They claim they lost my keys...
The guys who did my SC also claim they lost my keys. I think its a scam...its a performance shop where you have a bunch of young dudes into cars so I'm afraid they might try something even though they offered to pay for it. Anyway...I called Nissan and they say they can "reprogram" my current keys so I dont have to but three new ones and also reprogram the computer in the car to recognize the new coding in the keys. This was good news because I was afraid I would have to replace everything locks n all!! Does anyone know about this and what I should expect from Nissan in terms of charges and service? Holla back...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but then don't the bozos still have a key that works your car? (assuming they didn't lose it)

Shops in Houston
I've heard of similar scams with shops in Houston, specifically Hocus Pocus. When you sign up at these shops, I suggest using a fake address so if they steal your key, they won't know where to find you.

I can live with them still being able to open the doors but since the keys are reprogrammed and the alarm is disabled by the original key's coding, when they reprogram the keys, the alarm wont recognize the original coding so...they'll be able to unlock the doors but the alarm should go off now right?

If they can open your doors then they can pop your hood and take the blower (they can also take the stuff from your trunk). The alarm will not go off if you use the key to unlock the door.

raise some HELL, or what i would do, go to the nissan dealership, make a friend, and get them to put the price of the key as $250, then get the shop to pay for it, i bet the key magically appears when you show them that, the police will also help in that situation. to me, it wouldn't be the cost of the key, i would be afraid of them taking stuff from my car, especially if i just had a s/c installed, shady indeed
p.s. scratch your name or something on the s/c, and other valuable parts, never know if these parts turn up at the shop again, might help if "THIS S/C IS STOLEN" was on it.
