These guys were recommended to me by my garage as the only company they trust and refer to for ignition issues, and I can see why. Prompt arrival, excellent service, clear and comprehensive advice and a 12 month warranty. The car was not damaged or compromised in any way and they left no mess. Definitely recommend Autolox.

Common Ignition Lock Problems
Ignition systems experience wear over time, especially with daily use. We regularly assist customers experiencing:
- Key stuck in the ignition
- Ignition barrel not turning
- Snapped or damaged keys
- Worn ignition components
- Steering lock issues
- Vehicle failing to recognise the key
Ignoring ignition problems can lead to complete failure, often preventing the vehicle from starting altogether.
When to Call an Ignition Locksmith
You should arrange inspection if:
- Your key feels stiff when turning
- The ignition occasionally jams
- The steering lock fails to release
- The key only works intermittently
Early repair often prevents full ignition failure.
I contacted Kirk this morning as my ignition barrel broke and he was with me within 3 hours and fixed the issue there and then for a reasonable price. Absolutely saved my day and couldn't be happier with the service!
- Ben Broad
Kirk attended my issue promptly and politely and had my issue solved within 10 minutes. Would certainly recommend his services.
- Steve Cox
Called Kirk after a Mercedes mechanic said I needed to remove the cluster unit and have it reconditioned. A mobile mechanic said he thought it was the ignition and recommended Kirk. He came withing 2 days and said it was the steering lock which in a Mercedes won't let it start. He sorted it quickly and a great price. Nice bloke and knows his stuff. Saved me a fortune.
