Have you ever lost or damaged your car key remote fob? Or don’t have a replacement car key remote fob? Then you know just how frustrating this can be.
Any modern-day motor vehicle will come equipped with a car key remote or fob. The car key remote may also house a key in the same unit. The remote will contain a series of buttons to lock and unlock the doors of the car, alongside arming and disarming the alarm. The built-in key can easily be accessed if required to start the ignition. In many modern vehicles, like the Ford S-Max, the car fob needs to be present inside the vehicle for the driver to be able to start the engine via a button on the dashboard.
So whether you’re a Honda or Ford driver, it’s important to know your options for replacing car key remotes.
Main Dealer
At the main dealer, you’ll likely be looking at paying between £100-£400 for a new car key fob. However, we have heard stories of certain dealers asking for nearly £800 for some cars; ouch! From experience and feedback from drivers, The main dealers are never the cheapest option.
Price is also one factor to consider when going direct to the main dealer. The second factor is time. How long will it take to replace a car key remote or fob? Always insist on a realistic timescale when enquiring about the cost of a replacement car key remote.
Buy a remote car key fob online
The first thing you’ll need to do is locate the old remote. You may find an online service where you send in your old car fob, which they use to replicate a new one and send it back.
If your remote is missing, it was most likely lost or stolen. If you don’t have a spare fob or replacement car key, you will need to buy a replacement car remote or, at the very least, a replacement car key.
There are plenty of places online to buy a car key fob and a blank key unit. However, buying a car remote replacement key online may not be enough. All car key remotes or car fobs require programming to work with your specific car model. In addition, all car fobs contain a chip which needs to be programmed for you to be able to start the ignition.
Independent auto locksmith
If you’re looking to save a bit of money, okay, a lot of money compared to main dealers, then consider asking an independent car locksmith for a quote. For example, you could save hundreds of pounds on replacement car key remotes by contacting an independent car locksmith like Autopricelocksmiths.co.uk.
