How much to repair key fob buttons?

Jolly_Roger

Both sets of keys for my Toyota Yaris now have non-functioning open/shut door buttons.


On one, an entire button has come away, although the other button works.


On the other key, neither button now works.


If I go into a local garage, approximately how much should I expect to pay for a repair? The key itself opens and closes the door without problem.

Look on Ebay, I got 2 keycards for my Renaught for £100, first quote was £300

Check out Timpsin shoe repairers, they advertise replacement fobs.

Is it just the battery


does it need resetting, you can usually find how to that with an online search

A replacement programmable fob is very expensive.


If you're in the AA you may find that they'll give a replacement if you lose one; I did this a couple of years ago.


If it's only the buttons/plastic that need replacing, you may well be able to get replacement parts on ebay; I've got a Toyota fob with a rubberised loop/band to attach it to my keyring and I've had to replace that a couple of times.

I had to buy a replacement fob off ebay for about £30 then got to Citroen for them to programme the new fob for another £60

Dependent on age, you can buy a replacement fob as above, take it apart, and put the blade of your key in it. Then, in my 2004 Celica, there was a 'pedal dance' and maybe on/off with the ignition, to get the fob matched up with the alarm and immobiliser. I had to buy a few fobs before I ended up with exactly the right version number that would talk to the car.

Timpsons do them for certain makes/models for about £50 or so.

Just use the key in the driver's door when you leave the car and vice versa when you return.
It locks and unlocks all the doors.
Now that has to be moneysaving.

I'd be using someone off ebay to do it. Send one key at a time.
