Frequently asked questions

Why won’t my key turn in the ignition?

The most common causes are: the steering wheel is locked (turn it while turning the key), a worn ignition cylinder, a deformed key, or an electronic issue in modern cars. We diagnose the exact cause before doing anything.

Can you remove a broken key from the cylinder?

Yes. We have special tools to extract broken key pieces without damaging the cylinder. In most cases, we can cut a new key on the spot.

Do I need to replace the ignition cylinder?

Not always. We try to repair it first. If the cylinder is heavily worn or damaged, we’ll recommend replacement and give you a quote before starting.

How fast can you get here?

In Benidorm and nearby areas, we usually arrive in 20–45 minutes. Send your location on WhatsApp and we’ll confirm an exact ETA.

Do you work on VAG cars (Volkswagen, Audi, Seat, Skoda)?

Yes, we’re specialists in the VAG group. We know their ignition systems and cylinders very well. We also work on all other brands.

What should I do while I’m waiting?

Don’t force the key — you could snap it or damage the cylinder. If the steering wheel is locked, try turning it gently left/right while turning the key. If it doesn’t work, wait for us. We’ll be there fast.
