Key Repair
Car Key Repair — Fixing Rather Than Replacing
A damaged key doesn't always mean a new one. Where possible, RS Keys repairs damaged or faulty automotive keys rather than replacing them.
Key Repair
The Sensible First Option
Replacement is not always necessary, and it is not always the cheapest route. A key that has a cracked case, a worn blade or failed button contacts may be repairable for a fraction of the cost of a new key.
We'll look at the key honestly and tell you whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your situation — including whether the electronics inside are still sound.
What's Included
- An honest assessment of whether repair is viable
- Repair of damaged casings and worn components where possible
- Blade replacement where the electronics are sound
- Battery replacement and function testing
- Advice on replacement if repair isn't the right answer
- Mobile service across the Isle of Wight

Is This You?
When You Need Key Repair
These are the situations we're called out for most often.
Cracked Or Broken Casing
A split case exposes the electronics to moisture and knocks — worth addressing early.
Worn Or Snapped Blade
If the blade has failed but the transponder is intact, a repair may be possible.
Intermittent Faults
A key that works sometimes and not others often points to a repairable contact issue.
