Is your BMW or Mini key fob failing to start your engine or respond to remote commands? It’s a common frustration for owners, but often the issue goes beyond a simple battery replacement. At keyfobprog.com, we specialize in comprehensive Key Fob Repair Services to get you back on the road quickly and affordably. We understand that while battery issues are possible, the majority of key fob problems require expert repair to address underlying electronic or component failures.
Beyond Battery Replacement: Understanding Key Fob Issues
Many assume a non-working key fob solely needs a new battery. However, modern key fobs are complex electronic devices, and various factors can lead to malfunction. These can include:
- Faulty micro-switches: The buttons on your key fob can wear out or break, preventing signal transmission.
- Water damage or physical impact: Accidental spills or drops can damage internal circuitry.
- Component failure: Resistors, capacitors, or other electronic components can degrade over time or due to voltage fluctuations.
- Synchronization problems: While less frequent with physical key fob damage, issues with your car’s immobilizer system or receiver can also prevent key fob communication.
Our key fob repair service is designed to diagnose and fix these and other potential problems, ensuring your key fob reliably starts your car and operates the remote functions.
Our Comprehensive Key Fob Repair Service
We offer a professional key fob repair service that goes beyond simple fixes. Here’s what you can expect:
- Thorough Diagnosis: We carefully examine your key fob to pinpoint the exact cause of the failure.
- Component-Level Repair: We replace faulty components, including micro-switches, resistors, and more, using high-quality parts.
- Battery Replacement (If Necessary): While often not the primary issue, we will replace the battery if it tests weak during our diagnostic process.
- Rigorous Testing: After repair, we thoroughly test your key fob to ensure it functions correctly and will synchronize with your BMW or Mini.
For standard key fob remote repairs on keys that have never been opened, our service fee is $60, which includes return shipping within the US ($75 for international customers). If your key fob has been previously opened, an additional $15 fee applies due to the increased complexity of repair. Keys that have been opened and have damaged original batteries incur an additional $10 fee. This tiered pricing reflects the varying complexity of repairs we encounter. We’ve seen a wide range of key fob conditions, and strive to provide fair and transparent pricing for every repair.
