Q: I lost my original Mercedes key and don’t have a spare. What’s the cost of a replacement?
A: Pricing depends on the year, make, and model of your Merc, plus the type of key (chip, remote, push-to-start, etc.). Best to contact me with the details.
Q: How do I know if my 2007 Mercedes Sprinter key had a chip?
A: If it had a plastic head or was made after 2000, it likely has a chip. Chip keys need to be programmed on-site.
👉 Here are a few common Mercedes key types:
Push-to-start fobs – Must be programmed.
Remote keys – Usually have a chip in the top cover, also need coding.
Metal-only keys – No chip, no coding required.
Q: My 1999 Mercedes E500 key won’t turn and the steering is locked – what now?
A: Could be a worn key, stuck ignition, or broken wafers. No need to panic or replace the whole ignition just yet – I’ll assess and sort it on-site if possible.
