My key only works when very close to the car. Can that be fixed?

Often this is a battery or contact issue, which is a simple repair. Occasionally it points to a failing remote board, in which case we will discuss replacement.

Is repair always cheaper than replacement?

Usually, but not always worth it. A cheap repair on a failing board can cost you twice, so we will tell you when replacement is the more sensible spend.

When repair is usually possible

Where the electronics are healthy and the fault is physical, repair is often the better value option: a split casing, a blade that has worked loose, worn or sticking buttons, or flat and corroded battery contacts.

When replacement is more appropriate

If the circuit board is cracked, water damaged or no longer transmitting, or the transponder itself has failed, a repair tends to be a short-lived fix. In those cases we will recommend a replacement key rather than charging you twice.

Ruling out the vehicle

Sometimes the key is fine and the vehicle is at fault, for example a weak receiver or a battery issue. Because we assess the key and the vehicle together, you are not left replacing a key that was never the problem.
