Easy installation!
January 16, 2018
The videos and instructions for this product were spot on; the repair timeframe was about 40 minutes, and it fixed the issue with my wife's Mercury Mountaineer. Great service / delivery and great support, thanks!
Perfect fit
February 7, 2018
Perfect fit, and came with all parts and then some. Got put together under 30 min and installed under an hour. Highly recommended to anyone
Directions were perfect.
March 25, 2018
Had a issue with my drivers seat moving when I hit a bump. I thought I was going to have to change the whole thing and have a different key but after watching the video and getting the directions with the parts everything went smooth. Very small pieces with little number on them. So far no issues and old keys work fine. Thank you
Fairly simple
April 8, 2018
Watched a video on You Tube and followed the included instructions and project was fairly simple. New lock cylinder fixed all my problems.
Easy repair
August 24, 2018
Ordered this for a 2008 Ford Explorer (Eddie Bauer). The part was a perfect fit. The video instructions made this an easy repair. Took less than an hour. Thanks!!!!
November 13, 2018
Arrived on time, exactly as described, works great! Thanks A1 Auto, your videos are informative and helped me complete the job in record time.
Keep Your Original Key
January 26, 2020
Replacing the ignition switch and matching the original tumblers was cut & dry. The hardest part was removing the switch. It seems I couldn't depress the locking latch properly. Poking a pick into a small hole & not being able to see what you're doing didn't help. Still, I'm very happy with the results.
Works great, not hard to install.
May 6, 2020
I installed this in a 2010 f-150 in less than an hour from start to finish, the instructions were easy to follow and it has worked great so far (it has been installed for about a month). Love that I didnt have to get new keys. I would recommend this to anyone.
Worth it!
June 18, 2020
I‘ve never replaced a a key cylinder before and felt like I was in unknown territory but the how to video made it easy and I save a ton of money after every place I took it said they it was $125 walk in the door or it would need a new key. 45min later and same key later I was on my way. Thanks 1A Auto
