We make and program Nissan keys at your car in Las Vegas, 24/7, for Altimas, Sentras, Rogues and the rest of the lineup. We cut and program on site, so your Nissan stays where it is parked and you never have to arrange a tow.
If you lost the only Intelligent Key or locked it inside, our vehicle lockouts service gets the door open first, and then we make a new key while you wait.
- Intelligent KeyThis is Nissan's name for its smart key, which stays in your pocket while you press the start button.
- Hidden bladeNissan smart keys contain a metal emergency blade that opens the door when the battery finally dies.
- Hold to startWhen the fob battery is weak, many Nissans let you hold the fob against the start button to start the engine.
- Chip keysMost Nissans from the 2000s have a transponder chip in the key head, even when the key has no buttons.

Which Nissan Key Do You Have?
Nissan used chip keys starting in the late 1990s, then remote head keys, and now the Intelligent Key on most newer vehicles.
- Chip keyThis is a plastic head key with a transponder inside, which the car reads before the engine will start, so we cut the blade and program the chip to your particular vehicle.
- Remote head keyThe lock buttons and the transponder chip are both in the head of the key, and we cut and program both parts while the car stays parked.
- Intelligent KeyThis is Nissan's smart key with push to start, and we program a new one on site, and the new key can replace a lost key in the vehicle's memory.

What a Nissan Key Costs in Las Vegas
A Nissan chip key or remote head key with programming typically costs $150 to $350 in Las Vegas. An Intelligent Key costs more than that because the fob itself and its setup are more expensive.
Older Nissans with a basic cut key usually cost $50 to $180, and nights, weekends and holidays usually add $25 to $75. Contact us for an exact price on your particular vehicle before anything is scheduled.
Make a Spare Before You Need One
A spare Nissan key made from a working key is quick and costs less. If every key is lost, we have to start fresh and teach the vehicle a new key, which takes considerably longer, and our car keys page explains the other keys we make.
Owning a Nissan in Las Vegas
Nissans are some of the most common vehicles in Las Vegas apartment parking lots and rideshare pickup lines. Heat can drain Intelligent Key batteries, and fobs left in cup holders get lost in shared cars, so if you drive for a living, a spare key at home can save an entire day of lost income.
Questions We Get Asked
Does a 2010 Nissan Altima have an Intelligent Key?
Many do, since the Altima moved to the Nissan Intelligent Key around 2007, which provides keyless entry and push to start. Some trims may still use a regular key, so check for a start button. We can make and program either kind on site.
Can you program a key fob for a Nissan Leaf?
Yes, the Leaf has used a key fob since it was introduced in 2010. We program the new fob to your car at your location in Las Vegas, and we test that it unlocks the doors and starts the vehicle before we leave.
Do you program fobs on site or at a shop?
We program them on site, because we are a mobile locksmith that works right where your Nissan is parked, whether that is at home, at work or in a parking lot, which saves you the expense of a tow. We serve Las Vegas and the nearby areas 24/7.
My Nissan key broke in half. Can you make a new one?
Yes, we can cut a new key from the broken pieces or from the original key code, then program the transponder chip so it starts your vehicle. If part of the key is stuck in the ignition or a door, we can extract it first.
