Nissan keys replacement near me – things to remember before calling a locksmith or dealer

Nissan key replacement near me - Relevant information

Calling an automotive locksmith or a dealer near your location when you need a key replacement is probably the most common thing to do. Based on your location, an automotive locksmith can come to you, or you may choose to tow the car to the dealer.

 

We outline a few points to remember, to help you save some time and money regardless of which option you choose:

  1. First, always ask for a quote. Describe the problem in detail and give the automotive locksmith all the details, even if you think they may not be relevant. Moreover, If the locksmith has all the details, it can speed up the process and make it more cost-effective. Remember to give them your exact location to prevent a long waiting period. It may also affect the price.

  2. In addition, tell the locksmith/dealer if the ignition was changed before, as far as you know. A previous ignition change may result in different keys for the ignition and doors.
  3. Most Nissan models today are equipped with chips or transponders, so make sure you mention the exact year, make and model and ask the locksmith if they have the necessary tools in their truck to code the key. Not all locksmiths have a key coding machine to program those keys.
  4. In addition, it’s important to have the VIN number available as the locksmith may need it.

FAQ Lost Nissan Keys Replacement:

 

Q: Nissan key replacement cost – How much will it cost to replace a Nissan key without the original? What is the average price?

The answer below is a short explanation. For a more detailed explanation and GREAT TIPS on how to save money, please visit our blog post: Car keys replacement cost

Nissan key replacement cost - Estimate

A: In a nutshell, to replace a Nissan key can cost anywhere between $90 and $370. The price you pay depends on several factors:

  1. The type of key
  2. The car’s year of manufacture
  3. The day of the week, the time of day (or night!) & your location
  4. Where you get the key replacement (dealer, automotive locksmith, online, etc.)
  5. Availability of the code to cut a new key
  6. Original ignition or not

The type of key you had and the year the car was manufactured are maybe the most important factors.(chip, intelligent fob, “push to start”, remote, regular “non-transponder” key). The newer the car is, the better security features the key had and therefore you can expect to pay more than $270 for a replacement key. Choose your Nissan model(from the drop-down menu) and type of key you had for a more accurate price and information.

In addition,

it depends on where you get a key replacement. The dealer, automotive locksmith or get it online. Click here to get a more detailed explanation of how to get a replacement key.

The dealer usually charges about 10%-15% less than a locksmith would for the key. However, most chances you will have to tow the car there to program the new key or remote and therefore the total price is usually higher.

Furthermore,

consider that if you are looking to have a locksmith come out and make you a new key outside regular business hours, the price may go up.

Finally,

in case your Nissan ignition cylinder was changed before (usually with older cars), that probably means that the code for the key may not be useful and the key will have to be either cut manually by a locksmith or to change the ignition again which in this case the dealer can’t be of help.

Q: How long does it take to make a replacement key for a 2020 Nissan Altima? I lost my original and have no spare. Do you offer automotive locksmith services for Nissan cars?

Nissan car key coding machine

A: Generally speaking, for a new Nissan key, fob, remote or smart key, the process should take about one to two hours, depending on the year of manufacture and model of the car.

If codes are available, this process is even faster.

Remember, we offer complete automotive locksmith services for all Nissan models including Emergency lockout service, car keys replacement, ignition repair, and more.

Q: Can I get a Nissan key replacement by VIN?

A: That depends on the year of manufacture of your car and the type of key you had.

The VIN gives Nissan dealers or automotive locksmiths the option of accessing the key code on file – i.e., to cut you a replacement key by code which makes the process very fast and easy. There are however two things to consider:

Automotive locksmith is connecting the coding machine to the car's obd to program new keys

  1. For vehicles older than 10 years: Nissan dealers don’t keep a record for vehicles older than 10 years. An automotive locksmith is therefore your only option to get a replacement key.
  2. For vehicles equipped with a transponder system and/or a remote/intelligent key/fob key: Codes are available. However, as coding is required, you will have to either tow the car to the dealer, or have an automotive locksmith come and code the key on site.

Q: How can I know if my Nissan Pathfinder 2009 key had a chip in it? I understand that chip keys need to be programmed?

Spare Nissan key fobs programmed

A: A good rule of thumb is that a key that had a plastic cover at the top and/or the vehicle was manufactured after the year 1998 most likely had a chip in it.

Hence, if you’ve lost your Nissan key and it had a chip in it, the key will have to be programmed/ coded on-site in order to start the car.

