Broken Ignition Key Extraction in Nashville
A key snapped in the ignition doesn't have to mean a new ignition. Called early, most extractions are clean.
When a key breaks off in an ignition cylinder, the failure mode depends on where it snapped and whether you tried to force the remaining stub. Called before anyone tugs on it, we usually extract the broken piece in minutes and cut a replacement on the same visit.
Do not force the stub
Turning the remaining piece can jam the wafers or spin the cylinder loose in its housing. Either turns a straightforward extraction into a full ignition rebuild. Leave the car alone and call.
When the ignition needs replacement
If the cylinder was already worn and the break happened mid-turn, we may find damaged wafers or a spun tailpiece. In those cases we can replace or rebuild the ignition curbside and re-key it to your original key or to a new key of your choice.
