What affects the price
Every car key job is different. These are the factors that shape your quote — the exact price is confirmed with you on call or WhatsApp before any work starts.
| Price factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Type of damage | A button or battery fix is small; a snapped blade or crushed case is bigger. |
| Parts needed | Replacement buttons, cases and blades vary in cost by key model. |
| Repair vs replace | We will tell you straight if a repair would be false economy versus a new key. |
| Programming untouched | Repairs do not affect the chip, so no reprogramming cost is added. |
Car brands we work with
We cut and program keys for most popular makes on Dubai roads. Open your brand’s page for key-type details — then send your exact make, model and year on WhatsApp and we will confirm coverage for your car before you commit to anything.
What car key problems can be repaired?
Worn or dead buttons, cracked or broken cases, tired batteries and worn blades are all routinely repairable.
Buttons wear out from thousands of presses — new button pads restore them. Cases crack from drops; replacement shells make the fob solid again. A worn blade that struggles in the lock can often be refreshed or replaced.
What cannot be repaired is a fried circuit board or a chip that has failed. We diagnose before quoting, so you never pay for a repair that cannot work.
Is it better to repair or replace my car key?
Repair when the electronics are healthy; replace when they are not.
If the chip and board work and only the buttons, case or blade are damaged, repair is the sensible, economical choice. The key keeps its programming and you keep your money.
If the board is corroded, the chip is dead, or the case has been repaired before and failed again, a new key is the honest recommendation. We will explain which camp your key falls into before you decide.
Will a repaired key last?
A proper repair with the right parts lasts — a bodge does not, which is why we assess first.
New button pads, proper replacement shells and correctly fitted blades hold up to daily use. What fails is glue-and-hope fixes, which is not how we work.
If we do not believe a repair will last on your particular key, we will say so and quote the replacement instead. You decide with the full picture.
Frequently asked questions
How much does car key repair cost in Dubai?
It depends on the damage and the parts needed — a button fix costs less than a blade replacement. Send a photo of the damage on WhatsApp for an exact quote.
Can you fix a key that went through the washing machine?
Sometimes. Water damage is unpredictable — if the board is corroded it may be beyond repair. Bring it in and we will assess it honestly; you only pay if a repair is viable.
My key blade is bent. Can you straighten it?
A slightly bent blade can sometimes be corrected, but a weakened blade may snap in the lock. We will assess it and recommend a new blade if straightening is risky.
Will repairing my key erase its programming?
No. Button, case, blade and battery repairs do not touch the chip, so your key keeps working with your car exactly as before.
How long does a key repair take?
Most repairs are done while you wait, once we have assessed the damage. Tell us what is wrong and we will give you a realistic estimate.
Do you repair smart keys and keyless fobs?
Yes, where the damage is repairable — buttons, cases and batteries on smart fobs are common fixes. If the smart electronics have failed, we will quote a replacement instead.
