Short answers

Can I pull the broken key out myself?

We do not recommend it. Pliers and tweezers usually push the piece deeper or break it again, which makes the job longer.

Can you make a new key at the car?

Often yes. A plain key can usually be cut on site. Keys with a chip or remote also need programming, and we tell you on the call if your car allows it.

Will the ignition need replacing?

Usually not. If the ignition is damaged, we tell you before doing anything else and give you the options and the price.

What does it cost?

It depends on the car and what the key needs after the piece is out. We give you the price on the call before anyone drives out.
