Batteries Plus Bulbs Now Offers Affordable Automotive Key Program
Batteries Plus Bulbs expands services now offering key cutting and automotive services to Roanoke residents.
There are over 253 million vehicles in the United States as of 2017. According to a nationwide survey conducted by Batteries Plus Bulbs, the nation’s only battery, light bulb and phone repair franchise, one in 10 people need a new fob each year and 63 percent of consumers have locked themselves out of their car, with one in four not owning a spare car key.
Batteries Plus Bulbs has expanded its automotive services to include car key cutting, key fob programming, and fob shell and battery replacement. Locals now have a one-stop shop for replacing hi-tech car keys for less, in under 15 minutes, with no appointment needed. Consumer Reports says if you lose the key and fob, you can expect dealership replacement and programming to cost $200 or more, depending on the vehicle and the key’s design. At Batteries Plus Bulbs, the cost will be, on average, 50 percent cheaper than dealership prices.
For consumers who value convenience, immediacy, and affordability, this service is important. This new offering is now available at select Virginia Batteries Plus Bulbs stores, including:
