Ignition Repair & Replacement – common questions
My key turns but the car doesn't start. Is it the ignition?
It can be the ignition switch, the key chip or the immobilizer. We diagnose on site and tell you which before any repair.
Can you repair the ignition without replacing it?
Often yes. Worn wafers inside the cylinder can be replaced and the cylinder rekeyed to your existing key, which costs less than a new unit.
Do I need to tow the car?
No. Ignition repair and replacement is done at your location, wherever the car is parked.
How fast can you get to me in Charlotte?
Most calls in Charlotte are reached within 20 to 40 minutes. 5 Star Locksmith runs mobile units around the city from 7 AM to 11 PM, and the dispatcher gives you an arrival time when you call 704-709-3684.
Do I get a price before you start?
Yes, always. The technician checks the lock or the car on arrival and quotes the whole job before touching anything. The estimate is free and there are no hidden fees.
Are your technicians background-checked?
Yes. 5 Star Locksmith has been in business since 2010, and every technician is background-checked and shows ID on arrival.
