The key was stuck in the ignition and reading it was overheating, the car wouldn’t start without dinging. I turned the key forward, not started and wiggled the steering wheel left and right. I then wiggled the gear shift like 6-8-10 times, then turned the key backwards to off and put one finger on the cylinder while wiggling and gently tugging on the key to come out. After about 5-10secs the key was out!!! ????????

I will be eternally grateful to this shop. We were about to depart on a 2,000 mile drive when we discovered we had lost the key to our roof box. Our 11 year old 120 pound dog occupied pretty much all of the cargo area in our station wagon so we were in desperate straits. Ernie actually had a Thule master key and managed to unlock the box and replace the tumblers in very short time. He saved us an enormous amount of stress and / or trauma. Highly recommended.
