About SherlockLock key fob shell replacement
SherlockLock reviews key fob shell replacement requests in Boston and Greater Boston. Worn or broken housing, buttons and blade-retaining points need to be assessed against the exact fob design before a replacement can be confirmed.
A shell and the electronics inside it perform different roles. If the remote or starting functions have stopped working, include that in the request rather than assuming a new case will solve it. Send the vehicle details and fob photos so our team can review fit, condition, availability and price.
