Don’t force a damaged key
If the blade is bent or the key feels loose, avoid forcing it in the lock. It can snap or damage the lock.

Broken and damaged car keys
Cracked key case, snapped blade or unreliable buttons? Send a photo and your vehicle details. I’ll assess whether a repair, new case or replacement key is the right option.
How the service works
Send me a photo
Send both sides of the key and any damage. Let me know whether it still starts the car and whether the buttons work.
Repair or replacement?
If the electronics still work, a new case may be enough. I’ll check whether a repair or a replacement is the better option.
