Fob Problems We Fix

If your fob does any of these, we can help:

  • Lost key fob — replacement supplied and programmed, old fob removed from the car
  • Broken fob case or worn buttons — new fob with working buttons
  • Fob not locking or unlocking — reprogrammed or replaced
  • Keyless entry fob not detected — replacement paired to the car
  • Flat fob battery — battery replaced on the spot where possible

How Fob Replacement Works

Call or WhatsApp 07367 634032 with your car make, model, year and what has happened to the fob. We give you a clear quote, then come to your home, workplace or roadside with the replacement fob and programming equipment.

On arrival we verify ownership with photo ID and the V5C logbook, then cut the emergency blade, program the fob to your car, and test every button and the keyless functions before we leave.

Fob Battery or New Fob?

A dead fob is not always a dead fob — sometimes it is just the battery. If the buttons have grown weak over weeks, a battery swap usually fixes it and we can do that on the spot. If the fob is lost, cracked, or dead after a battery change, you need a replacement fob programmed to the car. Tell us the symptoms when you call and we will advise honestly.

Frequently asked questions

Can you replace a lost key fob without the original?

Yes. In most cases we can supply a new fob and program it to your car even if the original is lost, after verifying ownership.

My key fob buttons have stopped working. Do I need a new fob?

Not always — a flat battery is the most common cause and we can replace it on the spot. If a new battery does not fix it, we can supply and program a replacement fob.

How do I know if my key fob battery is flat?

The usual signs are buttons that only work at very close range, needing several presses to lock or unlock, or the keyless start not detecting the fob. A battery swap fixes most of these — and if it does not, the fob itself may need replacing, which we can also do.

My fob stopped working after I changed the battery. What now?

Some fobs lose their pairing when the battery is removed, or the new battery may not be seated correctly. We can reprogram the fob to your car on site in most cases. Call or WhatsApp 07367 634032 and describe what happened.

Will the old lost fob still work after replacement?

When we program your new fob, the lost fob is removed from the car's memory so it will no longer start or unlock the car. Ask us to do this when you call.

How much does car key replacement cost?

It depends on your car make, model, year and key type. Call or WhatsApp 07367 634032 with your registration and we will give a clear quote before any work begins.

Are you open 24 hours?

Yes. We operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call or WhatsApp 07367 634032 any time.
