How long does it take to replace an ignition switch?
I need to get my ignition switch replaced on my car but I have a friend that will be picking me up once I drop the car off and bringing me back when it’s done. I want to give them a good idea of how much time they’ll have between dropping me off and picking me up. About how long does it take to replace an ignition switch?

I’m glad to hear that you have a reliable way to get to and from the mechanic, which can often be a difficult or expensive problem for many when trying to get their car serviced. Usually, an ignition switch replacement will only take about 20 minutes. However, it could take much longer depending on your car’s make and model and the complexity of the ignition covers.
The best way to know for sure how long your service will take is to talk to the mechanic directly. They can give you a more exact timeframe once they’ve looked at your vehicle and assessed the problem. They will also be able to factor in their availability and workload which can dramatically change the amount of time your car will need to be at the mechanic.
