Key Fob &Remote Repair.

Fob repair, button replacement, case renewal, and remote re-pairing. A cost-effective alternative to full key replacement.

Not every key problem needs a full replacement

Worn buttons, cracked cases, unresponsive remotes — these are among the most common key complaints your customers will bring in. The good news is that most of them don't need a brand-new key. A targeted repair is faster, cheaper, and keeps the original transponder and blade intact.

For the trade, that means a lower cost to your customer, a quicker turnaround, and a better margin for you. It's a service that pays for itself.

What we repair

We handle the full range of fob and remote issues:

  • Button pad replacement — worn or non-responsive rubber pads swapped for new, tactile replacements
  • Case renewal — cracked, split, or cosmetically damaged shells replaced with quality aftermarket or OEM-pattern cases
  • PCB repair — micro-soldering of damaged tracks, replacement of surface-mount components, and repair of battery contact points
  • Battery contact repair — corroded or broken battery terminals restored so the fob holds charge reliably
  • Remote re-pairing — if the fob has lost sync with the vehicle, we re-pair it to the car's receiver so lock, unlock, and boot release work as they should

Ideal for postal service

Fob repairs are particularly well suited to our postal service. Your customer's key arrives by post, we carry out the repair, and it's back with you — often within 24 to 48 hours. No vehicle required, no booking a mobile appointment, no waiting around. Simple, efficient, and cost-effective for everyone involved.

A smart trade offering

Offering fob repair alongside full replacement gives your workshop a two-tier pricing structure. Customers who baulk at a full replacement quote will often go ahead with a repair — meaning you retain the job rather than losing it altogether. We provide the technical work; you provide the customer relationship.
