new car key

pogle1000 · 22nd June 2016, 10:34

If anyone is interested I have just had my key repaired by automobilelocksmith.co.uk, excellent service, fitted new fob and battery, and it worked first time, no fiddling about, ok it cost £18 all in, but much cheaper than a dealer, I would recomend them to anyone, I found them on ebay.

Hi Peter,
Was that just the case and battery that was changed?

Just wondering what is being offered at £18

Thanks
Chris

No chris,
I presume he also repaired something inside as one of the buttons was not working, its the sort of job I can't do myself, so I wanted an expert to fix it.

replaced the microswitch probably - also for sale on ebay, but at £18 - less hassle I suppose!?

I have used automo.....etc. for four Discovery and Rover 75 keys. New cases and batteries on all. new micro switches on all and repaired/replaced one that had been run over. Brilliant, by return service. £18 a time.
Hope this info is useful to you.
