Nissan Car Key Replacement
Nissan Car Key Replacement
Nissan owners driving 2010-2015 Altimas, Rogues, and Sentras know dealer key replacement feels like highway robbery—often $280–$380+ for a proximity SmartKey or push-start backup. Our Calgary locksmiths fix the real problem: older Nissan proximity sensors losing range, fob buttons wearing thin, and weak batteries that dealers blame on “needing a new key.” We diagnose the actual issue first (sensor drain, $25–$45 battery swap) before recommending a full replacement, and when you do need a new Nissan key, we cut and program it on-site for $120–$185—less than half dealer cost. Whether your Altima push-start is sluggish, your Rogue’s SmartKey won’t recognize distance, or you need a spare before the only key fails, we handle all Nissan models with fast, transparent pricing and same-day service.
Nissan proximity keys and fobs require precise programming. Our automotive locksmith services are available 24/7.

We had a little problem. But Steven quickly came and sorted it out with great customer service. Also had Oleksii was able to help us out unlock another car in the past.

Amazing service. I locked my keys in the car and called several other places before calling Super G&R. Greg was very helpful and provided me with an exact rate (which was lower than anywhere else I called), and dispatched a technician immediately. Oleksii arrived within minutes, and was super kind. The process was very quick, I paid exactly what I was quoted, and it was an overall positive experience, despite an unfortunate situation.

Words cannot express my gratitude to Steve from Super G & R. I accidentally locked us out in a rather silly way, but thankfully, we contacted Super G & R, and Steve arrived in just 15 minutes! He explored all possible solutions to help us, and we felt incredibly grateful for his dedication and expertise. Thank you, Steve! We truly appreciate your help and are so thankful for your quick response and effective assistance!

Despite the extreme cold they were very cheerful, polite and answered all my questions with patience. I recommend 💯 and will definitely use there services again. Thank you again for all your help.

I just had an A-1 service call to open a locked door in southwest Calgary this morning. The best company!! Stephen took initial call and Brock unlocked the door! Superb service! I highly recommend this company. Polite, quick (Brock moved another appt. not an emergency, in order to help me out.) cannot say enough positive things about them!! Tell your friends!!

Don’t look further, they are the locksmiths you need! The customer service was A1 and the prices are extremely fair. Don’t even bother asking your dealership for a price, it wont even come close to theirs. I got a second car key done and they programmed my key fob… the key they made me works smoother than my original (My original is also an aftermarket key). Thank you guys for the great service!!

We had an amazing experience with Brock, the locksmith technician! My wife and I were locked out of our house during a power and internet outage in the neighborhood, and it was -15°C outside—an incredibly stressful situation, especially since we had just flown back from vacation.Brock went above and beyond to help us. Initially, out of frustration, I asked him to break our Google Nest door lock just to get us inside. However, Brock remained calm and professional, exploring alternative solutions. He successfully got us through the garage door, saving us from having to replace an expensive lock and saving us hundreds of dollars in service fees.Brock was polite, respectful, and an absolute delight to work with during what could have been a nightmare situation. His problem-solving skills and dedication to helping his customers truly impressed us. If you ever find yourself in a lock-out situation, I highly recommend Brock—he’s the best in the business!

Called at 6pm for immediate services and the job was complete by 9pm! I heard back from the technician, Brock, within minutes of inquiring and he gave me an approximate timeline and let me know he’d be in touch when he was on his way. He arrived exactly when he said he would and completed everything efficiently and professionally! 10/10 would recommend

