Is your BMW or Mini key fob failing to start your engine or operate the remote functions? You’ve come to the right place. At keyfobprog.com, we specialize in comprehensive key fob repair services near me, going beyond simple battery replacements to address the root causes of key fob malfunctions.
It’s a common misconception that a dead key fob simply needs a new battery. While battery issues do occur, over 90% of the key fobs we receive for repair have perfectly functional batteries. Our expert service delves deeper, targeting the underlying electronic issues that prevent your key fob from working correctly.
Comprehensive Key Fob Repair Services
We offer a complete key fob repair service, meticulously examining and rectifying the issues that prevent your BMW or Mini key from performing as it should. Our service includes:
- Thorough Diagnosis: We pinpoint the exact cause of your key fob’s failure, whether it’s related to internal components, circuit board issues, or other malfunctions.
- Component-Level Repair: We go beyond simple fixes, replacing faulty components such as push button switches and other critical elements as needed.
- Battery Replacement (If Necessary): While not always the issue, if your key fob battery is indeed the problem, we will replace it with a high-quality equivalent.
- Rigorous Testing: After repair, your key fob undergoes comprehensive testing to ensure it starts your engine, operates the remote functions flawlessly, and synchronizes correctly with your vehicle.
It’s important to note that key fob synchronization issues can sometimes stem from problems within your vehicle itself, such as a malfunctioning FZV antenna amplifier, ignition switch, K/I-bus issues, or general module faults. While we specialize in key fob repair, we recommend consulting a qualified BMW or Mini technician to diagnose and address these potential vehicle-side problems if your key continues to malfunction after our repair service.
Transparent and Fair Pricing for Key Fob Repair
Our pricing is straightforward and reflects the complexity of key fob repairs beyond basic battery swaps.
For key fobs that have never been opened, our repair service is $60, which includes return shipping within the US ($75 for international customers). This price covers the repair of remote functionality issues and ensures your key is returned to working order.
If your key fob has been previously opened, a $15 surcharge applies due to the increased complexity and potential for damage. Furthermore, if a previously opened key fob has a damaged battery, an additional $10 fee will be added to cover the cost of replacement and the extra labor involved. These surcharges are in place because previously tampered-with key fobs often present additional challenges and require more extensive repair work. We’ve seen a wide range of key fob conditions (key fob wall of shame), and our pricing structure is designed to be fair and transparent based on the condition and complexity of each repair.
If you have previously purchased a VL2020 battery from us on eBay (username BMWGM5) and it remains unused, you can send it back with your key fob and deduct $8 from the repair cost.
