Where to cut and program new transponder key?

I recently purchase 4 new transponder keys for my maxima. I was wondering if anyone knows of a place out in SO cali. that cut and programs transponder keys. Thus far, the best price I have gotten is 10 each for cutting, and 45 for programming all the keys. If anyone knows a better deal, I would really appreciate it.

That is a pretty good price you have at the moment. Might be better if you try the regional forums aswell.

I had two cut and programmed at the dealer for 40 bucks. They cut them for free but programming is 40 beans no matter how many keys. 10 bucks is rediculous just for a cut. Hell wal-mart can cut them. Its the programming that is expensive.

Cerritos Nissan. 800-804-7103. What place does a quality job cutting the key? Is Walmart a good place to get them done? I just called the dealership and one guy told me we don't cut keys because its a liability so I am kind of confused. But he said it would be 45 for programming.

BEST DEAL! 57 total of 4 keys with cutting and programming. Oh and 40 for the key purchasing the keys. But at the end of the day its way better than 125 a pop at the dealership. Go to a good locksmith that do a quality cutting job (3 bucks a pop) then go to a dealership and have them program ur remotes and key all for 45.

Compared to the dealers here thats a steal. Ive been quoted 90-125 from the dealer for the programming and not including the key.
