1998 Nissan Altima Metal Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
I was parked near Eden Gardens in Solana Beach, finishing up a different call, when my phone rang. An older couple had stopped in the area on a drive up the coast. Somewhere between stops, their only key went missing. Not broken, not worn out. Just gone.
They had already called the Nissan dealer. The service advisor told them to get the car towed in, said they'd need to verify ownership paperwork, and the earliest they could get to it was the following morning. The quote they were given was vague but not cheap.
I drove over and met them in a residential lot off the main stretch. The 1998 Altima has a standard mechanical key. No fob, no transponder, no module to talk to. I pulled out the plug decoder, read the wafer positions right out of the door lock cylinder, and had the key cut in about ten minutes. First try, turned clean.
The couple had been mentally preparing for an overnight situation and a tow bill. Instead they were back on the road before the sun finished setting. The dealer quote and the tow estimate just became a story they'd tell later.
That's most of these calls on older Nissans. People assume the process has to be complicated because cars are complicated now. On a 1998, it really is just the key.
