The fragment location and cylinder condition determine the work needed. Save the remaining key pieces and avoid pushing the fragment farther in. Extraction and making a replacement are separate parts of the job.
A damaged or seized cylinder may need repair or replacement after the fragment is removed.

Main Street and Magnolia Avenue are useful references in downtown El Cajon. Include the actual business address and parking entrance, especially if the car is behind the building rather than on the street.
For a workplace visit, arrange permission to use the parking space while the vehicle is being serviced. If an ignition problem has left the car unable to move, say so when requesting the appointment.
