Remote Key Replacement: an overview
A remote key combines a key blade with lock and unlock buttons. When the buttons stop working, the cause may be a flat battery, a worn case, a damaged circuit or a remote that has lost its pairing with the vehicle.
Problems we can help with
- Remote buttons not working
- Cracked or broken key case
- Buttons worn through
- Remote works only up close
- Lost remote key
What we do
We test the remote and the vehicle to find the cause. Depending on the fault, we replace the battery, fit a new case, repair or replace the remote, cut the blade and pair the remote with your car. Each key is tested before you leave.
