Airbag Replacement & Sourcing
Deployed or faulty airbags replaced with genuine parts. We source the right airbags for your vehicle, fit them and clear the system.
Once an airbag has deployed it cannot be reused, and every deployed airbag has to be replaced before the system will work again. Finding the right parts can be the hardest part of the job: airbags are specific to the model, the trim and often the interior colour.
We source the parts for you
Tell us the vehicle and VIN and we source the correct airbags and SRS parts for it. We fit new genuine parts only. We do not fit second-hand airbags, because their history cannot be verified and manufacturers advise against reusing them.
Airbags we replace
- Steering wheel (driver) airbags
- Passenger dashboard airbags
- Side, seat and curtain airbags
- Knee airbags
- The steering wheel clock spring when it is damaged with the airbag
Completing the job properly
Replacing airbags on their own is rarely enough. After a deployment we also:
- Replace fired seat belt pretensioners and damaged impact sensors
- Reset the airbag module to clear its crash data, or replace and code a new module
- Run a full SRS scan to confirm the system is clear and the airbag light goes out
- Provide a before-and-after report for the insurer or repairer
What affects airbag replacement cost?
Every airbag job is priced on the vehicle, because the parts and labour vary a lot between models. The main things that set the price are:
- How many airbags deployed, and which ones. Curtain and dashboard airbags take more labour than a steering wheel airbag.
- The price of the genuine parts for your make and model
- Whether the airbag module can be reset or has to be replaced and programmed
- Fired seat belt pretensioners and damaged sensors that also need replacing
- Dashboard, headlining or trim damage caused by the deployment
Send us the vehicle details, the VIN and what deployed, and we will price the full SRS repair before any work starts. In an insured repair, our report shows the insurer exactly what was replaced.
For repairers and insurers
We work alongside panel shops so the SRS side of a repair is done once and done correctly, with documentation. See all our airbag and SRS services.
Airbag Replacement & Sourcing: common questions
How much does airbag replacement cost?
It depends on the vehicle, how many airbags deployed and whether the module can be reset. Send us the VIN and what deployed and we will give you a full price for the SRS repair before we start.
Can a deployed airbag be reused or repaired?
No. A deployed airbag is a one-shot part and has to be replaced. The airbag module, by contrast, can usually be reset rather than replaced.
Do you fit second-hand airbags?
No. We fit new genuine airbags only, because the history of a used airbag cannot be verified and manufacturers advise against reusing them.
Do I need to replace anything else after the airbags go off?
Usually yes: fired seat belt pretensioners, any damaged sensors, and the airbag module needs a reset or replacement. The SRS system is then scanned to confirm it is clear.
Do you provide reports for insurance claims?
Yes. Every job includes a before-and-after SRS scan report showing the faults found, the parts replaced and a clear system at the end.
