Friendly staff. So grateful my key for my car could be repaired. Helped the guy being mobile and it didn't cost me a fortune. Definitely worth giving these guys a call.
Common Car Key Problems We Fix
Car keys experience daily wear and tear, and over time this can cause mechanical or electronic faults. Our engineers regularly assist customers with issues such as:
- Snapped or broken keys
- Bent or worn key blades
- Damaged transponder chips
- Remote buttons no longer responding
- Cracked or worn key casings
- Keys stuck or broken inside locks
If your key has become unreliable or damaged, repairing or replacing it early can prevent a complete failure.
When Should You Replace a Damaged Key?
A damaged key may still work temporarily but can fail without warning. You should consider repair or replacement if:
- Your key feels loose or worn in the ignition
- The remote buttons work intermittently
- The key blade is bent or cracked
- Your key casing is broken or falling apart
Replacing a worn key early is often quicker and cheaper than dealing with a full lockout or ignition issue later.
Repairing vs Replacing Car Keys
In many cases, damaged keys can be repaired rather than completely replaced. For example, worn casings or remote buttons can often be refurbished while keeping the original electronics intact.
However, if the key blade is broken or the internal chip is damaged, a new key may be required. Autolox can cut and program a fully functioning replacement key during the same visit.
Rapid availability, clearly knows his stuff, even had the part in stock. Prompt and professional.

I needed an emergency replacement key for my car and the service was brilliant from start to finish. They responded very quickly, communicated clearly, and were extremely efficient. The new key was sorted in no time and works perfectly. Highly recommend if you need fast, reliable help with car keys!

These guys were recommended to me by my garage as the only company they trust and refer to for ignition issues, and I can see why. Prompt arrival, excellent service, clear and comprehensive advice and a 12 month warranty. The car was not damaged or compromised in any way and they left no mess. Definitely recommend Autolox.
