    The damaged cover is opened carefully and all internal components (chip, circuit board, battery, blade) are removed.

  3. Component Transfer

    All internal components are cleaned and transferred to the new housing.

About Our Car Key Cover Replacement Service

Car key covers and fob housings take constant punishment — dropped on hard surfaces, scratched in pockets and bags, and exposed to Dubai's heat. When the plastic shell cracks, buttons fall off, or the key fob becomes difficult to operate, Lock Repair Satwa replaces just the housing without touching the functional components inside.

Our shell replacement service transfers your existing key blade (where applicable), transponder chip and remote circuit board into a new housing that looks and functions like a brand new key. Because the electronics are not disturbed, no reprogramming is required in most cases — the key continues to start your car and operate the remote functions immediately after the shell swap.

We stock key covers for the most popular UAE vehicle brands including Toyota, Nissan, Honda, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Hyundai, Kia, Ford and Chevrolet. For less common models, we can source the correct cover within 1–2 days. We also supply upgraded key covers in carbon fibre, leather-wrapped or metal finishes for customers wanting a premium look.
