Ignition Problems
Seized barrel. Worn key. Steering lock engaged. Whatever the cause — we diagnose and fix ignition problems on-site, especially on commercial vehicles before your working day starts.
The 5am Van Problem
You've got a delivery. A job. A team waiting. And the van key turns half way and stops. Every minute standing in that car park costs real money.
We specialise in commercial vehicle ignition issues and carry replacement barrels for the most common vans on the road. Ford Transit, Mercedes Sprinter, VW Transporter — we've done them all, at the side of the road, before 8am.
📞 Get An Engineer NowWe carry a wide range of barrels for popular commercial and passenger vehicles. Replaced on-site, no workshop visit needed.
Sometimes it's not the barrel — it's a worn key that no longer engages the tumblers correctly. We can cut a new key on the spot.
Steering lock engaged with a worn or seized barrel is a common combination. We release the lock safely without damage to the column.
