Joe managed to book my car in straight away and carried out a really thorough inspection before purchase. He even sent me a detailed video of the underside (something I’d never normally get to see), talking me through everything clearly and in a way I could understand. He also gave it an extensive test drive and ran full diagnostics to check for any hidden issues. The communication was outstanding, the service above and beyond, and the pricing very fair. An honest, professional garage I’d recommend to absolutely everyone!Posted on Tomos Gwyn2025-08-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I recently used the garage for a clutch replacement. Joe is a courteous, friendly and very knowledgeable mechanic. He explained the problem to me thoroughly, setting-out details of the work to be done, together with a cost estimate (which was a really accurate prediction). The work was carried quickly and efficiently. A major, positive service provided in the Cardiff area is that a customer’s car is picked up from their home and returned when work on the car is completed. What a bonus that is!! Thank you, Joe, for a very a very hassle-free experience.Posted on Joe Cameron2025-07-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joe's a top bloke!

Put simply, your ignition system is responsible for starting your engine and bringing your vehicle to life. Without a functional ignition system, even the healthiest car won’t start.
The core components of the ignition system are:
Spark Plugs – Ignite the fuel
Ignition coil – Produces the spark voltage
Ignition switch – Provides power input to the system
Starter motor – Responsible for turning the engine over
Typically, the failure of one of these components is the root cause of an ignition system failure and can be resolved with a repair or, in the worst case, outright replacement.
When you book in with us here at Lawfix Automotive, we will follow a tried and tested four-step process for getting your ignition system sorted and your vehicle back on the road. Our process is as follows –
1. Diagnostic Test –This will help us find the root cause of your issue and help us determine what needs to be done to get you back on the road.
2. Customer Feedback –Before undertaking any work, we contact all our customers, advising them of the fault and what will be required to repair it. We won’t start any work until the price is agreed.
3. Repair –If you’re happy with the quote, we will undertake the repair as fast as possible. Most repairs can be achieved the same day, ensuring you’re back on the road as quickly as possible.
4. Collection / Drop-off -Once the repairs are complete, you can collect your car from the garage, or we can sort out a drop-off at your home address!
We offer some of the best Ignition System Repair pricing in Cardiff.
We keep you regularly updated and send progress photos.
No waiting forever. We tell you the date you can expect your car back and we stick to it.
We can collect straight from your door, saving you the stress of sorting a lift back home!
The most common causes of an ignition system fault are faulty coils or spark plugs.
Yes. If the ignition system is beyond repair, we can swap it out for a new unit.
You don’t. Starting your vehicle if your car ignition system is broken is not advised, as it may cause more extensive damage.
Typically, an ignition switch lasts between 5-10 years, depending on the make and model of the vehicle.
Absolutely not. Trying to drive with a faulty ignition system will only make the problem worse and risk causing broader damage to other engine components.
The cost starts from around £100; however, the cost for repair/replacement will depend on the make, model, and nature of the work required. Rest assured, we won’t start any work before confirming a price with you.
We can usually repair most problems the same day. However, more complex jobs or full replacements will take longer. Once we have identified the root cause of your issue, we will advise on turnarounds.
Yes. We can repair or replace ignition systems for most vehicle makes and models!
100%. We won’t start any work until we provide a quote and agree upon it with you.
