded on-site.

Question 7

Will replacing the ignition affect my anti-theft system?

Accepted Answer

It has to — a new module needs to be coded to the vehicle's immobilizer. We handle that as part of the replacement so the anti-theft system continues to work correctly.

Question 8

Is ignition replacement covered by warranty?

Accepted Answer

Some extended warranties and mechanical breakdown coverage include ignition components. Standard auto insurance rarely does. We provide detailed receipts for reimbursement claims.
