I got a spare key for my 2006 Maxima off eBay and I need to have it cut and programmed. I got a quote from a locksmith for $35 to cut, $35 to porgram, $70 total. Sound reasonable? I would think I can get it cut for like 5 bucks at Home Depot or something. I'll plan on calling around, but that seems pretty steap.

Go to Ace Hardware.. They would probably do it for free but dont count on a replacement if they f it up

K, so it doesn't matter who cuts it, then right? Obviously Ace couldn't program it, I would just have to take it somewhere to get programmed.

match the fcc number and buy it off ebay then have dealer program it.

Can get it cut anywhere I'm sure, but Nissan is gonna have to reprogram it.

I would prefer to go to Nissan.. Cause if they mess up programing or cutting it.. They'll fix it.. "You get what you pay for"

I got 1 cut and 3 programmed at the dealership for $70 including the key, It would have been the same no matter how many were programmed.

My local dealer waned $35 for the key and cut and $99 to program. YIKES! I'll be going to a locksmith. I've been getting quotes around $80 for the whole shebang. Too bad the key won't have the pretty Nissan logo.

I think I'm going with the Ace Hardware cut and the Nissan Dealership programming. Thanks for the tips.

you should look on line in my neighborhood in jersey there is a dealer who sells keys and fobs on ebay and he programs key with the fob and cuts the key for a total of 65.00 without the fob it is 40.00 im sure if you did a search you can find someone in your area to good luck
