Q: Can you repair an Abarth 595 flip-key housing without replacing the whole key?

Yes — 595 flip-key housing replacement is the most common Abarth repair. When only the shell has cracked, I replace the housing and reprogram via Stellantis OBD. Significantly cheaper than a full key replacement and completed the same day.

Q: Is Abarth key programming the same as Fiat?

Yes — Abarth and Fiat 500 share identical IMMO architecture. The same Stellantis OBD equipment covers both brands. A 595 Competizione and a Fiat 500 of the same year use identical key programming protocols.

Q: Do you cover the Abarth 500e EV?

Yes — 500e EV uses Stellantis platform identical to the Fiat 500 MK2 EV. Key programming follows the same process as the petrol 595. No EV complexity or additional cost.

Q: Do you cover Abarth 695 Tributo and all 695 variants?

Yes — all 695 variants (Tributo Ferrari, Rivale, Biposto, 70th Anniversario) use the same Fiat 500 Stellantis IMMO. No year limits. AKL, spare key and flip-key repair all covered.

Q: Can I get a spare Abarth key made for a track day?

Yes — a spare key programmed alongside your existing working key takes 20–35 minutes at your home address. A spare key is the best insurance against key loss at a circuit or performance event.

Q: Is there a year limit on Abarth key services?

No year limits on any Abarth model — all 595 and 695 generations fully covered. 500e EV equally covered from launch year.

Stellantis OBD equipment covers the complete Abarth range — 595, 595 Competizione, 695 Tributo and 500e EV. Abarth uses the same Fiat 500 platform and identical IMMO to Fiat. No year limits. 595 flip-key repair, 695 lost keys or 500e EV spare key at your location.

Abarth Key Services — Fiat 500 Platform, Performance Badge, Identical IMMO

Abarth is Fiat’s performance sub-brand, producing high-specification derivatives of the Fiat 500. The Abarth 595, 595 Competizione, 695 Tributo and all current Abarth models are built on the identical Fiat 500 platform and use exactly the same Stellantis IMMO architecture. Stellantis OBD equipment covers every Abarth model using the same module as Fiat — there is no Abarth-specific IMMO restriction and no year limits. A 595 Competizione and a standard Fiat 500 of the same year use identical key programming protocols. The scorpion badge and the performance modifications don’t alter the IMMO system in any way. Thatcham Research rates Abarth security as part of their Stellantis assessments.

Abarth 595 flip-key shell failure is the most common Abarth repair request — and it is identical in cause and fix to the Fiat 500 flip-key repair that is the most common Fiat job. The 595 uses the same distinctive flip-key housing as the Fiat 500. The housing cracks at the pivot hinge under keyring weight or drop stress while the internal transponder chip and remote circuit remain entirely functional. I carry replacement housings for Abarth/Fiat 500 flip-key profiles and complete the repair with Stellantis OBD reprogramming in 20–30 minutes at your location. This is significantly cheaper than ordering a full replacement key through a dealer — and it is available the same day.

The Abarth 500e EV — the electric Abarth launched in 2023 — uses the Stellantis platform identical to the Fiat 500 MK2 EV. Key programming on the 500e EV follows the same Stellantis OBD process as the petrol 595. No EV complexity, no EV year limit and no EV surcharge. For Abarth owners specifically: the performance demographic tends towards owners who drive their cars enthusiastically and value rapid solutions. Adding a spare key before a track day, a weekend at the Ring or a long drive south is a common proactive request that I handle in 20–35 minutes at your home address.

⚠ Security Advice

Abarth 595 and 695 models with keyless entry on higher specifications share the Fiat 500 relay theft risk profile. Faraday bag storage recommended. Performance models in urban areas are also a target for opportunistic theft given their desirability — a visible steering wheel lock adds a secondary deterrent.

Pricing

Abarth Key Replacement Pricing

🔊

What Affects the Price

Abarth pricing is the same as equivalent Fiat 500 jobs — the platform and IMMO are identical. 595 flip-key shell repair is the lowest-cost Abarth job. 695 AKL is more involved. 500e EV priced identically to petrol 595. Call with your model and year.

Price Before I Travel

I give a price when you call — before I set off. What I quote is what you pay. No additional charges on arrival.

🔜

vs Abarth Dealer

Abarth dealers (often shared with Fiat) charge £180–£340+ for key replacement. Stellantis OBD equipment provides the same Fiat 500 platform access at your location — and the 595 flip-key shell repair avoids the full replacement cost entirely.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Rapid Lock Services - Auto Locksmith.

I recently lost the key to my Toyota Aygo while out walking, and we also had an issue with our Renault Trafic key when the battery burned out and damaged the key. Kam was extremely helpful from the start, providing excellent advice and explaining all of our options clearly.

His communication was professional and prompt throughout the process. He came out to our house, completed the work efficiently, and made the whole experience stress-free. The pricing was also very reasonable, especially when compared with what the main dealerships would have charged for replacement keys.

Thanks to Kam, we are now back to having two working keys for both vehicles. A reliable, knowledgeable, professional, and fairly priced service that I wouldn't hesitate to use again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was in need of new keys and all auto locksmith were closed. Kam was the only one who responded and arrived within an hour. He provided me with two new keys, and was excellent helpful and respectful. I will only use rapid lock services from now on and recommend to everyone. Would give 10 stars if it was an option! Jazakh’Allah :)
