Keyless Entry Fobs in Longbridge
Quick answer
Keyless entry changed how we use car keys: no button presses, no ignition slot — the car recognises the fob in your pocket and unlocks when you pull the handle. That convenience makes the fob itself more valuable, and its loss or failure more disruptive. We handle keyless fobs end to end: supply, pairing to the car, and removing old fobs from the vehicle's memory for security.

How Keyless Entry Fobs Work
A keyless entry fob broadcasts a coded signal on a short range. When you touch the door handle, the car challenges the fob; the fob answers with the right code and the doors unlock. The same handshake lets you start the engine with a button press while the fob stays in your pocket or bag.
Because the whole system depends on that coded handshake, a keyless fob can't be swapped like a plain key. The replacement must be the correct type for your car and must be paired to the vehicle's receiver — which is exactly the mobile service we provide.
Keyless Entry Fob Replacement
Replacing a keyless entry fob means sourcing the right fob for your make and model, then pairing it with your car's keyless system. We complete the whole job at your car — there's no need to arrange recovery or visit a dealer, and no need to have the old fob to hand.
If the fob was stolen or is unaccounted for, we recommend removing it from the car's memory at the same time. That way the missing fob can no longer unlock or start the car, even if someone else finds it.
Keyless Car Key Problems We Sort Out
- Lost keyless fobs — replacement supplied, paired, and the missing fob disabled where you want it.
- Dead keyless fobs — battery checked first; if the electronics have failed, a full replacement.
- Fob detected only inside the car — often a weak battery or a failing aerial, which we diagnose.
- Spare keyless fob — a second fob paired while we're at your car, so you're never stranded.
Pairing a Keyless Fob to Your Car
Pairing is the electronic step that registers the new fob with your car's keyless receiver and immobiliser. It's done through the vehicle's diagnostic systems with the fob present, and it must be done correctly — a half-paired keyless fob can leave you locked out.
We test full function before we leave: door handles unlock, push-button start fires, and the car locks again when you walk away. Send your make, model and year on WhatsApp for an exact price confirmed in writing before we travel.
Our price promise
Every job is different — the price depends on your car's make, model, year and the type of key or lock involved. That's why we always confirm your exact price before any work starts: message us on WhatsApp with your registration or VIN and we'll quote you upfront. The price we agree is the price you pay.
