We assess the key damage and recommend repair vs. replacement honestly and transparently.

BMW, Ford, Audi, VW, Mercedes, Vauxhall — we repair and replace for all common vehicles.
Types of Car Key Damage We Repair in Chorlton
Worn or thin key blade
A blade worn smooth may no longer turn in the ignition reliably. We cut a fresh blade to the correct profile before it snaps.
Cracked or broken key shell
The outer casing of modern car keys cracks with use. We fit a replacement shell around your existing electronics.
Non-responsive fob buttons
Worn button contacts stop working before the fob itself fails. We repair or replace the internal components.
Key lost transponder programming
Sometimes after a fault the key no longer starts the car. We reprogram the transponder chip on-site.
Loose or rattling key
Internal key blade play usually means a worn pivot. We repair or supply a replacement key shell with a new blade.

Car Key Repair Chorlton — FAQs
What types of car key damage can you repair in Chorlton?+
We repair worn or thin key blades (by cutting a fresh blade), cracked or broken key shells (by transferring electronics to a new shell), malfunctioning remote fobs (button contacts, circuit boards), and transponder keys that have lost programming.
Is it better to repair or replace a damaged car key?+
We always assess first and recommend the most cost-effective option. If the key blade is worn but the electronics are fine, a new blade is cheaper than a full replacement. If the electronics are damaged, a new key is often more economical.
Can you replace just the key shell without replacing the electronics?+
Yes. Many modern car keys have a replaceable outer shell. We transfer your existing transponder chip and fob circuit board into a new shell, restoring the key appearance and function at much lower cost than a full replacement.
My key is starting to feel loose or wobbly — should I get it repaired?+
Yes, sooner rather than later. A worn key that feels loose is at risk of snapping inside the lock or ignition — which is a much more expensive repair. Call us for a new key blade before it fails completely.
How much does car key repair cost in Chorlton?+
Pricing varies depending on the type of repair. A new blade cut is relatively inexpensive; shell replacement and fob repair cost more. We always quote before starting. Call 07388 789881 for an estimate.
