A car key that stops working is frustrating, but it rarely means you need a new one. The chip inside is often still intact. What is broken on the outside can usually be repaired or replaced.
What are the most common causes?
The most common situations: a button that no longer responds or stays pressed from wear, a housing that has cracked or broken after a drop, water damage from contact with water or coffee, a flat battery, or a key blade that has snapped off in the ignition. In almost all these cases there is a solution without needing a completely new key.
Repair or a new key?