TL;DR:Super G&R more than deserves the 5.0 they hold on Google, and I hope whoever reads this review understands that – should you choose G&R – your needs will be met and then some, and the service will be more than worth the price. Especially if you end up with Brock as your technician!–This is the most well-deserved 5-star review I think I have ever had the opportunity to leave.I spent the entirety of last night calling and contacting as many Calgary locksmiths as I could. Our cats were locked in my place while we are 7 hours away in Grande Prairie for the holidays. We’ve been gone for 2 days so far. I forgot to update the spare key that I had given my friend when our locks were changed, and we were running out of options to get the cats safe, checked on, and fed. I just needed a key cut manually and maybe a lockpick. Priority mail was a no-go while the postal infrastructure restabilizes post-strike – delivery times aren’t guaranteed, and we just didn’t have that kind of time.The other locksmiths I contacted quoted me $400-$500 just to get the lock picked and rekey, and none seemed to have the equipment or expertise available to cut a brand new key without one physically present, even with multiple photos and information about the lock and key itself. Some of them pushed to try to fix my issue completely on their terms – one gentleman even going so far as to call me back 15 minutes later and say “I’m on my way there,” /after/ I told him I couldn’t afford his services and would be driving back to Calgary in the morning instead.Not Brock though.I received the most welcome wake-up callback this morning after deciding to give up and drive home. Brock was available ASAP and understood my concerns. He was willing to co-ordinate with my friend, my parent, and I to manually cut a new set of keys, unlock the door, pay, and get the cats taken care of. He was very diligent re: security, making sure I provided documentation proving I’m the resident at the address he was going to be working at. Knowing that he cared about doing things the safe and ethical way was a huge relief. In addition, Brock was more than conscious of our budget.Not only did he save the day, he was also the kindest and most respectful out of every single individual I spoke to regarding the situation. I never felt pressured into buying x service, and he didn’t try to upsell or convince me to do something different simply because it would be easier for him – he was realistic about his abilities and helped set my expectations.Thanks to Brock our cats are safe and alive, fed, and happy, Uncle Hank got a little extra attention, and we can finally relax a little during the holiday season.Brock took the time and made a huge effort – and man, what a difference it made.Thank you Brock, and thank you Super G&R. You’ve earned the dedicated future business of me and my people – and I’ll sing your praises to anyone in the Calgary area who needs a locksmith from now on.Happy Holidays, Happy Solstice, Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanzaa, and Happy Hanukkah to all of you and your loved ones!

I locked my keys in my truck, Brock was quick to respond and his customer service was amazing. In a world where customer service seems to be lacking I won’t hesitate to use him and Super G&R in the future.

02:13 20 Dec 24
Amazing service! Brock was super professional to deal with and holds customer service up to a great standard. His attention to detail and quick response and service is top notch! Do not hesitate to ask for him! I write this as a small business manager that holds customer service to a very high standard! It has become increasingly challenging to find good customer service at all these days but Brock definitely proved to me that it still exists! Please call him for all your locksmith needs. Very fast turn around and top notch company!

I lost my key with the fob for my 2007 Mazda 6. I called the Mazda dealership and was quoted $570.00 for a replacement key. I called Calgary Locksmith Services to see about getting a new key the next day and I was told a technician would call me the next morning at 9:00 a.m. and they called right at 9:00 a.m. as promised. They quoted me $200.00 for a replacement key (the other quotes I received besides from the dealership ranged from $210.00 – $275.00). Oleksii met me at my car and had a new key cut and programmed within 20 minutes and it ended up costing less than the original quote. I was very happy with the service and price I received. Thank you!

I needed help with my BMW key that wasn’t working. Super G&R got back to me right away and they were so helpful. The technician recognized quickly what the issue was and told me a new BMW key (which is very costly), wasn’t really necessary. He referred me to a colleague who fixes tablets, phones etc. The gentleman who owns the repair store was awesome and didn’t give up until he figured out why the key wasn’t working. He was able to fix it for an extremely reasonable price. I was very impressed with the honesty and helpfulness of Super G&R and their professionalism to recommend their partner and help solve my issue.

I would use Super G&R again and can recommend their service. Oleksii was my technician and he did a great job and was very professional.I needed 8 locks changed and he was able to do it and also fix 2 doors that were difficult to open due to misalignment of the deadbolt. They now operate as smooth as butter and I can unlock them with one hand 👏
Sascha K.
19:42 09 Sep 24
Oleksii was kind and personable, very knowledgeable, installed our digital lock without issue, and explained to us everything we needed to know. He also arrived when he said he would, which is always nice. We wouldn’t hesitate to use his services again.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Andrey to install a new touchless key deadbolt, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the service he provided. Andrey was incredibly helpful from start to finish, ensuring that I understood the installation process and how to use my new lock. He was efficient, arriving on time and completing the installation quickly without compromising on quality.His professionalism and expertise were evident throughout the entire process.I highly recommend Andrey for anyone in need of reliable and skilled locksmith.

