Can a Broken Car Key Be Repaired?

Often yes. Cracked shells, failed buttons and snapped blades can frequently be repaired while retaining the existing electronics.

Repairs that usually work

Split cases, perished rubber buttons and worn or snapped blades are routine. The transponder and circuit board are transferred into a replacement shell and the new blade cut to the vehicle.

When a new key makes more sense

Water damage and heavy corrosion on the board tend to be terminal. If the electronics are beyond saving, a new key programmed to the car is the practical route.
