We use OEM-quality parts and follow manufacturer programming protocols to ensure complete compatibility. Your car’s security system will recognize the new fob as an authorized device with full access to all features.
If any function doesn’t work properly after programming, we’ll diagnose and correct the issue at no additional charge. We don’t consider the job complete until everything works perfectly.
Often a simple battery replacement fixes key fob problems. We carry replacement batteries for all common fob types and can swap them quickly at your location for $15-25.
If your fob still doesn’t work after a fresh battery, the issue is usually internal circuitry damage, water damage, or worn buttons. In these cases, complete key fob replacement is the most reliable solution.
We’ll always check the battery first before recommending more expensive options. Many Aldan customers are surprised how often a $20 battery replacement solves what they thought was a major key fob failure.
