What’s included
- Extraction from door, trunk and ignition — with the lock left intact.
- The reason the key snapped diagnosed before a new one is cut.
- Replacement key cut, and programmed where the car needs it.
- Worn-duplicate inspection — if your spare looks like the one that broke, you want to know now.
- House and mailbox keys extracted on the same visit terms.
What moves the price
- Where it snapped — door cylinder versus ignition.
- How deep the piece sits and whether it rotated on break.
- Whether a replacement key is cut in the same stop.
Typical range: $65–$220. The spread: a door cylinder extraction sits low; an ignition job with a replacement key sits high — the diagnosis is part of the visit.

Quick answers
Should I try to pull the piece out myself?
Please don’t — pliers push the piece deeper and score the cylinder walls. Super-glue tricks are worse. Extraction tools grip the fragment without either damage.
Why did my key snap in the first place?
Fatigue — keys crack along their length long before they fail, usually from years of a slightly misaligned door. The new key gets cut true, and the alignment gets looked at.
It broke inside the ignition. Same visit or tow?
Same visit, no tow — ignition extractions are routine van work. The replacement key is cut and programmed on the spot where the platform needs it.
The lock turns fine with my spare. Skip the extraction?
You can run on the spare short-term, but the broken fragment will corrode and jam the cylinder eventually — extraction now is cheaper than a lock replacement later.
House key snapped in the deadbolt — same pricing?
Door-cylinder extractions sit at the low end of the range whether car or house — the visit covers the pull and a fresh cut from the code.