Greg is our best friend. WE LOVE GREG. We lost our car key on Saturday and because it was a long weekend we didn’² have alot of options until Tuesday. He was so patient and thorough and answered all of my many many questions through the weekend. We got the info from our dealership and he was at our place within an hour to get the key cut and programmed. The pricing was also AMAZING. Going through our dealership would of cost us around 600 by the end of everything, it was way way less than that with Greg. NEVER go to a dealership honestly. Thank you Greg!!! ❤️❤️❤️

22:34 06 Aug 24
I can’t sing the gang’s praises enough. When I contacted Greg for an automotive key replacement after being disappointed by another service not even showing up, he was mid job but advised me he’d try to be out the same eve if possible or he’d be out the next morning. He contacted me later in the evening and came out in severe overtime to ensure I didn’t get missed in getting our ability to use our car back. He and his team managed to take care of everything very smoothly even though our make of car (Hyundai) can apparently be very tricky to do for older models. I would highly recommend Super G&R’s services as they go the extra mile to both see your problem solved and keep you updated both on timing, and during the whole process on how its going, what they need to watch for, and best ways to solve problems. Thank you again Greg!

GREAT, fast, hassle free, locksmith! This guy was awesome. I’m from outside Calgary and had an appointment in the city so wasn’t exactly sure on the time- he just needed 15 mins notice and met me in south Calgary to reprogram my two fobs from Amazon and a key supplied by him. He was the lowest price from my other quotes too. Awesome service!

Had a nasty situation where someone got into my van and broke off a house key into my vehicles ignition. One of the owners personally came out and thanks to his experience and skill was able to extract the key without damaging the cylinder. A less skilled locksmith wouldn’t have been able to pull it off. Super Impressed can recommend.

Amazing service, friendly folks, quick response and high quality. We had an issue with our old 2006 BMW key, and the guys created a new one that works well and now we can use the remote features right from the key (and also use it for its main functionality).

Update – the lock was still acting weird – Andrey came over and figured out what was wrong with it. He also cut me new keys because I wanted some extras. Excellent, efficient service. Will be recommending them.Andrey was great! I have been having issues with my electronic lock and have fixed the problem myself in the past. This time, it wasn’t cooperating. I called, and Andrey helped me over the phone, and it seems to be working now.I really appreciate that he helped me remotely and didn’t come out just to charge a service fee. If I have any more lock or key needs, I’m definitely calling Super G&R, and will be recommending them to anyone who asks.

I was having issues with my car keys as well as ignition. In a state of panic, my husband contacted Super G&R Installation to aid me. Gregori immediately came to examine the issues I was experiencing with my keys and ignition. Gregori was able to make me a new car key as well as fix my ignition and my car door lock. The service I received was beyond exceptional.Additionally, Gregori even went out of his way to drop off my car keys to my work once he was done working on my vehicle.

I was in a pickle, locking myself out of my car; not from Calgary. Unfortunately the first tech wasn’t able to get in, but he quickly phoned his other tech who had the right tools. They were able to get me into my car and back on the road in a very timely manner. For a pretty fair price. I highly recommend them, since they’re also 24/7, if it wasn’t for them, I would have had to stay another night in the City, and go down to a Dealership to get a door key cut. Super honest Tech’s.

Super G&R Installation was amazingly helpful and prompt. My key fob broke the day I was supposed to drive down to the states for school. Needless to say, I was super stressed and panicked about what to do. I called Super G&R Installation and Greg was able to help me out the same day I called. He programmed a replacement key for my car and I was able to start my drive down to school. Overall Greg was super helpful, I highly recommend this place.

Nissan Car Key Replacement in Calgary - FAQs
My 2012 Nissan Altima SmartKey stopped working at distance—does the whole fob need replacing?
Not always. Older Nissan proximity sensors frequently fail before the fob itself does, or the battery is simply dead. We test the fob on our diagnostic equipment and usually find it’s a $20–$45 battery or sensor issue, not a $160+ replacement. If the fob truly is worn (cracked housing, button damage), a new one runs $140–$180 on-site. Call (403) 667-5285 and we’ll identify which one applies to your Altima.
My 2014 Rogue's push-start button sticks sometimes and the fob won't unlock from the car—related?
They can be. A sticking button often means low battery voltage in the fob itself, which can also reduce wireless signal strength to the car. Alternatively, your Rogue’s receiver module may be weak. We swap the fob battery ($15–$40) and test the button response—if that doesn’t fix it, we reprogram the key or diagnose the car’s receiver (usually 30–45 minutes total). Dealers typically just sell you a new fob for $280+; we troubleshoot first.
Dealer quoted $350 for a second Nissan Sentra key—you probably can't beat that, right?
Actually, we can. A basic flip key for an older Sentra (2008–2015) runs $85–$130 programmed same-day. If your Sentra has a proximity SmartKey, expect $160–$195 for a new one, still well under half dealer cost. We cut, program, and test it while you wait—no overnight shipping, no guessing games. Call us for an exact quote based on your Sentra year and key type.
