1998 Nissan Altima MECHANICAL-KEY Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
If you want the fastest possible 1998 Nissan Altima key replacement, here's what to have ready when I arrive. Your VIN, the 17-character code on the dashboard driver's side, visible through the windshield. Your ID proving ownership. And if you have a working key, even a dead one, keep it nearby because add-a-key is faster than all-keys-lost.
A Pilates instructor at a strip mall studio in Solana Beach had all three ready when I pulled up. She had a break between classes and texted me the VIN before I left my last job. Her Altima needed a spare and with the VIN, I already knew her MECHANICAL-KEY, FCC ID , and the exact 3-button configuration before I arrived. I had the blank prepped in the van on the drive over.
I used my VVDI2 to clone the transponder from her working key onto the new blank. Because she had the VIN ready and a working key present, I skipped the lock decode entirely and went straight to cutting and programming. Total time from parking my van to handing her a tested spare was 17 minutes.
That's the fastest version of this job at around $95 total. Dealer charges $200 for the same key without the speed.

“The dealership quoted me $600 for a new Honda key. EZ Car Keyz did it for $225, same day, cut and programmed at my house. Works perfectly. Everyone should know this is an option.”
“A+ service at an even better price. Tim was a lifesaver. I lost my original and only key for my Audi and he was willing to come to my location at 8pm the same day. He worked fast, communicated clearly, and made sure everything worked before leaving.”
“I called over 40 locksmiths trying to get a key made for my Audi A6 and nobody could do it. Tim made it easy, fast, and affordable. He showed up with a smile and got the job done without any stress. Absolute wizard with keys.”
