About this service
If your key is bent, cracked, or the buttons on the remote casing have stopped clicking, you need a repair. We examine the internal components and the physical blade to see if the key can be salvaged or if the housing needs replacement. This is common when a key has been dropped or worn down over time. We evaluate the damage to determine if a simple fix restores function or if a new key is necessary.
