One of the keys for my car has failed. Tried changing the battery to no avail. Anyone know what a replacement costs and what it involves? It’s a flip remote key.
Check if you have key cover on your insurance.If the answer is yes call them and ask if a key replacement claim will effect your no claim discount.
Dropped my keys a few months ago and damaged the remote.They were covered by my insurance replaced them no problem
Been quoted £100 by a mobile locksmith. That’s not a problem as such. I just want to make sure it’s the way to go. I have no idea what to expect in terms of what they do. No point in putting it through insurance as it’s cheaper than the excess.
£100 is about going rate as long as it does not need to be programmed to the car ignition(some do and some don’t).
Flipping remote key heck!! I have realised that this post does not really help your situation and, as you are admin on this site, I will take my punishment for my flippant attitude.
Mazda wanted over £300 to replace my fob so I just used it manually. Tried changing the battery again with a higher quality one after getting fed up and it started working.

I'll reiterate,if you have key cover on your policy you don't pay an excess . Don't waste your money.
