Car key battery replacement & refurbishment

  • 1. How do I know if my car key battery needs replacing?

    Common signs include reduced range, intermittent unlocking, or warning messages on the dashboard.

  • 2. How long does a car key battery replacement take?

    Often just a few minutes once the correct battery is identified.

  • 3. Can you refurbish worn or damaged car keys?

    Yes — if the casing or buttons are worn, refurbishment can improve both appearance and usability.

  • 4. Do I need the car with me?

    Usually not for battery replacement or refurbishment. It may be needed if we are cutting you a new key however, but we’ll advise if it’s required. 

  • 5. How long does car key cutting take?

    Times vary depending on the key and vehicle. We’ll give you an accurate estimate once we know the details.

Quick Notes

  • If your key is very worn or corroded we’ll recommend refurbishing to protect the electronics and improve longevity.

  • Some vehicles require vehicle presence or specific security steps — if so we’ll explain the process and timing before work starts.
