Mercedes-Benz models we cover
Mercedes-Benz key types and prices

How the Mercedes-Benz immobiliser works
FBS3 on older models, where a key file can be calculated and written, and FBS4 from roughly 2014 onwards, which is materially harder and on many models effectively main-dealer territory for all-keys-lost.
Can you cut a Mercedes-Benz key with none left?
FBS3 is usually workable. FBS4 all-keys-lost frequently is not, at any independent — we will tell you that on the phone rather than after arriving.
What usually goes wrong on a Mercedes-Benz
- Chrome key fobs cracking and losing button contact
- Sprinter and Vito locks damaged during break-in attempts
- Worn ignition on older Vito vans
What you will need
We verify ownership on every job without exception. It is mildly inconvenient once, and it is the reason nobody else can have a key cut to your Mercedes-Benz.
