At the moment my mind is boggling around the estimate to replace my vehicle key fob. The replacement has to be done by a dealership or locksmith. You can buy a key fob and have it programmed by dealership or locksmith. There are varying reviews about the success of having that done. Best case is to have the dealership do the replacement.
The estimated cost to replace my vehicle key fob at a Volkswagen dealership is $449.00 US dollars. Yes, four-hundred and forty US dollars. 😱
$180.00 for the key fob, $180.00 to program the key fob plus $80.00 per hour labor. I said no, that is too expensive.
I haven’t called a locksmith yet to learn the cost of a new fob being programed.
My key fob works, no problem there. The spring mechanism that holds the blade sprung, separates blade from the fob. I can glue it in or fix the spring myself by watching a YouTube tutorial. Yes, a free YouTube tutorial.
$440.00 US dollars for a car key makes zero sense to me.
Suggestion. When you buy a vehicle, insist on 2 keys, and maybe a third.
