How the repair works

1

Diagnosis & damage assessment

Bring your defective car key or describe the issue with your vehicle lock. Our technicians perform a thorough diagnosis: Is it a mechanical issue, an electronics problem, or simply a dead battery? We identify the cause and provide a transparent quote.

2

Cost estimate & consultation

After diagnosis, we inform you about the repair costs. A repair is often cheaper than buying new. We show you all options – from a simple battery replacement and housing swap to replacing defective components.

3

Repair execution

Once you approve, we perform the repair. Depending on the issue, we replace the housing, repair buttons, change the battery or fix electronic components. For lock repairs, we remove the defective part, repair or replace it, and reinstall it professionally.

4

Testing & quality control

After the repair, we thoroughly test all functions. For car keys we check: Do all buttons work? Is the remote range OK? For locks: Does the key turn smoothly? Only after a successful quality check do we hand over your repaired key or your vehicle.
