Frequently asked in Chico
How do I get a new car key fob?
What's the difference between a key fob and a key fob cover?
A key fob is the electronic device that operates your car's locks and ignition. A key fob cover is simply a protective case for that fob. It doesn't change the fob's function, but it can add style or protect it from damage. If your fob itself is broken, you'll need a replacement fob, not just a cover.
