Replace a cracked, drowned or dead key fob — same day
Fobs live in pockets, gym bags and washing machines. When one finally gives up, the dealership orders a part; we carry it and code it in your driveway.
About key fob replacement in Austin
We stock genuine OEM fobs where they are the right call and high-grade aftermarket units where they perform identically for a fraction of the cost. You are told which is which and priced accordingly — no silent substitutions.
Water damage is the most common failure we see in Austin, usually after Barton Springs or a lake weekend. Once the board corrodes, a shell swap will not save it. We will test the original honestly and only sell you a new unit if the old one cannot be revived.
Every replacement fob is paired to your vehicle, tested on lock, unlock, panic, trunk and remote start where applicable, and supplied with a fresh battery. If your car allows it, we also deregister the fob you lost.
What's included
- OEM and tested aftermarket options, priced transparently
- Fresh battery and functional test included
- Shell-only swap offered when the electronics are healthy
- Remote start and power-liftgate functions verified
- Lost fobs deregistered from the vehicle

Key Fob Replacement questions, answered
Is an aftermarket fob as good as OEM?
For most Japanese and domestic vehicles, yes — we only stock brands we warranty. For some European models only OEM is reliable, and we will tell you that upfront.
My fob got wet — can it be saved?
Sometimes. We test the board on-site before recommending replacement.
Can you keep my existing fob working too?
Yes, as long as it still functions we add the new one alongside it.
