My brother has a 2013 Chevy spark and the key fob is broken. If you look at the pic you can see the metal key shaft broke off from the rest of the fob. He used to insert the metal shaft and then use the fob to turn it. But lately his car alarm goes off semi regularly after opening his car door and it is very annoying(it could just be that the battery is dead). It would cost $60 for a new fob and about $80 to get someone to reprogram/install it in the car.
At my work a welder could possibly weld it back to the old fob if we could figure out what type of metal the key has and if we can remove the remaining metal portion from the plastic. And if the alarm could be disabled.
Is there a cheaper or better alternative to just getting a new fob?
