Brand-new fob shell + electronics + programming, sourced from our truck.
Key fob replacement is the full-stack version of fob programming. We replace the shell, the electronics (the transmitter board inside), the battery, and pair it to your VIN. This is what you need when your existing fob is physically broken, water-damaged, or so worn the buttons have stopped responding.
Premier carries genuine fob stock for every common make in Delray Beach. We do NOT use aftermarket counterfeit shells - the cheap shells available on certain marketplaces fail within months and the electronics are unreliable. Genuine fobs cost more up-front but last 4 to 8 years instead of 6 to 12 months.
Common Delray call: the fob fell out of a pocket and got run over in a parking garage. The shell cracked, water got into the electronics, the lock / unlock buttons stopped responding. Premier replaces the full fob, including buttons that actuate correctly - in 30 to 60 minutes in your driveway.
Honest, flat-rate pricing quoted before we roll. Service call fee is waived when you book the job.
