Fixing Broken Car Keys
Can you fix broken car keys? Yes, in rare cases, car and truck keys can be fixed. However, you probably don't want to try fixing your own broken car keys. A car key that was fixed incorrectly can cause expensive problems. For example, an incorrectly repaired car key can break off inside your vehicle's ignition or door lock, creating a new headache. In addition to fixing your key, you now need to remove the broken pieces from the car's ignition! Luckily, getting a car key fixed or replaced is convenient with Quick Car Keys. We will assess the damage and help you fix the problem quickly. Whether that means repairing your car's keys, or replacing them, we make the process easy and affordable.

"I needed custom keys programmed for my car and couldn't have done it without Josh's expertise. I knew it was a simple task but others wanted an arm and leg for the service. I made an appointment with Josh and I was on my way within 5 minutes. I would definitely return and recommend anyone that needs car key services to Josh at Quick Car Keys."

"Josh is a professional and his service was exemplary. I explained what I had and what I wanted. He was able to program one of my keys transponder to get it working. His pricing was reasonable. He is able to work for himself and be very good at that. I support local businesses and great services.

"I needed a new car key fob programmed and the emergency key cut. Josh's quote was the lowest by far. He was also responsive and concise with communication when I reached out to him to get an estimate. I was charged exactly what he quoted. Great service at a great price. Would 100% reach out to him again if I ever need another key copied."

When Should You Repair your Car Keys?
When does it make sense to repair a broken car key and when does it make more sense just to replace the key?
Car keys undergo stress every day. We are constantly shoving them into our pockets and purses, twisting them in the ignition or dropping them on the floor. It's no wonder we end up with broken car keys, sometimes.
Broken car keys are only becoming more and more common as modern vehicles are coming with sophisticated electronics already in the car keys like remote car starters, push-button-start smart keys and transponders that must be programmed.
If you have a broken car key in the Bay Area or San Joaquin Valley, give us a call, our experienced Mobile Key Specialist already comes to a dealership near you. They can assess whether it makes sense to repair the key or to simply replace it. Luckily, we have the latest equipment and the Factory/OEM parts on hand to replace unrepairable car keys on the spot if we determine that the broken key isn't worth fixing.
Whether you decide to repair your vehicle's keys, or replace them, our prices are affordable. In fact, our prices are so good that we service many Bay Area and San Joaquin Valley dealerships because our prices are lower than the dealer's wholesale costs for Factory/OEM vehicle key replacement parts.
We are happy to help if you have a broken key, but in the future, there are a few things you can do to avoid broken keys. One simple way to avoid broken keys is to limit the number of keys you keep on your key-ring. This prevents extra stress on your key from the all the extra weight. This also has the added benefit of protecting your vehicle's ignition system from damage in addition to protecting your keys from breaking.
Another way to prevent broken car keys is to avoid using your vehicle keys inappropriately. This could mean using your car keys as a tool to pry things open or forcing your key to turn in a lock or ignition that is resisting.
If you have a bent or damaged key, we recommend having the key repaired by a professional before it breaks off inside your ignition, which can create more expensive problems. It's also wise to make duplicates of your keys before they break, so if the worse does happen and you end up with a broken car key, you can still use your vehicle.
