Repair first, replace only if we must.
Key Fob Repair in Essex
A fob that needs three presses, a cracked shell held together with tape or a remote that stopped after a car wash rarely needs a full replacement. Repair is faster and cheaper when it is the right answer.
What this service covers
Common fixes include new membranes and buttons, shell and blade transfers, battery terminal repairs, board cleaning after water ingress and resynchronising the remote to the vehicle.
If the circuit board is beyond saving we supply a replacement fob and move your existing chip or code across, keeping the cost as low as the job allows.
We also fix range problems. If your car only responds from a metre away, the fob's antenna or crystal is usually the culprit, not the battery.
Included as standard
- Button, membrane and shell replacement
- Water-damage board cleaning
- Resync after battery change or flat vehicle battery
- Weak-range diagnosis and repair
- Full fob replacement when repair is not viable

I lost my only Land Cruiser key at the seafront. They cut and programmed a new one at my house in about an hour and deleted the old key from the car. The dealer had quoted three days and double the price.
My smart key stopped being detected. Instead of selling me a new key they diagnosed the transponder, repaired it and charged a fraction of what I expected. Honest work is rare, this was it.
