Key Case Replacement in North Devon
Restore the Look and Function of Your Key — Without the Cost of a Full Replacement
Over time, your car key case can crack, wear out, or fall apart — especially if it’s dropped or exposed to the elements.
At Key Smart Car Keys, we offer professional key case replacement services that make your key look and feel like new, without replacing the electronics or reprogramming the key.
We serve Bideford, Barnstaple, Torrington, South Molton, Ilfracombe, Appledore, and surrounding North Devon areas — bringing quick, affordable, and mobile key shell replacements right to your door.
Our Key Case Replacement Process
-
Inspection – We assess your current key to ensure internal components are functional.
-
Disassembly – We safely open the old key case and remove the internal circuit and blade.
-
Replacement – We fit these components into a new, high-quality key shell.
-
Testing – Finally, we test all buttons, folding mechanisms, and key operation to ensure everything works perfectly.
You’ll have a fully functional and fresh-looking key without the cost of reprogramming or dealership delays.
Why Replace Your Key Case?
A worn or damaged key case can cause more than just cosmetic problems.
It can affect how your buttons work, make the key hard to turn, or even expose the circuit board to moisture and dirt.
Common issues we fix include:
-
Broken or cracked key shells
-
Loose or missing buttons
-
Key blade detached from fob
-
Worn-out rubber pads or seals
-
Damaged flip or folding mechanisms
-
Faded or missing logos
Instead of buying a completely new key, we transfer your internal components (chip, transponder, and blade) into a brand-new, durable case — saving you money while restoring your key’s performance and appearance.

Frequently Asked Question
Can you replace my key case without reprogramming the key?
Yes. In most cases, we only transfer your existing electronics and transponder chip into a new case — meaning no reprogramming is needed. Your key will function exactly as before, just with a fresh new look.
What if my key blade or buttons are also damaged?
No problem. We can replace damaged blades, repair button pads, or even provide a full replacement shell with a new folding mechanism if needed — all done on-site.
Do you offer key case replacement for all car makes and models?
We cover most major vehicle brands, including Ford, Vauxhall, Volkswagen, BMW, Toyota, Nissan, Kia, Hyundai, Skoda, Peugeot, and many more. If your key type isn’t listed, we’ll find or order a compatible shell for you.
How long does the replacement process take?
Our mobile technicians can typically replace your key case within 15–30 minutes, depending on the key type and condition. No waiting days for a dealership appointment.
Is the new key case as durable as the original?
Yes. We use high-quality, long-lasting key shells designed to match or exceed OEM durability. Your new case will look professional and stand up to everyday use for years to come.
