How to Repair a Broken Car Key

How to Repair a Broken Car Key

Depending on the extent of damage to your car key, there is a chance that it is fixable. If the actual metal piece of the key itself is broken your key cannot be fixed. If the key fob to your car is broken you can have it looked at and repaired by your vehicles dealership if the problem isnt too severe. To find out if your key is fixable, contact your vehicles dealership.

Instructions

    1

    Call your vehicles dealership. Give the dealership the make, model and year of your vehicle and tell them your key is broken and in need of repair.

    2

    Explain the issue in full detail to the mechanic at the dealership. The more information you are able to give the mechanic the better. The mechanic might have some do-it-yourself solutions for you to try on your key depending on what you tell her about the problem your key is having.

    3

    Try all of the solutions given to you by the mechanic. If one works you wont need to take your key to the dealership for repair. If nothing works, schedule an appointment to have your key looked at.

    4

    Take your key to the dealership. From this point, the dealership mechanics will dictate your course of action. Your key may simply need a new battery and youll be able to return home immediately. If your problem is more severe and your keys wont be repaired the same day you might be without a car, or your dealer might issue a loaner vehicle to you. It all depends on your keys issue and your dealerships policies.
