Car Key Fobs & Remotes in Longbridge

What Counts as a Car Key Fob?

The fob is the plastic housing that holds your key's electronics: the remote circuit board, the buttons, the battery and — in most cases — the transponder chip that starts the car. Some drivers use a separate remote on a ring alongside a plain key; others have a single flip key or a keyless smart key where everything is built into one unit.

Because the fob is both the physical hardware and the electronics, problems range from purely cosmetic to fully electronic. A cracked shell with working electronics is a very different job from a fob whose circuit board is dead — and we always check which one you're dealing with before suggesting anything.

Keyless Entry Fob Replacement

Keyless entry fobs let you unlock and start the car without pressing a button — the car senses the fob nearby and does the rest. When a keyless fob is lost or stops responding, a replacement must be the correct type for your car and then paired to its receiver system.

We supply and pair replacement keyless entry fobs at your car, and we can also disable a lost fob from the vehicle's memory so it can no longer open or start it. If your fob is intermittent rather than dead, read our battery replacement and fob repair guides first — the fix may be simpler than a full replacement.

Car Remote Key Replacement

A full remote key replacement covers all three parts of the job: the blade cut to fit your locks, the transponder chip coded to your immobiliser, and the remote buttons paired to your central locking. We complete all three at your location, so you drive away with a remote that works exactly like the original.

You don't need to bring the car to us or recover the old remote first. In most cases we build and pair the replacement entirely from the vehicle, including cars where every key has been lost.

How Much Is a New Car Key?

There's no single price for a new car key: it depends on your make and model, whether it's a basic transponder key or a keyless smart fob, and whether all keys are lost. Anyone quoting a fixed figure before knowing your car is guessing.

Our approach is straightforward — send us your registration or make, model and year on WhatsApp, and we confirm your exact price in writing before any work starts. That price covers cutting, coding and pairing, so the figure you approve is the figure you pay.
