What a key fob does
A fob locks and unlocks the doors remotely, and on many vehicles it also carries the transponder chip the engine needs before it will start. That is why a basic copy without the right chip may open the doors but not start the car.
Our replacement process
- We confirm the make, model, year and key type.
- We quote for the fob, cutting and programming.
- On site, we cut any blade and program the fob and chip.
- We test locking, unlocking and starting before we leave.
Battery or broken case?
Sometimes the fix is simpler: a weak battery or a cracked shell. We will check that first so you only pay for what you need.
Frequently asked questions
Can you program a spare so I have two?
Yes, and having a spare is usually much cheaper than replacing a key after all copies are lost.
Do I need to tow the car to you?
No. Our mobile service comes to the vehicle.
