About this service
Modern vehicles often use electronic fobs instead of traditional metal keys. If your fob is damaged, lost, or has a dead battery, you will need a professional to pair a new one to your car’s computer. This is common for newer vehicle models that rely on push-to-start ignitions. Costs fluctuate depending on the specific technology required for your car. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
