Fast and Reliable Ignition Repairs for Skoda Vehicles
If you’re facing ignition issues with your Skoda vehicle on the Sunshine Coast, you’re not alone. Many Skoda owners find that their key won’t turn in the ignition, no matter how much you wiggle or try to start it. In some cases, the key may get stuck in the “Off” position, preventing you from starting your vehicle. We’ve also seen situations where the key becomes stuck in the “On” position while the engine is still running, making it impossible to turn the engine off, which can be frustrating and even dangerous. These problems are common across multiple Skoda models, but the good news is that they can be fixed quickly without the high costs and long delays at your local dealership.
We frequently see these ignition issues in Skoda models which include:
- Skoda Octavia, Superb, Yeti, Rapid, Karoq, Kodiaq, and Scala – These models are known to experience ignition problems, such as the key failing to turn or getting stuck. In most cases, we can repair the ignition on-site. If a replacement is needed, we keep the necessary parts in stock, eliminating long dealership wait times.
- Skoda Citigo and Kamiq – These models may have sticky ignitions or issues where the key turns to the start position but won’t move further, often indicating a faulty ignition housing or switch. We can replace these components on the spot using the equipment in our fully stocked mobile vans.
The main cause of these problems is wear and tear over time on the ignition system. Small internal components within the ignition lock can wear down or become jammed, making it difficult to turn the key. If left unresolved, the issue can worsen and lead to a complete ignition failure.

Mark31/03/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wow where do I even start. Firstly if you NEED an Auto-locksmith and you're on the Sunny coast....Give Kev a call!!!! I locked the keys in the boot of the misses car on Sunday afternoon and after calling several other "Emergency Auto-Locksmiths" who simply said "best we can do is tomorrow". I finally got onto Kev who just said "Be there in an hour". After arriving he went to work with expert efficiency in a very difficult situation and had the car unlocked in about 15 minutes flat. Please don't waste your time with others. Make Kev your first point of call as he truly DOES respond to emergency situations. Thanks once again mate, couldn't be happier with your efforts and service. Rich16/03/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Awesome job and highly recommended. Had a second issue with the car auto locking and this guy came to help immediately.. Thanks heaps. David Neal07/03/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We bought a second car from a dealer and guess what, no spare key and no emergency blade inside the electronic key they gave us! Buyer beware I guess. I did complain but we really wanted the car for our son to get to Uni. So I just called Kev and he sorted everything at a good price. We now have 2 blades and 2 electronic keys. Thanks so much. Great service. Stuart Limbrick06/03/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kev was a wizard with doing on the spot replacement of my seized key barrel of my VW, which three others I contacted refused to touch, and the VW service center on the Sunshine coast quoted 3 times his price, and up to six weeks wait for German replacement parts ! Pure Genius ! Robyn Nolan03/03/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service at my own home. Kevin was very professional and competent.

Very prompt and professional service at a reasonable cost. In fact Kev came to my house at a price that was comparable to the charge for me taking my car and keys to a locksmith's office in the Coast. Pleasing that he got the new proximity key fully working with my Peugeot 508. Sam Ross17/01/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