An automotive locksmith for Nissan keys replacement can do that on-site. Alternatively, you can contact the dealer, but the car will have to be towed there.

Q: Can you explain why there is a difference in the cost of replacement keys between Nissan models? What would be the price for a newer model at the dealer VS an automotive locksmith?

A: The price for Nissan key replacement varies according to the year of manufacture and the model. In the main, there are two different types of Nissan keys when it comes to replacement key cost:

  1. Non-transponder chip key – there is no need to code the key.
  2. Transponder chip keys  – the key needs to be coded.

Here’s an example of the price you can expect to pay for a key replacement:

 

Non-transponder Nissan replacement key cost –

Non-transponder Nissan key replacement
Non-transponder Nissan key replacement

From a Dealer –

If no coding is needed, you can call the dealer and have him cut you a new replacement key, which you can pick up at your convenience.

However, if the ignition was changed in the past, as may happen with older models, the codes the dealer has on file will not work and so the key won’t turn in the ignition.

It is also important to remember that the dealer only has codes on file for the original ignition and up to a certain year.  If the car is too old, it may be difficult to get a replacement key from the dealer.

Estimated cost: Usually around $70 for a new key.

 

From an Automotive Locksmith:

A locksmith usually charges a service fee plus the cost of the parts and labor for a replacement key.

You can therefore expect to pay more than the dealer would charge. However, since the cost of a non-transponder chip key is minor, you shouldn’t pay much more than the dealer charge and you have the convenience of a solution at your location as many locksmiths offer a mobile service.

Estimated cost: Usually around $155.

 

Transponder chip / “push to start” / fob / remote Nissan replacement key cost:

From a Dealer –

Keys of this type have to be coded in order to start the car and therefore the car will have to be towed to the dealership which will result in an additional cost.

The estimated cost for a transponder key: Usually around $160 for a new key.

An estimated cost for a remote key: Usually around $340 for a new key.

 

From an Automotive locksmith:

A locksmith usually charges a service fee plus the cost of the parts and labor for a replacement key so you can expect to pay more than the dealer would charge.

However, an automotive locksmith operating a mobile service can make the key on-site and therefore save you time and money and the hassle of towing the car to the dealer.

The estimated cost for a transponder key: Usually around $260 for a new key.

An estimated cost for a remote key: Usually around $380 for a new key.

Q: I called my Nissan dealer as I need a replacement key for my 1997 Nissan Altima. Unfortunately, they told me they can’t make me a replacement key as they don’t have the information on file. Can you explain why is that, where can I get a replacement key and how much should it cost?

"Lishi tools" used by an automotive locksmith to decode Nissan keys
“Lishi tools” used by an automotive locksmith to decode Nissan keys

A: Nissan dealers, like other car brand dealers, use a key code to cut a replacement key. Key codes are only available for a limited number of years – usually about 10 years or so.

Therefore, if your Nissan model is older than ten years, you may have a problem getting a replacement key from the dealer. In such a scenario, an automotive locksmith would be your best option.

The estimated cost should be around $155.

Q: Nissan key cutting – Who can cut and program a new key for my car? Can I get it done at any hardware store or should I go to an automotive locksmith or dealer? What is the procedure and how much does it cost?

"Blank" - Unused, new Nissan key - Must be cut first
“Blank” – Unused, new Nissan key – Must be cut first

A: There many different types of Nissan keys. Some can be cut with a basic cutting machine (mostly for older models made before 2010) and some, such as laser cut keys, can only be cut with a more advanced machine, which not all locksmiths carry, and definitely not hardware stores. Therefore, do your research before you decide where to get your Nissan key cut.

 

The next image is of a non-transponder key on a regular cutting machine:

In addition, there are a few things to consider:

First, you have to remember that cutting a new Nissan key probably won’t be enough for you to start your vehicle as most Nissan models made after 2005 requires coding in addition to cutting the key. Saying that, you will have to take care of coding the keys as well AFTER you had your key cut. Click here to see programming instructions for Nissan fobs, remotes and transponder keys

 

The next image is of a cut key and programming machine for Nissan Key:

Second, try to get the key code, which makes the process of cutting a new key very fast, from your dealer. They should be able to provide it for you after verification that you are the owner. Once you have this code, any locksmith should be able to cut you the key within minutes, and it would be cheaper as well.

 

How much should you expect to pay for cutting your Nissan key? (Not including coding/programming)

Laser-cut keys or remote emergency keys – About $50 if you have the key code. (If not about $80)

Regular key, transponder keys – about $20 if you have the key code. (If not about $50)
