How We Fix Nissan Key Problems
We follow a clear, documented process using non‑destructive methods wherever possible:
- Triage and Advice
- We’ll talk through symptoms over the phone and advise whether a mobile visit is necessary.
- On‑site Diagnostics
- Our vans carry dealer‑level equipment and OBD2 tools to read immobiliser codes, check for ECU faults, and identify whether EEPROM access is needed.
- Non‑Destructive Entry and Recovery
- If you’re locked out, we use non‑destructive vehicle unlocking techniques first. If a lock cylinder or ignition is damaged beyond repair, we explain options before any work begins.
- Key Cutting and Programming
- We cut laser and conventional keys on‑site using precision machines and program transponder chips, smart keys and remote fobs via OBD2/EEPROM or other manufacturer methods.
- Test and Warranty
- Every key we provide and every repair we carry out is tested on the vehicle and covered by a workmanship guarantee.
We maintain clear communication at each step and will always discuss rare exceptions up front — for example, where an ECU replacement or dealer security PIN is required for certain late‑model Nissans.

- Nissan Qashqai, Juke, X‑Trail, Micra, Note, Leaf, Pulsar, Navara, and Patrol

Frequently Asked Questions
Can You Make A Nissan Key Without The Original?
Yes. For many Nissan models we can create and program a new key without the original using OBD2 or EEPROM programming. A few late models may require additional security steps; we’ll explain any exceptions during the initial call.
How Long Does It Take To Get A New Nissan Key?
Most jobs (key cutting and programming) are completed on site the same day. The exact time depends on the Nissan model and whether EEPROM access or ECU work is required.
Will A Replaced Key Work With My Immobiliser?
Yes. We programme replacement keys to your vehicle’s immobiliser/ECU so they work identically to the originals. We use dealer‑level diagnostics and OBD2 programming tools for compatibility.
What If My Nissan Key Fob Has A Dead Battery?
Sometimes the fob only needs a battery replacement and re‑sync. We carry common batteries and diagnostic tools and will test the fob before recommending a replacement.
Is Entry Non‑Destructive?
We use non‑destructive entry methods wherever possible. If a lock cylinder or ignition must be replaced, we’ll explain the reasons and get your consent before doing any destructive work.
