Repair or replace?
If the chip and circuit board are fine, a repair keeps your existing programming. If the electronics have failed, we'll recommend a replacement fob or new key instead.

Questions we get asked
My key snapped in half. Can you fix it?
Usually. We cut a new blade to your car and fit it to your existing remote head, keeping the programming.
My key won't turn in the ignition. What's wrong?
Usually it's a worn key or worn ignition wafers. We check both and repair whichever is at fault.
Can you get a broken key out of my door lock?
Yes. We extract broken keys and cut you a working replacement.
Is it cheaper to repair than replace?
Often, but it depends on the fault. We'll tell you both options before starting.
