The Risk of DIY
Modern car keys are sealed tight to be water-resistant. Prying them open with a butter knife or screwdriver often leads to:
- ❌ Broken plastic clips (shell won't close)
- ❌ Damaged circuit board (key stops working)
- ❌ Lost buttons or springs
A new key can cost $200 - $400. Don't risk it to save a few dollars.

Common Questions
How do I know if my battery is low?
Most modern cars will display a "Key Battery Low" message on the dashboard. You might also notice the remote range decreasing (you have to be closer to the car to unlock it), or the buttons requiring multiple presses to work.
Can I just buy a battery at the grocery store?
You can, but be careful. Cheap batteries often have a shorter lifespan or sit on shelves for years. We use fresh, professional-grade lithium cells. Plus, we ensure the key is opened and resealed correctly to maintain water resistance.
Do you sell batteries for all cars?
Yes! We stock CR2032, CR2025, CR2016, CR1620, and many other specialized sizes for Honda, Toyota, Ford, Nissan, BMW, Mercedes, and more.
