OK I am going to bypass a certain auction site and set up a repair page on my site for keyfobs and link to it.
I want to know what people consider as fair prices.
1) Replace 3 switches on the three button fob
2) Replace 2 switches on the 2 button fobs (a lot fiddlier than 3 button)
3) Refit a battery holder (clear out solder fit brass wire then solder battery holder to the wire)
4) Suitable discounts for OOF members.
5) Should I ask at ABS?
6) Should I do VVOC ect?
Thanks :y

Based on Entwood's excellent reply I would only suggest a slight ammendment by keeping the postage in a set price to give a clear all inclusive 'Price List'. ;)
If you want to add the postage on Martin to cover your costs and make a sensible profit then just add a straight £1 to each price point. :y :y Of course each price should be calculated on your labour v. time at £XX per hour to reach a sensible working wage! 8-) 8-)

had my remote repaired by Martin, recieved last week in post (Via certain auction site).
Very happy , like having brand new remote.
I have also sent my spare for the same job.
All i can say about pricing is, i don't mind paying a decent price for a decent job. ;D ;D ;D ;D
You don't want it to become a hassle for repairing them.
I bet everybody with a 3 button remote will want you to repair it at some point.

OK for my page I need to identify which fob is used in which car.
2 button as used in mini facelifts, and facelift estates
3 button facelifts
Which other Vauxhall models have which model of fob?
Thanks

Corsa C has mostly this style :
(http://i13.ebayimg.com/01/i/000/f0/57/f250_2.JPG)
It uses the same switches as the Omega 3 button facelift and fails in the same way.

Looks similar to the Meriva one as well (but then Meriva is bits of Corsa and Astra IIRC!)

1996 ones were the seperate fob type, not sure if same switches (but mega reliable anyway, as are the prefacelift ones). Battery holders are weak point.

The mini facelift fobs are now starting to break same problem as the facelifts switches jamming up with gunge

Do you replace the rubber cover or just refurbish it ?

I have a couple of spare covers, but usually try to repair, quite often a bit of carefull gluing works well
