Are you looking for a car key repair service in Lincoln? Every day, we see car keys that have seen much better days, with various problems.
In this article we aim to show you a few of the problems we can fix, and give you some examples of actual keys we have fixed and the costs involved.
Let’s look at some of the problems that car keys have.
Loose and wobbly key blades
With any key blade that flips in and out, there’s going to be problems. Because the moving parts include a button, a spring and the rest of the mechanism, things break. This leads to the blade flopping about, or not working correctly.
Broken key blades
Since 2010, we’ve started to see key blades that break away from the key. We believe this is because the metal used in the key is not strong enough. The most common keys that this affects are the VAG group, VW, Seat, Skoda and Audi and Also Vauxhall keys.
The above photo shows the broken blade holder and explains why the blade falls away from the key.
Key buttons that break
When you press your key button, you are actually pressing on a rubber or plastic pad that protects the delicate electronics.
With some keys, including Vauxhall flip keys, these pads come away from the key and expose the electronic circuit board. It is very important that you fix this as soon as possible, before water gets into the electronics. Otherwise, the key will be ruined and it may not start the car.
