Common Ignition & Lock Problems on Cars and Vans
Modern vehicle ignitions and locks are complex and, over time, certain makes and models develop well-known faults. When compared to the cost of repairs at a main dealership, using a specialist ignition and lock repair service often makes far more sense.
Based in Chelmsford, Essex, Adlocks provides professional ignition and lock repairs for cars and light commercial vehicles. We help motorists and trade customers resolve common ignition and lock issues quickly, without the long delays and high costs often associated with dealerships.
Dealers frequently need to order parts from abroad and operate with much higher overheads as part of franchise groups. At Car Lock Doc, we carry common ignition and lock components and can often repair or replace faulty parts on-site, keeping costs down and vehicles off the road for as little time as possible.
In urgent situations, you can rely on us to diagnose and resolve ignition and lock faults efficiently on a wide range of vehicles, including popular makes such as:
Ford, Volkswagen, Audi, Vauxhall, Renault, Nissan, Peugeot, Fiat, Citroën, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Skoda and SEAT.
Ignition Fault – Key Stuck or Ignition Will Not Turn

Various Skoda models
Various SEAT models

These faults are usually due to wear within the ignition barrel or steering lock mechanism. We carry replacement ignition locks and can repair or replace the faulty components efficiently. Replacement key blades and remote keys can also be supplied if needed.
