Locks and Ignition Switches

One of the key issues people have when their car has suffered a robbery attempt, is that the lock or ignition lock gets damaged.
Also, some people try to pick the lock because they lost their car keys, and they end up ruining it.
Many people ask me if the ignition can be fixed, and 9 times out of 10 the answer is no.
The fact is a damaged lock is very hard to fix and many times it will be more costly to fix it than just buying a new one. Find out with the dealership how much your lock is. A locksmith can sometimes sell it to you cheaper, specially if you want the new lock keyed so your current car key works with it.
