Command key repairs, are they worth it?

At AFR Locksmiths we totally discourage the electronic repair of a damaged key (of the electronic circuit itself), not the wear and tear of your key case, as this is worth repairing.

The interior of its control is composed of several electronic components; resistors, capacitors, coils, microprocessors, buttons and a long etcetera. Whether by daily use, by blows or simply by the limited life of some components (known as programmed obsolescence) make us totally discourage the repair of your car’s control keys.

We basically advise against it because when a circuit is reaching the end of its useful life and, for example, a button is repaired, it will not be long before a resistor, or a coil etc… is damaged and it will take all the time to repair your car key. Many times the person who repairs the key thinking of taking advantage of it economically, will not advise a new key for his vehicle, because the benefit is much greater when a customer comes constantly to repair a key, because the electronic components themselves that replace it have a ridiculous cost for the professional.

Many brands such as Peugeot, Citroen and Renault have poorly designed control keys; flimsy housings that soon open, or the spring for extracting the sprat loses strength, the wear and tear on the rubber… That is why at AFR Locksmiths we have new control keys with a durable design for these cases, offering aesthetically better and durable control keys, so that any customer will be satisfied.

Don’t just “fix” a key that’s no longer useful and get your new car key with AFR locksmiths!
